GBAFC & RARE
GAME ON!

Whose Rare?
Golden Digital Outcomes In. Gouge Out.
Welcome to Rare Innovation — the Tasman District’s hottest new tech provider with national reach, family, professional and enterprise-grade capability, and a completely different kind of spark.
​
Supported by special tech partnerships, access and a great network ourselves, we’re not here to sling gadgets or lock you into support contracts. We also don’t clip the ticket or bounce you between faceless providers. We’re here to create and support great outcomes. Whether it’s a student or player getting their first quality laptop, a traddie grabbing gear that lasts, or a local business finally receiving tech and systems that just work — Rare is built to enable real people with real tools, minus the typical gouge.
​
That’s why we say - Digital outcomes in, Gouge out.
We go deep — well beyond access to brilliant tech or devices — into the digital backbone of modern work. That means Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Teams, SharePoint and AI brought to life to streamline general practice or through to business processes, kill off clunky legacy platforms, automate smart, go secure by design, and unlock the real power of people. Most steer clear of that complexity — we embrace it.
And while we’re remodelling learning experiences, or our professionals, home or back-office workflows, we’re also helping firms reimagine their customer experience — with sleek websites and mobile tools that sync with everything behind the scenes. Thus - from bookings and payments to forms and data, we make it all work together. No silos. No tech debt. Just clean, modern, scalable enablement.
We don’t upsell. We upskill.
In that - Rare has access to a stunning range of premium-grade tech — the same trusted by learners, professionals, workforces, creative pros and global enterprises. That being - it's all HP Premium grade - and for a reason. But we’ve gutted the middleman markup. We pass on national-level access and enablement pricing to families, sole traders, schools, and professionals alike — because in a de-globalising world, our region’s future depends on outcomes, not vendor lock-ins.
From laptops to rugged tablets, productivity monitors, power kits, docks, top-grade HPE/Aruba network gear and getting that home, office and or remote-working setups — the range is deep, real, and ready, yet all geared by understanding the user-experience and or functional-experience you need to succeed - and we help you to do so in the process. And it all runs on heart.
​​
....our R365 Support and enablement Package isn’t just support — it’s on-hand, remote and in-situ, digital guidance (or Digital Guru'ness) with a soul - all to support a complete wrap-around system-security and management approach.
​
We also help families organise school life, photos, and budgets. We help sole traders with invoicing, job tracking, and simple automation packages. We help professionals secure their work, sync their digital life, and optimise tools they already own. You don’t need to be tech-savvy — that’s our job.
People first. Always.
Rare was built to ensure no one’s left behind due to poor advice, overcharging, or fear of change. That’s why we created www.rare-i.nz — a platform where anyone can access powerful tech, real support, and confident outcomes.
Why Golden Bay AFC?
Because Rare is about connection — people, futures, and purpose. Supporting Football in Schools and GBAFC's development and goals isn’t a checkbox for us — it’s part of our DNA. Every Rare GBFC-aligned device sold, Rare economically and demonstrably supports grassroots sport, learning, and local jobs. That’s not sales. That’s our community intelligence and ethic.
​
So, if you're a club member, player, an affiliated traddie, parent, creative, or professional tired of the status quo — welcome.
