The Company A long history of building Industry Expertise

Sterland works with the timber, plumbing and building supplies industries to improve productivity, create cost efficiencies and grow your business so it can reach its full potential.

We’ve been actively involved in the industry for close to a century, so this means we get it. We understand all the challenges you face, from inventory and margin management, staffing, to your software requirements.

In 2019, Sterland joined the DMSi family, marking a new chapter of growth and opportunity for our organization. Learn more about DMSi at dmsi.com.

Solutions developed for the industry, by the Industry

The Sterland you know today came about due to our drive to innovate and find a better way to do things. Originally Sterland Brothers Timber Supplies, we are a wholly Australian owned and operated business.

Since then, we’ve evolved into an organization that now serves the industry creating for well over 25 years powerful and effective software tools. Frameworks represents the latest in our software evolution that builds upon the legacy of the prior Stix and ProStix solutions to delivery a functionally rich and uniquely intuitive software application for today’s business needs.

Whatever situation you’re currently facing, Sterland’s longevity and breadth of experience in the industry means we’ve encountered it.

And when you work with us, you’ll be dealing with people from your industry every step of the way who are dedicated to improving your business and helping you to find the right solution.
