Tye Fender: A Decade in Manufacturing, A Passion for Systems
Fender IT was founded in 2020 by Tye Fender with a clear objective: to simplify IT systems for businesses in Southeast Queensland and beyond. Tye's journey is unique, rooted in over a decade of senior management experience within the manufacturing sector. He's lived the operational realities, from the factory floor to the front office, and understands the constant "fires" businesses face.
"I've got the full perspective of what it takes to implement Microsoft Dynamics Business Central for a manufacturer... There are problems that are going to come up every day... So don't let your software start fires. It needs to be smooth sailing."
It was this hands-on experience that led Tye to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. In 2023, he personally led a full ERP rollout from scratch at his manufacturing job. This wasn't a theoretical exercise; it was a real-world implementation that cut hours of manual work and created smoother processes across the board. This experience, including a "rocky start" with other consultants, solidified his belief in setting up systems correctly from the get-go.
"I was the main person driving the whole implementation, learning everything from scratch... I fell in love with Business Central when I saw the enormous positive impact it had on the overall business."

Systems & People Working Together
Systems Run the Business, People Run the Systems
At Fender IT, we believe that for a business to truly flourish, its systems must be robust, efficient, and strategically implemented. Our philosophy is simple: "Systems run the business, and people run the systems." This means it's critically important that your systems are set up correctly and strategically, allowing your team to focus on what they do best.
We're passionate about creating systems that work and last. Systems that don't need constant maintenance, but rather empower your team and contribute directly to your bottom line. As a business owner, your role is to see the overall picture, set up for success, and put the right people in the right roles. Our role is to ensure your digital systems support that vision seamlessly.
"Your business deserves systems that empower growth, not hinder it. Let's build something that lasts."
