About Us

Coherent Software Australia Pty Ltd commenced operations in 1989, creating software to help small businesses compete more efficiently. Our first product helped building estimators quickly and easily generate accurate estimates of materials requirements and costs.

Since then we have continued creating and customising software for small to medium business to help them do business more efficiently. We soon discovered that software originally created to help a business become more efficient in one specific area tended, over time, to become a core component of the business. The efficiencies introduced by the software allowed the business to take on significantly more customers with little to no increase in ongoing costs. Many of our clients state they now could not continue to support their current volume of business if the software we created for them ceased to work.

Coherent Software Australia has not limited itself to creating software for small to medium businesses. We are also creators of the popular and powerful Digger ™ searching software used on a range of Family History CD-ROMs. Our staff include Sun Certified Java 2 Programmers, and a Microsoft Certified Professional Developer. Our certified trainers (including a Microsoft Certified Trainer) have been conducting professional programming, software development and internet development courses for several of the better known training organisations in Australia for more than ten years.

We have been heavily involved in the technical aspects of the Internet since the early 1990s, creating a shopping cart ecommerce system for a major international lingerie company as early as the mid-1990s. We have helped many of our small and medium sized business clients efficiently adapt to the commercial opportunities offered by the Internet.

We contribute to the development of OFBiz by submitting patches for both bugs and new features. We also fund development by others of larger additions to OFBiz, such as the module supporting SecurePay and missing functionality for quotations.

Coherent Software Australia is currently based in Cheltenham, Victoria, Australia, a suburb in the south-east of Melbourne. Our ABN is 15 068 209 576.
