HBT National Conference, Gold Coast, April ’14 : SYM-PAC was there!

We’ve been watching the growth of the HBT group with interest for a few years now — and seeing more of our customers jump on board.

Late last year we were proud to become an HBT “Member Supplier”, which was fantastic because that meant we were able to participate in our first HBT Conference in April 2014.

Letting people know about SYM-PAC

Great to catch up with so many familiar faces at the Conference — it’s always good to see stores face to face, and show you in person the latest things we’re working on.

But even better for us was the opportunity to meet so many new people and talk to them about what we do for retailers — particularly timber & hardware stores.

YES!

There’s a retail point of sale system designed for timber & hardware stores!

Yes! The SYM-PAC system takes you from the Point of Sale counter, all the way to the Back Office — and handles goods receipting, pricing, labels, margins and stocktake and inventory along the way!

Yes! We handle timber — and other lineal metre products, square metre products, cubic metre products … and much, much more.

Most talked about on the SYM-PAC stand at the HBT Conference

So — what do you think was the most popular item of discussion at the SYM-PAC stand?

We had a huge interest from HBT member stores in:

• SYM-PAC Timber Handling  [.. see here]
• SYM-PAC’s easy — fast — reliable Point of Sale  [.. see here]
• SYM-PAC’s fully integrated General Ledger  [.. see here]

.. and so many stores were interested in our new case studies profiling four HBT members who are SYM-PAC users:

• Chris’s Timber & Hardware  [.. see here]
• O.E. Bradtke & Sons Pty Ltd  [.. see here]
• Earls Hardware  [.. see here]
• Wilsons Hardware  [.. see here]

As always, a big thank you to our case study customers!
