Forster has a busy mix of retail, hospitality, real estate, trades and tourism. We look after the computers, networks, phones and websites for local businesses, including the website for Forster Entertainment Centre.
Venues and accommodation need guest WiFi that holds up in peak season, cameras that cover the property and phones that never miss a booking. We set it up and stay on call to look after it.

Local work in Forster
A few of the Forster businesses and clubs we look after, and what changed for them.
Managed ITMulti-site VPNStarlinkEnterprise EthernetAV and signageCustom software
Technology partner since the start, and a proud community sponsor.
The challenge. Two championship courses, Forster and Tuncurry, on separate sites, with point of sale, pro shop bookings, gaming and dining at both. That needs resilient connections, modern phones and hospitality AV that just works.
What we did
Secure IPsec VPN links joining point of sale and operations between the Forster and Tuncurry clubhouses.
Enterprise Ethernet for dedicated, low-latency internet at Forster, with Starlink at Tuncurry for fast backup.
Long-range point-to-point wireless links and upgraded enterprise WiFi across the courses, clubhouses and maintenance sheds.
A cloud phone system across every department, pro shop, office and venue at both sites.
Custom digital honours boards, museum display software and purpose-built weatherproof cabinets for outdoor screens.
Upgraded multi-zone PA systems at both venues and RF modulator networks for HD digital signage.
Online forms, club branding from logos to email signatures, and the club's websites.
Full managed IT: help desk, hardware supply, server maintenance and proactive network monitoring, with our team on call 24/7 to suit the club's long trading hours.
One connected technology setup across both clubs: uninterrupted trading, easy communication between Forster and Tuncurry, and a better experience for members and visitors.
Hospitality ITGaming serversCCTVAV and projectorsWebsites
Technology partner for over 7 years, and a proud community sponsor.
The challenge. Busy, high-traffic venues across Forster Bowling Club, Forster Entertainment Centre, The Palms Motel and Strand Bar & Grill, where gaming, point of sale, member check-in, guest WiFi and security cameras all have to stay up, and an experienced local IT partner has to be on call 24/7.
Cloud migrationManaged ITMulti-site phonesBusiness internet
The challenge. The Forster accountants and advisers needed to work hand in hand with the main team in Taree, without relying on on-site servers or losing time on the phones.
What we did
Moved their accounting software and client files from old hardware to Microsoft Azure, for better compliance and secure access from anywhere.
Cloud phones that let Forster staff transfer client calls to Taree at no call cost.
Fast business-grade internet so cloud apps and client meetings run without lag.
Telecommunications bills cut by 50 per cent, and a modern cloud setup that lets Forster and Taree work as one team.
Retail phonesMulti-site phonesBusiness internetIT support
The challenge. The Forster store needed to reach the Taree and Wingham stores and the central warehouse instantly, without phone bottlenecks or stock systems falling out of sync.
What we did
Brought the Forster store into a four-site cloud phone network, with one-button transfers and quick stock checks.
Commercial-grade internet to keep the registers and stock software in sync in real time.
Fast on-site and remote help for store computers, barcode scanners and hardware.
A store floor that stays up, quicker stock checks for Forster shoppers and phones tied straight into the regional warehouse.
