Our tools

The watching tool

Nemo monitors environmental and civic notices across Aotearoa New Zealand so you don't have to. Government agencies, councils, the NZ Gazette, legislation databases, emergency services - they all publish notices that affect communities. Plan changes, consent applications, new regulations, track closures, emergency alerts. The information is public, but it's scattered across dozens of websites, published at different times, in different formats. Keeping up with it all is a full-time job that most community groups simply can't do.

Nemo does that job. It watches the sources that matter, classifies each notice by subject, region and urgency, and routes the right information to the right people. If a new Fast-track Approval affects a river your kayaking club cares about, Nemo will tell you. If legislation changes the rules for backcountry hut access, the tramping clubs that need to know will hear about it.

This isn't a news feed - it's a structured, reliable information service designed for organisations that need to act on what they learn.

• Monitors multiple government and civic source categories daily
• Classifies every notice by source, subject, region and urgency
• Routes information through six thematic guilds to the right people
• Transparent, auditable classification - no black boxes

Community voice on the map

Official data tells part of the story. Communities tell the rest. Aronnax puts both on the same map.

Aronnax is a participatory mapping tool for community groups. It lets you design surveys, collect geolocated observations from your members, and see the results on a map alongside official data. A conservation group can map pest sightings. An accessibility organisation can map access barriers and facilities. A tramping club can record track conditions after a storm. The data stays yours - Digital Reef provides the tool, not the ownership.

We built Aronnax to work offline first. Many of the places where community data collection matters most - backcountry tracks, remote coastlines, rural communities - don't have reliable internet. With Aronnax, your team can collect data in the field without a connection. When they're back online, everything syncs automatically.

• Survey builder with structured data collection and validation rules
• Offline-first - collect data without internet, sync when back online
• Photo, GPS and polygon capture in the field
• AI-assisted survey generation - describe what you need, get a draft form

How they work together

Nemo watches. The GIS Platform shows. Aronnax listens. EmergencyNet routes.

Our tools are not isolated products. They are parts of a connected system, each serving a different role in the same mission: ensuring community groups have the information they need about the places they care about.

Nemo monitors government agencies, legislation databases and emergency services. When something new appears, it classifies the notice and passes it along. The GIS Platform takes what Nemo finds and places it on the map, so you can see the spatial picture of what's happening in your region. Aronnax collects community observations and places them on the same map as official data, so both perspectives sit side by side.

The guild model ties it all together. Our six guilds - Airspace, Landspace, Waterspace, Accessibility, Emergency Response and Conservation - act as the organising principle across every tool. A tramping club hears about track closures and access changes, not aquaculture consents. A conservation trust hears about biodiversity decisions, not aviation notices. And when something goes wrong in the backcountry, EmergencyNet provides the routing network that connects incident locations to help. The right information reaches the right people, every time.
