Product ownership. Shared ambition.
Products we believe in. Ventures we share.
We are an Auckland-based product and venture business, building software through ownership and shared business interests.
Where our story began.
Founded in Auckland to address a need for better information systems in mental health.
Today, our work spans mental health, financial services, business applications, data transformation and secure delivery.
Build products. Grow businesses.
MH Interactive develops products and ventures we own or part-own. We combine software engineering with business understanding and a long-term interest in the products we build.
Our experience includes clinical platforms and telehealth, PPSR systems, insurance administration, integration, databases, CRM and business management.
A stake in the outcome
Our technical and commercial work is focused on our product portfolio and shared ventures. We are always open to exploring business opportunities with people who bring complementary expertise and an interest in shared ownership.
We license our products to customers and provide project-based software development, product enhancements and integrations for those customers. Our engineering work supports our own platforms and shared ventures, with Microsoft Azure as our preferred cloud platform. We do not offer standalone contract software development.
AI grounded in business information
Alongside our established platforms, we are developing a research prototype for retrieving information from documents and querying structured business data with AI. We are exploring a future context and evidence product for business AI agents, while Xaventa Transform includes optional AI-assisted header mapping. Explore our AI development and emerging product ideas.
A history of specialist work
Dynamic Health® grew out of our work in mental health services. Our wider portfolio includes PPSR Cloud and the new Xaventa family of products—Apply, Transform, Send and Gather, currently in closed beta—alongside ongoing support for the Equifax-owned ESIS system.
We also carry experience from previous projects, including e-CHAT and the discontinued FileBus® and FileChimp ventures. Explore our product portfolio and history.
