1998
Operations & Data

Every licensed venue in the Tatts network given a PHP-generated microsite with automated photography asset management. No manual page creation. 317 sites, one build.
Late 1980s to 2002
Business Systems
Oakford Advertising — FileMaker business management system
Full business management platform built in-house for an advertising agency. Replaced manual operations across traffic, jobs, billing, and production. In use for over a decade.
2008 to 2012
Email Infrastructure
Esplanade Hotel — bulk email for 40,000 subscribers

2012 to 2013
E-Commerce & POS
BePoz Web Store — direct to POS before Uber Eats
First direct-to-POS online ordering system in the Australian market. Orders placed online landed directly in the POS system with no manual intervention. $300,000 in revenue in year one.
Circa 2010
Data & Direct Marketing
Auction house — data aggregation and direct mail campaign
Aggregated property and buyer data from multiple sources, cleaned and cross-referenced, then used to drive a targeted direct mail campaign. High-volume, high-precision.
2006
Business Strategy

Current
Venue Intelligence
