TORO is an ancient East Coast Māori term for the scouting party that goes ahead of the war party and forges a new path forward.
At the heart of our mission, we're all about simplifying the complex world of technology for your business. Our expertise is twofold: First, we craft bespoke software solutions designed to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and fuel your growth. Second, we guide you through the maze of third-party software options, ensuring you select and procure the solutions that best match your unique needs.
TORO, inspired by East Coast Māori heritage, symbolises a scouting party, blending the spirit of exploration with the warmth of welcome, much like the adventurous voyages of Māori and Polynesian waka (canoes). This name embodies our innovative drive and bold approach in creating solutions that pioneer new paths and foster collaboration, mirroring our dedication to navigating the unexplored with our customers.
TORO is proudly based out of Tūranganui-a-Kiwa (Gisborne), situated on the picturesque East Coast of New Zealand's North Island. Our core mission is to open doors for young Māori tech aspirants, enabling them to engage with and excel in global technology opportunities.
Whether you're looking to revolutionise your processes with custom software or find the perfect external tools to elevate your operations, Toro Technology is your trusted partner in navigating the digital landscape.
