Built in Auckland

Focus on your own work.
We’ll build the admin around it.

Hi, I'm Gerhard.

You stay on the job. STROOM builds the admin around how you already work — the first reply, the evening call, the details.

You’ll work with the person building it. I use AI in the work, and keep responsibility for the decisions, the details and the result.

The way I see it

The best technology gives you more room to be on the tools.

More time with the job. More attention for the work you’re good at. Less of the copying, chasing and repeating that fills the gaps.

That is the build: reception, customer service and admin, around your work. You keep the quotes, the visits and the judgment.

From a thought to a useful thing

Let's make some progress.

Small enough to start. Specific enough to matter.

  1. Step 1

    Find the useful part.

    Tell me what keeps getting in the way. We look at the business, the people doing the work and the tools already in place.

    A real problem, clearly understood.

  2. Step 2

    Make it tangible.

    A working preview or focused first version gives us something to react to. You can see the direction before we agree what comes next.

    Something to try. Something to improve.

  3. Step 3

    Build around you.

    We agree the scope, costs, boundaries and care. Then shape the details to your business and check the parts that need a human decision.

    Your process, with less friction.

  4. Step 4

    Keep it useful.

    Businesses move. Your website and tools should move with them. Ongoing care and adjustments stay within the scope we agree together.

    A useful system, looked after.

Experience behind the studio

Built by doing.

Selected projects that inform the work. Independent builds and experiments, not client success stories.

Image processing

House Painter

A tool that reads a photograph of a New Zealand house and returns usable paint colour values. A practical problem turned into a focused interface.

Colour analysis · image handling · useful output

What this experience means for your project

Turning a complex input into something someone can use. With image-based tools, the quality of the source matters: light changes how a colour appears, so digital colour values are a starting point for comparing physical paint samples.

Interface & design systems

Taste Studio

A React and TypeScript frontend with a reusable design system for food and hospitality brands. An exploration of how distinct interfaces can share a coherent foundation.

Frontend craft · reusable patterns · consistency

What this experience means for your project

A consistent experience as your website grows: type, colour, forms and navigation work together. A design system helps maintain that consistency; your content, customer journey and business requirements still shape every page.

Signal Scout · workflow automation

Less to sift through. More worth your attention.

Signal Scout collects information, scores it and prepares a report. Explore the principle below: every input needs a decision before it earns a place in your day.

1 · InputChoose an example update

The example brief: find updates that could reduce repetitive admin.

2 · DecisionApply the agreed rules

Useful, and not seen before.

Exporting job details relates to the admin task. This item has not already appeared in the example report.

3 · OutputOne useful next step

Check the new export option.

Could it remove a copy-and-paste step in your process? Check the fields and access before connecting it to another tool.

A person decides what happens next.

Interactive illustration using invented updates and fixed rules. It explains the approach; it is not a live feed, an AI response or a recording of the original project.

A good fit starts here

Practical ambition. Open conversation.

A business to improve. An idea to test. A repetitive task you've had enough of.

Bring the problem, even if you don't know the solution yet. We can work out a useful first step and whether STROOM is the right fit.
