    Freddy Hopkins

    Founder

    LinkedIn

    Freddy comes from a mixed background across the business world. He starts every project by getting inside how the business actually runs, then maps a custom system around that. Three years of building applications have shaped a fast, safe way to deliver software people use day to day. He dislikes subscriptions that never quite fit: there is no better time to own your own tech stack. Outside work he is usually playing golf, tennis or fencing.

    Sam works across the build and the day to day running of FIELDPORTER. He builds custom platforms and AI integrations that automate workflows and fix operational problems, and he keeps client work moving. He is completing an International Management degree at EDHEC Business School and pairs it with hands-on product development. His focus is practical, reliable software that people actually use.

    Peter is a founder advisor based in New Zealand. He spent two decades in technology and banking across Asia-Pacific, including senior roles at Intel and HSBC. He brings an outside view to FIELDPORTER client work and to how the company is run. He helps pressure-test the commercial side of a build: what is worth doing, what to leave, and how to keep the work sound.

How we work

FIELDPORTER is led by Freddy Hopkins and Sam Allais. We design and build custom software, then hand it over so you own it. You work with us directly.

FIELDPORTER LIMITED has been a registered New Zealand company since 2003. Freddy reactivated it in 2025 to build custom software. We are based in Auckland and take on projects across New Zealand and Australia.

  • Strategy and architecture led in house.
  • We build the system your team actually uses.
  • Handover and training included in every engagement.
  • AI is added when it helps, not as the pitch.

Our Process

01

Strategic Research

AI-powered research delivers market and competitor analysis in days, not weeks. We synthesize findings into actionable recommendations so you can decide faster.

02

Rapid Implementation

Production-ready systems validate your concept quickly. You get working software plus training so your team can run or extend it.

Implementation & Optimization

Deployed solutions are monitored and tuned against real usage. Optimization focuses on measurable outcomes: time saved, errors reduced, decisions improved.

AI Training & Implementation

Training is tied to the systems we deliver so your team gets practical, outcome-focused capability.
