About Us

ZIV was founded by Yuri and Eddie, seasoned technology advisors passionate about helping farmers harness the power of technology. Recognising a gap in independent, tailored consultation services, they established ZIV to guide farmers in selecting and implementing technology solutions that truly fit their needs.

What We Do

  • Consultation First: We start by understanding your farm's unique challenges and goals. Our independent stance means we're not tied to specific manufacturers, allowing us to recommend the best solutions for you.

  • Implementation: After identifying the right technology, we assist with implementation, ensuring seamless integration with your farm operations.

  • Optimisation: Already have technology in place? We can help you optimise existing systems to maximise performance and ROI.

Our Commitment

We aim to build long-term, trusting relationships with farmers. By providing personalised advice and ongoing support, we're dedicated to helping you grow your farm through intelligent technology.

Who we are

Hi, I’m Yuri Abramson, is an Information Technology Solutions consultant based in Christchurch, with a deep passion for creating impactful solutions tailored to New Zealand's unique needs, particularly in agriculture and construction. My journey has always been about finding smarter ways to solve complex problems, from designing customized tech solutions to guiding clients through seamless technology adoption.

With years of experience working alongside international suppliers and leading large-scale projects, I bring a global perspective that helps me think outside the box. I’m committed to delivering solutions that genuinely improve efficiency and empower people to leverage technology in meaningful ways. My approach is hands-on and collaborative—whether it’s through one-on-one consultations or full-scale project implementations, I work closely with each client to ensure that the technology fits their vision and goals.

Outside of work, I’m an avid explorer, always up for discovering New Zealand’s natural landscapes with my family. Technology and innovation are my core, and I love diving into the latest advancements, always looking for ways to bring fresh, forward-thinking ideas to life.
