A dozen systems. One command centre.
The AI-first command centre your business runs on. One place, built around how you actually work, that replaces the SaaS sprawl, connects your data, and runs on RIVER AI.
Systems that don't talk to each other? You still stitch the business together by hand.
- Replaces the SaaS sprawl, connects your data
- Tailored from 100+ proven modules, live in weeks
- Sovereign hosting in Aotearoa, and yours to keep
You bought the tools. You still run the business by hand.
Every subscription solved one problem and left another: another login, another version of the truth, another export someone reconciles by hand. The command centre is the opposite - one place, your data reconciled, the AI on top - and your data, workflows and IP stay yours.
Your stack today
With RIVER
A dozen subscriptions, and none of them talk.
One place, your systems connected and reconciled.
The real numbers live in an export someone rebuilds each week.
One trusted view you can just ask, current to the minute.
On your data, in your cloud, and never used to train a model.
Every new need means another SaaS seat and another silo.
New capability added to your command centre, not another tool to buy.
Your people copy data between systems all day.
The routine runs itself, with a human on the loop.
An enterprise platform is a multi-year, multi-million project.
Tailored from proven modules, so it lands in weeks at a fraction of the cost.
The tools go quiet. The business runs from one place.
Quick wins first. The command centre in stages.
We don't sell you the whole platform on day one. Quick wins, then workflows and agents running unattended, then the command centre the business runs on - each stage live and paying off before the next.
One place, one source of truth
It starts with your systems agreeing and one place to ask. Connect what you run, reconcile the data, and get a single view anyone can just ask.
6 systems connected · last sync 2m ago
Six systems flowing into one command centre, reconciled every 5 minutes - no exports, no copy-paste, no overnight batch.
Then it does the work
On that foundation, the routine runs itself and agents handle whole workflows unattended - you see the exceptions, not the busywork.
One order, four systems updated, no one re-keying it. Exceptions still route to a human.
You don't start from scratch. The command centre is mostly built.
RIVER is over 100 prebuilt modules on Catalyst, 15+ years of IP - so your command centre is tailored in weeks, not a multi-year rebuild. Because roughly 80% of it already exists in Catalyst, it costs a fraction of an enterprise platform, and it's built to pass the procurement review that comes next.
Everything a procurement or legal team needs is in our Trust Centre
- 100% New Zealand built, Māori and Pacific owned, under New Zealand law.
- You own your data, your workflows and your IP - always, not at the end of a term.
- Sovereign hosting in Aotearoa, with the security documentation a procurement review asks for.
Our business runs on what RIVER built. They have been central to our technology and our growth, and it keeps driving results.

Or start on the Retainer from $5,000 a month. Miss the agreed go-live date, and the retainer is free until we hit it.
Every command centre includes
- A map of your systems and data, and an agreed first quick win
- Your systems connected and your data reconciled into one place
- Plain-language questions over your own data
- The routine automated, and agents on the standing jobs, human on the loop
- The security documentation procurement asks for
- Sovereign hosting in Aotearoa or your own cloud, and yours to keep
The questions people ask when they’re ready to move.
Those know how to write. They don’t know your business. A chat window can’t see your systems, your data or your numbers, so it can’t answer the questions that actually run the day - which is why the rollout changed less than you hoped.
- Connected to your data, so the answer is your real numbers, sourced to the record - not a plausible guess.
- It can act, not just chat - across the systems you run, with a human on the loop.
- Keep the tools your team likes.The command centre sits over them; it doesn’t replace the chat they already use.
They’re the same team and the same platform, at different scopes. The command centre is the whole; the other two are ways in.
- An ERP Rescue makes one system you already run intelligent.
- Apps & Data is the foundation underneath - the data cleaned, the systems wired together.
- The command centre is where they add up: one place the business runs from, with the AI on top.
Most clients start with one win and grow into the command centre.
No - we connect what you already run.The command centre sits over your systems, not instead of them, and replaces the SaaS you’re duplicating only when you choose to.
- Your systems of record stay, connected through their APIs.
- The SaaS sprawl retires on your terms, as the command centre takes over what it was doing.
- You start small, with one quick win, then grow.
Your data, workflows and IP stay yours, and they’re portable. The lock-in you have today is the dozen vendors who hold your data. The command centre is the opposite - and if you ever leave, you leave with your data and your workflows.
- Yours, always - your data, workflows and IP, not at the end of a term.
- Built on Catalyst,RIVER’s platform and 15+ years of IP - which is why it lands in weeks and costs a fraction, rather than being rebuilt from scratch on your dime.
- Hosted where you choose - sovereign in Aotearoa, or your own cloud - never used to train a model, and audit-ready on request.
Sovereign in Aotearoa, or your own cloud - either way it stays yours. In the region you choose, and never used to train a model.
- Sovereign hosting in Aotearoa, managed and monitored for you.
- Or your own tenancy (Azure, AWS or GCP), if you have one.
- Audit-ready, with the security documentation a procurement review asks for.
The Trust Centre carries the detail your audit will ask for.
Weeks, not quarters. Because so much is already built, the first quick win lands inside the opening sprint.
- Weeks, not a quarter, to the first win live in one place.
- Each month adds another system, workflow or agent.
- You see value beforeyou’ve paid for the whole thing.
Easy to start. Fast to prove. Built to scale.
