How it all began...

Acumen Computer Systems was established in 1974 and was formally known as GTC (Geelong Timesharing Centre). GTC provided on-line computer bureau accounting services and software development for specialist applications.

Our facilities ran DEC midrange and mainframe computers. GTC software was developed for a number of industry segments including Retail / Wholesale Distribution, Manufacturing and Government.

As most of our clients had branch structures GTC became proficient in developing solutions that delivered high availability in a distributed environment.

Over the years our software has been redeveloped to keep pace with and take advantage of industry trends. With our background in large corporate software development, we made the conscious decision in 1994 to write a new package developed around the Microsoft Windows platform. The end result is the Acumen Retail Solution that incorporates all the facilities we developed in our bureau business.

Acumen employees have a retail background and focus that has led to a large retail customer base. Acumen software is used extensively throughout Australia with more than five hundred systems installed. Acumen clients range from single store users to large multi site retailers needing complex distributed branch and POS systems.

Acumen builds and supports its own product for the retail-wholesale distribution industry.
