The world, as we all knew it, ended in March 2020.  Covid-19 is not going to be gone in a few weeks, or a few months.  The world is never going to be the same.  The world has changed forever.  For SME businesses the key question is now, "How do I rapidly and radically transform my business and adapt, evolve and survive in this new market environment?".  This is what we do.

Zest

Zeald pioneered early e-commerce in New Zealand, developing their own enterprise-level,ecommerce platform ZEST in the mid-2000s. Zeald's ZEST platform features both simple and advanced content management options, full-featured ecommerce solutions and, with a range of technologies, makes integration of wider digital systems possible for its clients.

This cloud-based ecommerce engine enables B2C and B2B businesses of varying size to trade online and to sell products and services over Facebook, Google and the web. Being tech-agnostic means Zeald also supports other website platforms such as WordPress and Shopify.

Our Mission

The digital landscape is an essential part of everyday life, where customers often work, connect with others, learn new information, engage with media, and shop for what they need. Businesses that have an online component have a huge opportunity to increase their sales and growth by tapping into how customers spend time online.

At Zeald, it is our mission and vision to enable SME businesses to digitally evolve and succeed, leaving a lasting positive impact in their lives as much as their businesses. Regardless of budget, size, or ability, we are here to complement the way you do business and advise you in getting better, smarter results online

Digital Cluster Initiative

A joint initiative by Zeald and Bank of New Zealand

Paul Conway (formerly BNZ) and David Kelly (Zeald) share their vision for Kiwi businesses and communities, and how a new economic development model using digital transformation and collaboration through “clustering” has the power to transform the New Zealand economy.

The Digital Cluster Initiative is an innovative, practical initiative that aims to lift productivity and wellbeing of small businesses through digital transformation of whole business networks in Aotearoa. 

The goal is business growth through ecommerce sales and digital marketplaces in domestic and export markets. Businesses will benefit by collaborating and building scale, together. 

Created in partnership by Zeald and BNZ, this initiative is part of our commitments as Digital Boost Alliance members.
