About us

It's no coincidence that most clients from our early days are still working with us!

Practical Business Support is committed to helping our clients improve their business performance through identifying and implementing affordable IT software and service solutions. Since our inception in 1991, we have saved our clients literally hundreds of thousands of dollars by providing greater data accuracy, thereby facilitating better business analysis.

Our flagship product – Intellidata – is a unique business intelligence system which we have designed and developed ourselves. Intellidata is an inexpensive, simple to use business intelligence system which is compatible with most database interfaces. Intellidata offers regular structured reporting to assist you in day to day management of your business. Imagine being able to significantly improve your company profits, simply by improving your business information!

Practical Business Support is a Brisbane based company, founded by Tony Beresford-Smith. Our in depth understanding of supply chain issues has enabled us to develop a range of customised solutions revolving around logistics, sales analysis, forecasting and supply chain management. These solutions are integrated with contemporary e-commerce and internet networking technologies.

Working with some of Australia’s largest corporations, our client list includes companies in retail, manufacturing, primary production, financial services, transport, distribution, packaging, printing, quarrying, and timber industries. This broad base has enabled us to gain a sound understanding of the technology issues facing businesses today, both locally and overseas.

By working closely with our clients to understand their specific business needs, Practical Business Support strives to bring technology and information to bear in the management process. Sometimes this requires training in business issues and/ or technology, and sometimes it requires computer programs that deliver accurate information in a timely manner.

We strongly believe that people are the key resource for the successful adoption of any IT system, and that technology solutions should remain sensitive to human needs and issues. With this in mind, we have developed Intellidata - an innovative Business to Business transaction platform for the SME market – offering an ideal data communication solution for our customers by combining simple technology with a comprehensive implementation process. The result is a system which is flexible, highly accessible, affordable and easy to use.

With our unique blend of technological intelligence, practical experience, business savvy, and enthusiasm for our clients needs, Practical Business Support will continue to provide our clients with services and technology designed to help them get the absolute best from their business systems.

So now you know our history, let us help make your future!
