Provida Sign Significant New Client in Brisbane

In November 2010, one of Australia’s largest locally-owned cafe groups, The Coffee Club, celebrated 21 years of Good Food, Great Service and Excellent Coffee.From a single store, which opened in November 1989 at Brisbane’s Eagle Street Pier, to more than 230 outlets throughout Australia and another 30 in New Zealand, 5 in Thailand, 1 in New Caledonia and 1 in China, The Coffee Club has established itself as an iconic household name and preferred venue for millions of coffee drinkers throughout the Asia Pacific region.

The Coffee Club is a long standing Sage Accpac ERP user and was looking for a strong Brisbane based Sage ERP support provider with the backing of a solid team of skilled professionals. Accordingly they selected Provida as their support company. Straightaway Provida set to work improving the financial reporting software.

The Coffee Club’s immediate feedback was positive. The company’s Financial Controller said: “Thanks to Provida, and Parvin in particular, we were able to get our Management reports out on-time last night! We are looking forward to working with your team in getting Sage Accpac better suited to our growing business needs.”
