Spend less, run smoother, and keep working when things go wrong.
NetworkOne helps owners and managers find where money, time and resilience are leaking out of the business, and then fixes it. Independent advice, fixed-price reviews, and fees tied to the savings we find.

What we do
Six ways we make a business stronger
Every engagement comes back to three things: lower running costs, less operational risk, and less time lost to manual work.
Business Continuity Planning
Know what happens if a key system, supplier, person or building is suddenly unavailable, and have a tested plan for it.
Cost Reduction
Overheads reviewed line by line: telco, software subscriptions, IT contracts, hosting and other recurring supplier spend.
IT Cost Audit
An independent check of what you pay for IT against what you actually use and need, from licences to managed services.
Process Improvement
Map how work really flows through the business, remove the steps that add nothing, and fix the hand-offs that cause delays.
Efficiency and Automation
Give staff back hours each week by automating the copy-and-paste, re-keying and chasing that fills their days.
Systems Integration
Connect the systems you already have, so data is entered once and flows to wherever it’s needed.
Where to start
Start with an Operations Review
A fixed-price, two-to-three-week look at the whole business through three lenses: what you spend, what could stop you, and where time is lost. You get a plain-English report with every recommendation costed and ranked, so you can decide what to act on and in what order.
Fixed price, agreed before we start. Typically from $3,500 + GST for a business of 10 to 50 staff. If you go ahead with a project from the report within three months, half the review fee comes off the project price.
Listen
We talk to the owner, managers and the people doing the work, to understand how the business runs and where it hurts.
Look
We go through bills, contracts, systems and day-to-day processes, looking for waste, risk and work done twice.
Report
You get a costed, prioritised action plan: what to change, what it will save or protect, and what it will cost to do.
Why NetworkOne
Business advice with real technical depth
Most business advisers stop where the technology starts, and most IT providers don’t look past the technology. We work across both, because that’s where the biggest savings and the biggest risks usually sit.
Our background is nearly two decades of designing, automating and rescuing systems for organisations from small non-profits to national research institutes. We know what things should cost, how they fail, and how much work a well-built system can take off people’s hands.
- Independent. We take no commissions or referral fees from suppliers.
- Paid for results. Cost recovery is charged as a share of verified savings.
- Plain English. Reports are written for the people who run the business, not the IT team.
- Hands-on. We can carry out the changes, or brief whoever you choose to.
- Nationwide. Based in Wellington, working with organisations across New Zealand.
Results
Measured in outcomes, not hours
Client names are withheld, but every project and figure is real.
Cost · Process · Integration
Cutting $2 million a year from an internet provider’s costs
A fast-growing provider was overpaying on one of its largest overheads, and every new customer meant more manual work. Both problems were fixed.
Business continuity
Keeping a customer-facing service running through an outage
A business that couldn’t afford downtime, or an enterprise price tag, now recovers from losing a whole site in about four minutes.
Business continuity · Risk
Protecting a lab’s core records before its server failed
Quotes, certificates and years of records depended on one ageing server. That risk was removed without a day of disruption.
