Today is POS Solutions' official 41st birthday. I bought it 41 years ago, planning to revolutionise the point-of-sale industry from some guys who could not make it work on September 8, 1983. I remember it well—a young guy with big plans who thought he was so clever; I had a partner, and we both had the arrogance of youth. Our only business plan was that if others could sell Business Software, so could we and since we both knew Point of Sale, having grown up in our parent's shops and considering ourselves terrific programmers. We started in a small serviced office in St Kilda; when he dropped out, I moved the company to my bedroom. This became my office.
Slowly, POS Solutions became a leading POS software provider for businesses across Australia and New Zealand. Soon, I took on another partner, Zac, a computer engineer. Our steady growth and commitment to excellence have made us.
Our Winning Formula
Our success over these 41 years can be attributed to two core principles:
-
Product Excellence: We have always invested in R&D and product development, maintaining a larger team of developers than our competitors. Our edge has always been our software.
-
Customer-Centric Approach: From day one, we've prioritised exceptional customer service. There is a saying, "You can get whatever you want if you give people what they want." We knew their success would be our success.
Happy birthday to us!
Forty-one years of POS Solutions. From the failing software business, I brought but somehow we made it work somehow, so now we went from my bedroom to a boardroom. That's something! Thanks to everyone who's been part of this wild ride. Customers, staff, partners, readers here - you're all legends.
Here's to many more years of trying to stay ahead in this crazy tech world!
