The Future Net Story...

Rose, Barry, Eddie, Scott and Shannan cica 1998.

Future Net was founded in 1995 by Scott Munro and Barry Sams, who, after working for a POS hardware vendor, recognised a fundamental problem: when registers failed, the finger-pointing between hardware and software providers left retailers stuck in the middle.

Scott and Barry set out to change that by creating a business that provided a full-service solution—software, hardware, service, and support—all under one roof.

Their goal was simple: one solution, one team, one call.

Soon after, Eddie Bertinat brought his programming expertise to the team, allowing Future Net to tailor solutions for independent grocery stores like IGA, SPAR, and Foodworks, along with specialty retailers including leading butchers, bakers, and delis.

As the company grew, it recognised a need to improve POS systems for the Hospitality Industry. The Future Net team bought Michael Wyllie onboard. His extensive experience in hospitality POS systems has made the lives of hospitality workers easier, and their businesses run smoother. His applications are now industry standards used throughout Australia today.

Together, Scott, Barry, Eddie, and Michael have built a comprehensive, user-friendly POS solution that meets the diverse needs of retailers and hospitality providers alike. And had some fun along the way.

They may have a long history together, but they continue to remain Future focussed.

In 2024 Future Net was acquired by Banyan Software marking an exciting new chapter for the founders and their families.

Banyan, founded in 2016, specialises in acquiring and growing niche software businesses with a long-term vision.

Their "buy, hold, and grow for life" strategy means they are truly committed to the sustained success of Future Net, our customers, and our employees.

“We chose Banyan as the perfect home for Future Net because of their genuine long-term commitment. This partnership allows us to grow while ensuring we continue delivering the high-quality solutions and support our customers rely on.”

Just a short note of thanks in giving us a great system for our store. The change over from our previous system went without a hitch. The training given to my staff was first class with on-going follow up by your staff even after they left the store to ensure we did it right e.g.our first host order and stocktake. Already we have noticed an improvement in managing our business with your great system and not spending hours on the phone trying to get things fixed as before.
Ian and Terry | Foodworks
We have been in the independent retail industry for 13 years and never have we come across a retail systems company that provides an excellent product, great service and such a high level of support. The System is a reliable, user friendly and effective tool to managing a profitable supermarket in today’s competitive environment. The outstanding levels of support, service and training take away the many of the stresses involved in the day to day processes of our business. Compared to other products and companies Future Net’s price is extremely attractive. Future Net is definitely a viable POS solution that we would encourage any and every independent retailer to investigate, ...you won’t be disappointed.
Geoff & Lynne | IGA
I decided on Future Net Convenience Controller to manage my network of SPAR stores and it has made a big difference to the running of my business. With the reporting in Convenience I can compare sales and margins, across departments or between stores. I can’t believe that I can get so much vital information, on the same day – it means I can make better, more effective business decisions. The other great thing about Future Net is the ease of change – if I need to request a change, they are very responsive.
Lou | SPAR
We could not be happier with the system, it has made nearly everything so much easier and simpler to manage. We love being able to change all the prices on the front computer, add stock and check all dips in the system without having to dip the tanks every delivery. It is so much easier to find stock and prices.
In general we’re very very happy and satisfied. Thank you so much for having the help desk at all times – it’s a godsend. Again thank you.
Mario and Mabel | Independent
At Eumundi Meats, we pride ourselves on our customer service, and using Future Net Convenience POS helps us improve it even further. We can combine our scale and POS, and integrated EFTPOS to offer our customers a streamlined, efficient experience. We don’t have to print a sticker and send them to a separate POS to pay – it is all done in a single operation at the counter. For us, it’s also saved us money as we don’t have to double up on hardware. We would certainly recommend Future Net to other butchers/delis who want to reduce cost and focus on customer service.
Jon | Eumundi Meats
The front end POS is very reliable, I have never had any down time, rebooting or errors like I had with my previous system. If I have a problem, all it takes is one phone call to their support
and I get help within minutes. Beats sending a remote support and waiting hours or even weeks for help.
Matthew | Super IGA
The guys at Future Net are always willing to listen to anything that we think of can make their system even better. Future Net’s maintenance and backup support has always been fantastic, we have multiple contact points for knowledgeable help. I would highly recommend the Future Net solution for any retailer that is upgrading or looking at installing a complete POS system. Last month we completed our annual stock take using the wireless setup, it made a very long and arduous job much easier and quicker.
Michelle | IGA
Future Net make running my business easier. They are fully integrated and compliant with the Metcash systems like host files and scan data so I don’t have to think twice about it. It just works. I know I can always get help when I need it.
