For the third consecutive time, Manaccom – one of Australia’s longest established software suppliers – has beaten international software suppliers to win the national title of Software Supplier of the Year Award at the Derni Retail Conference, which featured some of Australia’s largest computer retailers

The prestigious industry award was presented to Manaccom at Hamilton Island after voting from 230 Harvey Norman, Domayne and Joyce Mayne franchisees.

The award recognises the achievements and contribution of software suppliers. Voting takes into account a range of determining factors, such as product range, shipping practices, return and exchange policy, supplier support to stores, customer support and ongoing relationships.

The award is bi-annual, being only presented every two years, making it all the more coveted by industry. Significantly, Manaccom won the same award at the previous two conferences held in 2005 and 2007.

Manaccom’s managing director Ian Mackay said he was humbled and delighted that Manaccom had picked up the award third time running, cementing its position as preferred Supplier of Choice to computer stores.

“This award is testament to the wonderful relationship developed by the hard-working Manaccom team and our retail partners over the years,” Mr Mackay said.

“It is a rock solid relationship based on mutual hard work and respect that continues to go from strength to strength,” he said.

For the first time, Manaccom was also one of three nominees for the award of Overall Supplier of the Year to the Derni group.
