What Friday Solutions does

Friday Solutions Ltd is a privately-owned New Zealand systems integrator and technology consultancy headquartered in Auckland. Founded in 2010 (with partnership activity from 2012), the firm employs 11–50 people and operates exclusively within New Zealand, delivering Digital Integration, Data & Analytics, ESG Reporting, and Application Development services to enterprise and central government clients across insurance, banking & finance, telecommunications, health, construction, and manufacturing verticals. Its core offering is multi-vendor professional services — projects, consulting, capability augmentation, and 24/7 managed services — rather than a unified proprietary product.

The company's technology stack is centred on Oracle (Gold Partner status, the only NZ-based Oracle APEX Consulting Company, with documented firsts in NZ for Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, Oracle Digital Assistant, and OBIEE/ODI-to-Oracle Analytics Cloud migration), augmented by IBM (Integration & BPM), AWS, Snowflake, Tableau, WhereScape Red, Software AG, MuleSoft, and BizTalk. Service lines include middleware and digital integration, data engineering and visualisation, ESG reporting frameworks, low-code application development via Oracle APEX, and managed DBA/PL-SQL support.

Friday Solutions generates revenue through professional services engagements with corporates and central government organisations, with no publicly disclosed pricing, project size, or revenue mix. The firm is founder-led by Director & Founder Robert Lilley, has no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity, and relies on partner-ecosystem marketing and direct enterprise engagement as its go-to-market channels. The only publicly named customer is Heineken (Urban Polo / Oracle Digital Assistant engagement); no revenue concentration, customer count, or financial KPIs are disclosed.
