Business in Wellington
Parliament and most government ministries are based in the capital, so policy, consulting, legal and IT contracting work dominate the central city. Wētā FX and Wētā Workshop make Miramar a centre for film visual effects and props, and software firms, games studios and the head offices of several insurers and funds add private-sector jobs.
Also known as Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
Where software helps: Wellington's visual-effects houses and production suppliers budget per shot and per show, juggle freelance crew and overseas studio clients paying in US dollars, and must track costs closely to claim the NZ Screen Production Rebate.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Wellington: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Wellington?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Wellington; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Wellington and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 6 h 30 min behind Wellington on standard time, and 7 h 30 min behind during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 02:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by 1 h 30 min to 2 h 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.
Can your AI agents talk to customers in English and Māori?
For English, yes: current language models handle it well, including mixed-language messages. Support for Māori is more limited, so we test with real customer messages before committing to it, and route anything the agent is unsure about to your team.
What would a first project look like for a professional services business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For professional services that is often time tracking & utilisation and engagement & matter management. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
