Software for NZ rental operators, built by one.
I run Jimny Rentals and Dream Drives, and I build the software that runs them. Booking systems, bond protection, vehicle relocation, fleet compliance. If it bites you at 7am on a pickup, I have probably already built the fix.1

Four products, one fleet behind them.
Each one is built against real hires in my own fleet, not a whiteboard. I use them in my own business before I ask you to.
I am not a vendor who read about rental. I run two fleets.
Jimny Rentals and Dream Drives are mine. The software you would buy is the software I use to take a booking, hold a bond, move a car to the right city, and keep a WOF from lapsing. When something breaks at 7am, I feel it first.
The stuff that bites a rental operator is not on any brochure.
The build work, for how rental actually runs.
Custom builds land between $15k and $60k. Integrations and website work start from around $3k. And Glovebox starts free if off-the-shelf fits.
Software clients still use every week.
Rental management software built for how NZ hire actually works. Bookings, bonds, GST, CoF, Windcave, Stripe Connect and Xero, all multi-tenant from the first commit. Runs real NZ rental fleets end to end, every day.
A free, mobile-first app for NZ rental operators to track CoF, rego, RUC and service history in one place, without another spreadsheet. The free front door to Glovebox. Live and free for NZ operators today.

Readers submit a photo, AI turns it into a full satirical NZ news article with a fake reporter byline and comment thread. A live, self-running AI media experiment. A self-running AI news experiment, live around the clock.

How we work, start to finish.
Longtime clients outside the fleet world, some going back 15 years.
Targa NZ / Silver Fern Rally01I've been working with Adam since 2011 and he's genuinely one of the most valuable people in our corner. He built the booking system we've run for years, handles our photography, keeps our social media sharp, and even comes on a few events to help out. He's not just a supplier — he's become a good mate who actually cares how Targa performs. There's not much he can't do, and that matters when you're running a fast-moving event business.
Selwyn Sounds02Adam's been looking after the Selwyn Sounds website since 2019 and I honestly couldn't manage without him. When we drop a new lineup, the traffic hits hard and fast — he's across it before I even have to ask. He's always suggesting smarter ways to do things online, and he's the kind of person who'll sort things out late at night without making a fuss about it. It's a great partnership.
Great Range Products03Two years in and Adam's made our Shopify setup so much better. He just gets it — whether it's integrations, updates, or something we haven't thought of yet, he's on it. On top of that he's become a good mate, which makes working together pretty easy. Highly recommend.
The things people actually ask.
You own the code, the hosting and the data. Everything is standard Laravel with documentation, so any competent Laravel developer can pick it up and keep it running. Nothing is locked to me.
Yes. The code, the repository, the hosting account and the data are all yours.
Fixed when the scope is clear, hourly when it is not. Agreed upfront either way, so there are no surprises.
Yes. Most clients are elsewhere in NZ and we work video-first. Happy to meet in person if you are local.
One person builds what you need. Software you own, not another monthly login.
Got a spreadsheet you wish was software?
Tell me what you're trying to fix or build. No pitch deck. No handoff to someone else. Just a straight chat about whether I can help.
Got it. I'll be in touch within a few hours.
Meantime, feel free to reply straight to the email that lands in your inbox.
