Major Rollout Completed

An extremely busy first half of 2010 prevailed with the rollout of 37 Konvenience systems across Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Many of these were dual POS systems with a handful of triple POS systems also. Our Office resembled a Harvey Norman warehouse and for a few months we were surrounded by cardboard boxes. All components were unpacked, labelled, assembled, built, tested, repacked and shipped.

Jasbe Petroleum - BP Dealer

29 systems were purchased by Jasbe Petroleum which brings the number of their installed systems to 32 in total with more to come over the next 12 months. The rollout was a joint undertaking between staff from Jasbe Petroleum, Kreative Technology and the Metric Group. The systems were implemented at a rate of two per week in each city. On average the disruption to Site trading was kept to around 4 hours during the system cutover. All in all an extremely successful implementation through a well defined and disciplined process supported by teams of enthusiastic and capable people.

In conjunction with this rollout we also implemented the Kreative Head Office Price Book application which provides centrally administered pricing and promotions for all Sites. The Jasbe Group now has the control of all pricing, ranging and promotional decisions for their Network.

In addition to this, Kreative manage the daily (currently twice per day) movement of data between Jasbe Head Office and all Sites. This also includes the provision of data for Leighton O'Briens', and in some cases to BP Australia. In the near future (stage 2), additional information will be provided to Jasbe via new Kreative applications to support the centralized network management processes. In essence, Jasbe Petroleum are now positioned to be technology self sufficient in the management of their entire Network of Sites.

Agostino Group - BP Dealer

 8 systems were purchased by the Agostino Group in Adelaide which brings the number of their installed system to 10 in total. This undertaking was completed in the same time period as the Jasbe rollout, so all resources were fully utilized. Again, the rollout was managed in conjunction with Agostino, Metric and Kreative resources and all Sites were installed on schedule and with minimal disruption to trading.

 

 

Konvenience V2.7 under development

10 YEARS YOUNG & A NEW HOME!

 

Kreative Technology Pty Ltd celebrates 10 years of business at the end of April 2009.  Yes, we are ten years young and going strong thanks to our supportive and expanding Client base.  Our products and services are well established and have reached far beyond that critical mass required to provide momentum for our continued growth.

 Our appreciation and thanks go to our loyal customers who have given their commitment to our solutions and also to the many who have made multiple purchases for their network of locations.  A few have also chosen to incorporate our Central applications to complement their network management.   We have also enjoyed a strong and rewarding partnership with Metric Group Ltd and have continued our relationship through their various guises.  Many Clients have been satisfied with the one stop solution that this partnership delivers.

 Growth - to this end we are moving to new and exciting premises with excellent access and facilities.   We have been at the same premises for the past eight years and it has served us extremely well.  However, with the number of available rental locations we chose to take advantage of this rather than renew again. 

 We are still in Melbourne’s CBD which has provided convenience for clients and employees alike.  The new location has easy access to parking and public transport, is less “busy” and friendlier for our Couriers and Delivery vehicles.  It does mean we have to forego Hardware Lane and the many choices of Cafés and Restaurants.   Not too much of a compromise, they are still within walking distance!  

The new address is;

 KREATIVE TECHNOLOGY PTY LTD

Second Floor

Katherine Square

535 Flinders Lane

Melbourne   3000

 Our email contacts are unchanged but we do have a new telephone number.

 Main Telephone No.          03 96296099

 Fax No.                            03 96293366

 We look forward to continuing to provide you with our solutions and services into the future.
