GOFINDER® - Affordable GPS Locators

Lost a truck lately? Want to know where that errant delivery driver is? Need to locate plant and equipment? Well have a look at GOFINDER®!

New Technology marketed under the GOFINDER® label is revolutionising tracking for fleet owners at a fraction of the cost of other solutions.

Entrepreneur Graham Thomas has launched a suite of products designed to help Australian business owners 'unlock the secrets' of their organisations. The GOFINDER® product offerings include vehicle based units which can be tracked on a fleet manager's PC. The latest GPS technology is also used to generate position reports, detailed travel histories and the high end systems can even document the time a vehicle is parked or idle. Just think - No long lunch hours on company time or dodgy vehicle log books! All GOFINDER® units come with a simple to use management interface.

At Quadtech we have worked closely with Graham Thomas throughout the entire GOFINDER® launch and have enjoyed every moment of it! The products are good, the market is ready for them and the guy driving the initiative has enormous energy and commitment. (Not to mention an acerbic wit best left alone by the faint hearted!)

Brownlies Grain Trading

Its not often that a young man, still at university, walks through our office doors with a fist full of hard earned dollars and an entrepreneurial drive big enough to make the Donald Trump's of this world take note. It happened recently...

Adam Brownlie is a young cotton and grain farmer from Millmerran in the heart of Queensland's fertile Darling Downs. He has just completed a degree at the Gatton campus of the University of Queensland and is currently doing his Masters through the same institution. While travelling in the USA a few years ago Adam hit on the idea of setting up an on-line grain trading operation. After careful planning and months of market research Adam came to Quadtech to flesh out his plans.

He required a sophisticated data base driven website which would allow those with grain for sale to list their products on line. At the same time registered buyers could log in, peruse grain listings by commodity, location and grade. If they liked what they saw they could enter into negotiations with the seller, and close the deal - all on-line! Quadtech developers worked closely on this one with corporate partner AVG Computing to arrive at a highly effective site with more background 'smarts' than the last Apollo mission. *
