Tauranga tech companies are exploiting time-zone differences to provide 24-hour service and extremely fast turnaround to their international clients.
The following-the-sun business model sees Tauranga workers take over the workflow from their European colleagues in the morning and hand it back to them in the evening, providing a seamless 24-hour service for their clients around the world.
For the past seven years, Phil Waylen, business development manager with Right Aligned, has been working while his colleagues in Europe sleep.
The company provides an outsourced service to businesses wanting high-quality presentations and design work done quickly. Preparing top-class Powerpoint presentations is the company's bread and butter. However, graphic design and web design services have recently been added to the mix.
The service is typically used by executive search companies in the UK and US which require flashy presentations but do not have the time or expertise to prepare them themselves.
