Automation and website proposal

Fit Futures Academy. Four projects, shown working.

Thank you for the scope of works. It sets out clearly what Fit Futures needs, and it made pricing straightforward. This proposal covers all four projects, with a fixed build price and a monthly price for each, as you asked. Every price is in NZD and excludes GST.

The goal: take the repetitive work off your team, so their time goes to students, sales and the work only people can do.

Project 1

Payment follow-up automation

When Direct Debit Success reports a bounced payment, the system finds the student, works out whether it is their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or later bounce, and fires the matching step in your existing collection process. Your team is notified at each step. Your wording and your process stay exactly as they are. We automate when each step happens, not what it says.

    5. 5th+

    Assumption. Direct Debit Success gives us its bounce reports either through a live connection or as a regular report. We confirm which in the first week after access, before any build work is invoiced.

    What you get

    No more manual checking of bounce reports, no missed follow-ups, and a clear record of where every overdue account sits.

    Price

    $1,299 build

    $99 a month

    For hosting, monitoring and support.

    For comparison

    Debt collection software such as ezyCollect starts at $275 a month plus setup fees of $900 to $3,900.

    Project 2

    Daily social content

    A post created and published every day on Instagram and Facebook, with captions and images in your brand, built from your Canva brand assets.

    Press Generate month, then pick a day to preview its post here.

    You stay in control. Nothing posts until it is approved, and any caption can be changed before its time comes round. Posts are image and caption posts. Video can be added later as a separate option.

    What you get

    A consistent daily presence without anyone on your team writing, designing or scheduling posts.

    Price

    $799 build

    $199 a month

    For daily content across both platforms.

    For comparison

    Scheduling tools alone cost $37 to $149 a month, and they still need someone to write and design every post.

    Project 3

    Tutor question assistant

    Answers the routine questions students ask again and again, inside your learning platform, Cloud Assess, using your own course material. Anything complex or personal goes straight to a tutor.

    • Nothing waiting. Questions a person should answer land here.

    A possible saving. Cloud Assess includes some AI tools of its own. If your plan already covers part of this, we set up and connect what you have instead, for $699 build and $59 a month. We check this in the first week after access and tell you which applies before any work is invoiced.

    What you get

    Tutors spend their time on the students who need them. Your target is to take around 80% of the routine question load off them. We build towards that target and measure it with you after launch.

    Price

    $1,499 build

    $149 a month

    Or $699 build and $59 a month if Cloud Assess already covers part of it.

    For comparison

    AI assistant software starts around $120 a month for the software alone, and larger platforms run into the thousands each month.

    Project 4

    Website upgrade

    A full redesign of the Fit Futures Academy website: new design, clear structure, fast on phones, built to turn visitors into enquiries and enrolments. We review your current site and content first and recommend the right structure.

    What you get

    Price
