FoodFirst An ERP you can actually run your company on.
Cognit is an all-in-one business system. It replaces the tangle of separate tools most businesses limp along on — a website here, stock in a spreadsheet, accounting somewhere else — with one connected platform.
Your customers order from a built-in online store. Those orders flow straight into inventory, invoicing and a real general ledger — automatically. You see your whole business, in real time, in one login.
One login. Every part of your business.
Each module is fully built and ready — switch on what you need.

Five systems, none talking
- ✕ Re-keying the same order into 3 places
- ✕ Website stock that's always slightly wrong
- ✕ Month-end spent reconciling spreadsheets
- ✕ Rebates and claim-backs quietly lost
- ✕ Paying for 5 subscriptions that don't fit
One system, working as one
- ✓ Enter an order once — it's everywhere
- ✓ Live, accurate stock the store can't oversell
- ✓ Books that post themselves as you trade
- ✓ Rebates calculated and claimed automatically
- ✓ One platform, one price, built to fit
AI that does the busywork.
Cognit doesn't just store your data — it works it. Reorder suggestions before you run out. Rebates that calculate themselves. Invoices that post automatically. The repetitive jobs just… happen.
Runs on its own.
Connects to what you run.
Cognit is a complete system on its own. Xero is built in — connect it in about 30 seconds and your invoices flow across automatically. Anything else below we build as part of your project: connecting systems that were never meant to talk is what Zeabyte has done for New Zealand distributors for over a decade.

Infusion Built into Cognit today: Xero. Everything else above is an integration we build for you — tell us what you run and we'll say straight away whether it's ready or a build.
Everything it does. Nothing it doesn't.
We publish what the system does today, what we're still building, and what it doesn't do at all. What you pay depends on what you actually need running — so we scope it with you rather than selling a package. Setup, data migration, training and NZ support included.

Questions, answered
What is Cognit? +
Cognit is an all-in-one cloud ERP system that runs your entire business from one place — sales orders, a built-in B2B e-commerce online store, inventory and warehouse management, purchasing, accounting and general ledger, invoicing, supplier rebates and full business reporting. Instead of paying for and stitching together separate systems for your website, stock, accounts and reporting, you run everything on Cognit.
Does Cognit include an online store? +
Yes. A complete B2B e-commerce storefront is built into Cognit — not a bolt-on plugin. Your customers log in to a branded online store, see their own pricing, reorder from saved pantries, and place orders 24/7. Because the store is part of the ERP, stock levels and prices are always accurate and orders flow straight through to invoicing and the ledger.
Can Cognit replace my current accounting or ERP system? +
Yes. Cognit has a real general ledger underneath everything — chart of accounts, journals, trial balance, balance sheet and automatic GL posting — so it can run your accounts on its own. You can use Cognit to replace a patchwork of separate systems. And if you'd rather keep Xero, it's built in — your invoices and credit notes are sent across automatically. Running a different accounting package? We build that connection as part of your project.
Does Cognit integrate with Xero? +
Yes. Cognit has built-in Xero integration — connect it in about 30 seconds and your invoices, credit notes, customers and products are sent to Xero automatically. Xero is the integration that ships with Cognit today. Anything else with an API or a data feed we build as part of your project — that's Zeabyte's core business.
Who is Cognit for? +
Cognit is built for wholesalers, distributors, importers and product-based businesses that take orders, hold stock and want their website, inventory and accounts working as one system. It is live with its first food-distribution client in New Zealand, and built on the decade Zeabyte has spent building distribution software for New Zealand businesses.
How much does Cognit cost? +
There's no price list, because there's no one-size package. What you pay depends on how much of the system you run, how much of your data we migrate, and whether we're building anything specific for your business — a two-branch importer and a single-site foodservice wholesaler need very different things. Tell us how you operate and we'll put a real figure in front of you early, rather than a starting-from number that changes once we understand you. See /pricing for exactly what the system does today and what we're still building.
