About Us

Our Company

Who are we?

DataPro Solutions Ltd was established in 1998 and specialises in cost-effective software development, management of information databases, customer and employee surveys and marketing activity. We are based in Christchurch with clients throughout New Zealand and Australia.

DataPro Solutions staff have many years' experience not only in information systems but also in marketing and management. This means that we take a more business oriented approach by clarifying the exact nature of your information needs to assist in developing and managing your business.

We take the approach of providing quality management information without overwhelming clients with extra, unnecessary detail. Our focus is on producing a service to meet your exact needs, rather than on making a requirement fit the existing templates.

Our objective is “turning data into business advantage”. We achieve this by developing systems to extract valuable management information from the huge amounts of data available to most businesses.

Company values

“Helping our clients to gain valuable knowledge from their data to create business advantage”

We achieve this by developing software and managing database applications that are user friendly, reliable and focused on the individual needs of our clients.

The values that we strive to exhibit as a company include:
