Your ERP runs the business. Now make it intelligent.
The ERP you already run, made intelligent. Ask it questions in plain language, connect it to everything around it, and trust the numbers.
Ideal if your ERP is more manual than it should be, and was never built to be AI-first.
- Works on the ERP you already run
- Live in weeks, not quarters
- NZ-owned, your data stays yours
It was never your ERP. And it was never the AI.
You’ve been sold the rebuild and the pilot, and both left you here. The real problem was always underneath: your systems don’t talk, so the numbers can’t be trusted, and feeding it by hand costs more than it saves. RIVER builds the connective layer on top.
Your ERP today
With RIVER
You export to a spreadsheet to answer a simple question.
You ask in plain language and get the answer, sourced to the record.
Every system holds a slightly different version of the truth.
One connected view, reconciled and current.
A report is a ticket to IT and a week's wait.
The question answers itself, the moment you ask it.
On your data, in your cloud, and never used to train a model.
You do the manual work the system was meant to save you.
Routine approvals and busywork run themselves, with a human on the loop.
Replacing the ERP is a multi-year project nobody wants.
We build on top of what you run. No rip-and-replace.
The system stays. The friction goes.
Start with your systems. Build the intelligence on top.
Your ERP stays exactly where it is. We connect it, keep the data honest, and add an AI + automation layer on top.
One source of truth
It starts with your systems agreeing. We connect them and keep the numbers clean, so everything downstream is worth trusting.
4 systems connected · last sync 2m ago
30,864 records flowing between systems, reconciled every 5 minutes - no exports, no copy-paste, no overnight batch.
Put it to work
On that foundation, your team asks the ERP anything in plain language - and lets it clear the routine work.
Which customers are overdue over $10k, and who should we chase first?
Three accounts, $72,020 overdue in total. Harbourline is the most urgent - largest balance and 34 days out.
Sourced live to the AR ledger · ask a follow-up, or say “draft the reminders”
You don't start from scratch. We tailor what's proven to your systems.
RIVER is over 100 prebuilt modules, so a rescue tailors to your ERP in weeks - not a years-long rebuild - and it is 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.
- Audit-ready: the security documentation a procurement review asks for, on request.
Our business runs on what RIVER built. They have been central to our technology and our growth, and it keeps driving results.
Mark BramwellDirector, Commercial Realty · 2024Built for someone like you. The client, their numbers, and their sign-off.
Start small, then grow.
Audit
Weeks 1-2
We map your systems, find where it hurts most, and agree what the first win looks like.
Deliver
Weeks 3-6
We connect your ERP to the systems around it and clean the data, so the first win is live and trusted.
Grow
Weeks 7-12
Your team asks in plain language and trusts the answers - and it grows a month at a time.
The investment
One system made intelligent, one workflow.
Or start on the Retainer from $5,000 a month. If something isn’t delivered, that month is free.
Every rescue includes
- A systems audit that agrees your first win
- Your ERP connected, your data cleaned and reconciled
- Plain-language questions over your own data
- Routine approvals and busywork automated, human on the loop
- The security documentation procurement asks for
- Hosted in your cloud or NZ-hosted, and yours to keep
The questions people ask when they’re ready to move.
No - a rescue builds on top of what you run, it never replaces it. We connect to your ERP through its API and add the intelligence on top, so nothing is ripped out.
- Your ERP stays the system of record. It keeps doing exactly what it does today.
- Every workflow your team knows keeps working. No retraining, no migration, no cut-over weekend.
- You start small. One system, one question - then grow from there.
If the data underneath needs work first, that’s Apps & Data - the same team, the layer below.
Anything with an API, which today is almost every ERP. The ones we connect to most:
- SAP and SAP S/4HANA
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
- NetSuite
- MYOB and Xero
Where an integration is unusual, we scope it and tell you what it takes before anything starts.
Wherever suits you - your cloud, or hosted for you. Either way your data stays yours, in the region you choose, and it is never used to train a model.
- Your cloud, if you have one. Azure, AWS or GCP - it runs in your own tenancy, wherever your systems already sit.
- Or hosted for you.We run it on New Zealand infrastructure, managed and monitored, so you don’t have to.
- Yours, and audit-ready. Never used to train a model, and the security documentation a procurement review asks for is on request.
The Trust Centre carries the detail your audit will ask for.
Only where you want it to. You decide what the platform handles on its own and what waits for a person - and it never crosses that line.
- Routine work, automated.The low-risk, repetitive tasks you’d rather not touch - cleared for you, with a human on the loop.
- Anything high-stakes waits for you. It drafts, matches and recommends; the final call stays yours.
- Always traceable. Every action is logged and sourced to the record it came from, so you can see exactly what happened.
Weeks, not quarters. The first connection lands inside the opening Sprint - not at the end of a program.
- 2-4 weeks to the first live connection.
- Each month adds another system or workflow.
- You see value before you have paid for the whole thing.
Easy to start. Fast to prove. Built to scale.

Perspective
ERP Was Supposed to Fix Everything
Enterprise resource planning promised to unify your business. Three decades later, most organisations are still working around their ERP, not with it.

Data Quality Is the AI Bottleneck Nobody Budgets For
After a year of enterprise AI delivery, the pattern is unmistakable. Projects don't fail because the model is wrong. They fail because the data feeding the model is inconsistent, incomplete, or just plain wrong.
Teams like yours, in their own words.
