Software developer for New Zealand businesses: tourism, trades and shed builders, remote and in English
I build booking systems, quote tools, 3D configurators and websites for New Zealand businesses, remotely from Buenos Aires, in English. New Zealand is 15 to 16 hours ahead of Argentina depending on the time of year: your morning is my afternoon the day before, and that window is enough.
If you run a business in New Zealand and need a booking system, a quote tool, a 3D configurator or a website built around the way you work, I can build it remotely from Buenos Aires, Argentina, in English. New Zealand is 15 to 16 hours ahead of Argentina depending on the time of year: when you start your day, it's still the afternoon before here.
Odd as it sounds, that window is enough. Your first hour of the morning lines up with my working afternoon, and for the rest of the day we each get on with our part. Here's which Kiwi businesses get the most out of custom software and what the working rhythm looks like.
Small teams that do everything
Plenty of New Zealand businesses are run by a handful of people, and the owner does a bit of everything: serving customers, selling, writing quotes, answering email at night. For them, a tool of their own isn't a luxury. It's how they get hours back.
Tourism. A lodge, a tour operator, a kayak or bike hire. Bookings come in by email, phone and booking sites, and someone has to reconcile them by hand. Your own booking system shows real availability and sends customers their confirmations and reminders. I wrote about that in equipment rental software and websites for small hotels and cabins.
Trades. Sparkies, plumbers, builders: quotes written at night and site visits that go nowhere. A quote tool on your site collects photos, measurements and location before you head out.
Rural. Farmers and rural contractors juggling orders, machinery and jobs in spreadsheets only their author understands.
Sheds and garages: let the customer design it
If you build or sell sheds, garages or carports, a 3D configurator lets customers design theirs in metres, choose the roof, doors and colours, see it in 3D and send you a complete request. For someone on a farm or out on an island, it saves the trip to your display site, and it saves you quoting for tyre-kickers.
NZ buyers have a lot in common with Australian ones, and I went into detail in 3D configurators for Australian shed builders. What changes is your models, your rules and where you deliver.
The demo: Estructuras 3D
Estructuras 3D is my own configurator for metal buildings, carports, horse stalls and modular homes, in English and Spanish. Customers change the size, roof, materials and colours, see it in 3D by day or by night and request a quote with everything they chose. You can try it at render.facundocampo.com.ar/en.
It isn't a New Zealand client. It's the base I use to show a builder what theirs would look like, with their own models and rules.

- One fixed call a week in your morning, which is my afternoon the day before. Half an hour to go over progress and make decisions.
- Tuesday to Friday. Your Monday morning is my Sunday, so the call never lands on a Monday.
- Progress by link. Every update goes up on a link you open on your phone when you get a minute.
- Async messages. Send me WhatsApp messages or emails with screenshots or voice notes, without waiting for an instant reply.
- Ask in the afternoon, review in the morning. I work while you sleep.
How we get started
First, a video call where you show me how you work today: the booking setup you use, the spreadsheets, the quote you send. From that I put together a proposal in phases and a quote. The phases are short on purpose: with this much distance, it pays to catch anything off early. At the end you get everything up and running with access to your own dashboard. More on this way of working in working with a remote developer.
I work in English and Spanish. If you want te reo Māori on your site, you bring the text and I'll set it up properly.
What to check locally
New Zealand has its own rules on privacy and tax. I set up consent checkboxes, a privacy page with your wording and permissions so each staff member only sees what they need. What the law requires and how to invoice is a question for your accountant or a local professional.
Frequently asked questions
When do we have calls?
In your morning, which is my afternoon the day before. New Zealand is 15 to 16 hours ahead of Argentina depending on the time of year, so a call at 8 or 9 your time catches me during my working hours.
What about Mondays and Fridays?
Your Monday morning is my Sunday, and your Friday afternoon is already Thursday night here. So the fixed call goes Tuesday to Friday in your morning, and anything urgent for the weekend gets sorted beforehand.
Can the site be in English and te reo Māori?
I can build it with both versions, or with te reo wherever you want it. I write in English and Spanish, so the te reo text comes from you or whoever prepares it for you, and I set it up properly.
Who checks the legal and tax side?
New Zealand has its own privacy and tax rules. I build the forms, permissions and notices you need, but what the law requires for your business is a question for your accountant or a local professional.
