About Us

Established in 2009, SAPPLY is an Australian, value-added I.T. distributor representing a niche portfolio of global technologies in the Networking, Productivity Tools and IoT spaces across the Asia Pacific region.

We’re passionate about two things; facilitating exponential growth in the region for the vendors we represent and building tailored, flexible solutions for our reseller network and end user customers.

We’re all about breaking the chains that bind our clients to single-vendor solutions. Instead, we design customised and responsive solutions by bringing together complementary products that deliver genuine cost and efficiency benefits.

Who We Work With

We represent a select portfolio of largely non-competing, global technology products ranging from open standards cloud architecture to next generation networks and IoT solutions. We support our vendors in the region by providing a local sales and technical function as well as building local demand via a range of branding and marketing initiatives. We also work with an established network of Australian and international resellers as well as end user customers. We pride ourselves on our ability to foster long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our channel partners. We offer sales support to our resellers as well as technical support to both our resellers and their end user customers to assist with building solutions and creating bills of materials.

Vendors

SAPPLY is a value-added distributor representing a niche portfolio of largely non-competing vendors looking for exponential growth in the Asia Pacific region. We have an extensive channel partner network across the region and actively promote our vendors’ products to this network through a series of seminars, workshops and other marketing initiatives. We’re proud to represent some of the most dynamic, progressive and agile solutions on today’s global I.T. stage.

Resellers

Paramount to our success at SAPPLY is the long-standing relationships we’ve established with key local, national and international resellers. We value these relationships which is why we’re committed to ensuring our reseller partners benefit from the value-add services we offer as a distributor including both sales and technical support.

End Users

Whilst SAPPLY primarily distributes via our established reseller network, if you’re a Network Manager or I.T. Manager looking for a technology outcome, we’re happy to work directly with you to tailor a cost-effective solution.

Our Locations

With offices and distribution centres in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, we act as a local presence in the region for our vendors and ensure our reseller and end user customers can rely on timely and personalised service. We carry stock and replacement parts across our three locations which means supply and warranty claims can be actioned as quickly as possible.

Our Approach

Agility

Where there are problems, we create solutions. Everyone in our business is a decision maker. Our reseller and end user customers are often jaded from years of dealing with sluggish, I.T. behemoths who are not responsive to their needs, so we make it our business to be different. We’re all about understanding our clients’ problems and tailoring solutions that deliver genuine cost and efficiency benefits.

Integrity

Regardless of the challenge or timeframe, if we agree to it, we deliver it. We’re a small and nimble team, unrestrained by the rigors of corporate inertia and we use this to our, and our customers’, advantage. Our reputation hinges on our customers knowing we can be relied upon so, if we’ve committed to an outcome, you can be confident we will deliver.

Personalised Service

SAPPLY allocates dedicated Technical Account Managers to every one of our vendor and reseller clients. A SAPPLY Account Manager becomes part of their client’s team and is considered a trusted, local source of technical support and advice. Highly knowledgeable about both local market conditions and technology trends, our Account Managers are passionate about solving problems for their clients and making it easy for them to work with us.

Responsiveness

The pace of change in I.T. is exciting and challenging in equal measure. As a small and motivated team, we’re passionate about embracing the latest technologies and are committed to remaining as adaptable as possible to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers.

Fun

All work and no play makes Neil a dull boy! Thankfully Neil is adept at incorporating a bit of fun into the way we operate at SAPPLY. Whilst our technology solutions are 100% serious, this doesn’t mean, as people, we have to be. We strive to remain as approachable and easy to work with as possible and, for us, this means enjoying what we do, constantly learning new stuff, building long-term relationships and barbecuing on Fridays!

Where We’re Going

SAPPLY continues to focus on the key verticals of health, finance, education, resources, telecommunications and Federal Government. We remain committed to bringing together synergistic packages of vendor offerings to deliver complementary solutions to these key verticals. We are excited to further expand on our fantastic record of sustained growth, particularly around Open Networking, SDN, IoT and M2M spaces, and will continue to build our product portfolio to offer end-to-end solutions for our clients.

Our Team

At SAPPLY, our success is underpinned by our dedicated and experienced team of Technical Account Managers and Sales Professionals. Often joining us from the reseller community, our team members have the technical know-how to solve problems and, at the same time, can confidently relate to people with all levels of technical understanding. Essentially, they’re geeks with personality; able to speak I.T. but also plain English. Meet some of the SAPPLY team members:

Neil

Uncle Neil, the Grand Poohbah, steers the SAPPLY ship, herds cats as a hobby and lends a guiding hand to our sales, technical and marketing gurus.

Our resident Kiwi, Paul is a legend of the New Zealand channel. He runs SAPPLY’s NZ business, indulging his passion for engines and red wine in his spare time. Paul’s days are spent traversing the North and South Islands, identifying opportunities, delivering solutions and growing the businesses of his vendor and reseller partners.
