Q: Have you faced the challenge of connecting your system with other software, or is it something you have overcome?
Whittaker says customers increasingly want information in one platform rather than across separate apps. Tabula combines data collection with job management and other operational functions, allowing information to be collected once and used in multiple ways.
News Wrap | Council cleared after Tairāwhiti land-use probe
Q: Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't there another report or a process going on with Doug Leder at the top?
Rennie says Doug Leder is facilitating discussions among the parties and reviewing how their relationship could work more effectively. Leder aimed to produce tangible results by Christmas.
News Wrap | Council cleared after Tairāwhiti land-use probe
Q: The ongoing saga of the Gisborne forestry situation. Of course, we had the council trying to sort land use out. We had the government waiting in saying, you're being mean. And so there's a report.
Richard Rennie explains that the report commissioned by Gisborne District Council largely cleared it of claims that it was anti-forestry. It found the council generally acted within its responsibilities, while also identifying a need for stronger expert advice and improved communication.

Q: How are store lamb values holding, and what should farmers consider when deciding when to sell?
Alex Coddington says prices remain strong but are already easing, with a sharp correction possible if many sellers enter the market together. Farmers should monitor market data, supply and finishing prices when planning sales.
