Sterlands

Solutions developed for the industry, by the industry

DMSi’s journey in Australia-New Zealand began with Sterland Brothers Timber Supplies, a company serving the building trades for over a century. 

In the 1980s, Sterland Brothers commissioned a specialised ERP to support their unique processes, enabling better service to more customers in less time. When other suppliers wanted to purchase this system, Sterland Computing was born. Sterland quickly became the leading software partner for trade suppliers in the region with solutions like Stix, ProStix, and Frameworks. 

In 2018, a chance meeting brought Sterland together with DMSi Software, another independent company focused exclusively on trade suppliers. DMSi was impressed with Frameworks, and both companies recognised the potential for the ERP in the American market. 

Inspired by common values and a shared vision for the future, the companies decided to join forces as one organisation, DMSi. 

Today, DMSi is focused on improving customer success and expanding market share across Australia-New Zealand and the US. With a solid foundation and the strength of a unified team, the future is bright for Frameworks users worldwide. 

"As an HBT member we looked to purchase a business management solution that met the specific needs of the building supplies industry but was also a single integrated application to meet all our software needs. These guys know our industry and have built an application to deliver to our market."

Brendan Kent, CEO, Kents Building Supplies

"Natbuild, both through our head office and members, have enjoyed a strong and supportive relationship with Sterland [now DMSi] for over 22 years. Their ERP platform has remained one of the major ‘go-to’ solutions in our Industry and is widely used by our Members, being the number one application used by Members of our group."

"Western ITM has been a Sterland [now DMSi] customer for over 20 years and we are now embarking on the migration of our business to the Frameworks solution. Frameworks delivers efficiencies for our teams with easy access to information and the ability to complete processes productively."

"For the past 12 years Sterland [now DMSi]'s software has allowed me to streamline operations and keep my finger on the pulse of my business. ProStix and Frameworks have been an integral part of Fitzpatrick’s success."

"There are many functional and architectural aspects of Frameworks that meets our needs, from a single centralised database allowing access across all data at all times; through to its user interface design that simplifies transactional processing."

"The Frameworks team were customer focused and thorough in reviewing our business requirements and procedures. They professionally managed our implementation to ensure our team were trained, our data was ready for migration and back-end systems were ready for a smooth cut-over."

Scott Van Eck, CEO, Gordon Macdonald Pty Ltd

"Dahlsens have been using Sterland [now DMSi] applications for over 20 years and their latest version takes this to the next level. Frameworks is not only intuitive to use but makes the data critical to my business easy to access when and how we need it."

"Frameworks was chosen as it offered superior inventory management and sales processing facilities to run our store operations. Frameworks allows us to focus on the running of our operation and to maximise business profitability. Sterland [now DMSi] offers us their experience in the building supplies industry to help us along our journey."
