1. See it — free
A 20-minute Zoom walkthrough through BuzzTech running at Forest & Bees, shown with permission. You see how a real business uses it week in and week out, without needing to disclose your own figures. Costs nothing, commits nothing.
What it costs
Free to see. Fixed to prove. Monthly to run.
No procurement project and no surprise invoice. You see the product on a free Zoom walkthrough, prove it on a fixed-quote pilot, and only then move to a monthly subscription sized to your operation.
Three steps
Each step is priced before you take it.
2. Prove it — fixed-quote pilot
One apiary group, one crew, one workflow, typically 4 to 8 weeks. The quote is fixed and written down before we start, so the scope cannot creep. Most pilots land in the low thousands of NZ dollars, not enterprise territory.
3. Run it — monthly subscription
Priced around the modules, users, rollout and support you actually choose. Operational scale is only discussed when you are comfortable and it becomes relevant to the written scope. Your data exports any time, so nothing holds you hostage.
How to scope
Price the workflow, not the fantasy platform.
The first scope should include the business outcome, data owners, modules, reporting rhythm, training need, integration complexity and success measure.
Small pilot
One crew or apiary group, one workflow, limited reports and quick review.
Operations pilot
Field states plus manager reports, tags, training and evidence review.
Honey office pilot
ApiDrums, ApiBlends, ApiPos, extraction, lab coverage, offer planning and retail stocktake.
Connected pilot
Sensors, shed monitoring, alerts, compliance proof and reporting.
See before you scope
The first conversation starts with real operating evidence.
These are deliberately controlled, public-safe glimpses of the system in use: the emailed round report, the real room where the team plans, and genuine ApiDash views flattened into a low-detail composite.
The email managers receive
A real report output with site names, people, dates and operational notes fictionalised for publication.
The room where the plan lives
A real wall display and real team context, flattened into one controlled-resolution image.
Three real ApiDash views
The UI structure is genuine; the composite keeps operational names, notes and locations below useful reading resolution.
See it working
Twenty minutes on Zoom. A real operating system, working week in and week out.
We walk through BuzzTech as it is used at Forest & Bees: round reports, crew planning, field follow-up and the systems behind the week. You see a functioning business, not a staged demo. We do not need your hive count or operational figures to show it.
Your information stays optionalThe walkthrough uses the Forest & Bees system with permission. You choose whether to discuss your own scale, locations or commercial details.
