On Air with Rod Hall | The CIO Studio Podcast

In this episode of The CIO Studio Podcast, CIO Studio’s Ray Delany sits down with Rod Hall, founder of Tranzsoft and long-time innovator in supply chain digitisation and primary care procurement.

---

Rod shares the story behind Tranzsoft’s evolution from an early data-exchange pioneer to a modern SaaS platform that supports some of New Zealand’s most complex health and public sector supply chains. He talks through two decades of lessons in automation, interoperability and AI, and reinforces why the most effective technology starts with understanding process and people.

Ray and Rod also explore Rod’s passion project, Primely. Primely is a national collaborative purchasing and procurement platform designed to give primary care a smarter, more efficient and more equitable way to buy. Rod explains its origins, the growing sector demand behind it, and how a unified procurement system can ease workload pressures, improve pricing consistency and surface powerful data insights for primary care across Aotearoa.

This episode is a practical look at innovation that serves people first. Rod shares a clear view of how digital tools can do the heavy lifting, support the workforce and create measurable benefits while keeping the human element at the centre.
