Client Testimonials

“An absolute business guru! Would highly recommend Joel & his team. Joel has been working with our business for over 6 years now. We first met him when we were looking for a new POS system and found his advice very helpful. We started with 1 truck and have now grown into a fleet of 7 different trucks across NSW. Joel's advice and help with our POS system, credit card terminals and also our back of house inventory and accounting systems has been invaluable.”
Jeremy A.
“Joel happily helped me fix a problem with my home automation system up until all hours of the night. I'd programmed something incorrectly and he stepped me through methodically to find where the issue was. Then 5 minutes after we found the issue, he had a fix and stepped me through that. Genuinely helpful and caring. If only all IT support was as helpful as him.”
Matthew F.
“Five stars! Joel is an absolute lifesaver. His problem solving was spot-on, quickly resolving our issues. After fixing our IT issue (our mistake), he then took time out of his day to show us in a better way that was easy to understand, even for beginners. Highly recommend him for their expertise, patience, and excellent service.”
