OUR STORY

Our Story

Since 2006, Tender Software has been at the forefront of high-quality outsourced IT solutions, empowering businesses to achieve their digital ambitions. Initially established as the IT division of Tender Center, a “brick-and-mortar” Australian retail chain, Tender Software began its journey in 2006 when the Tender Center CEO personally traveled to India to recruit a skilled IT team to integrate and maintain the company’s CRM and point-of-sale systems. Recognizing the demand for affordable, high-quality IT development services among small and midsized businesses, we rapidly expanded our services. Over time, the IT arm of the business outgrew the retail operations, transforming into the international software development business it is today. Since 2006, we have built an experienced software development team in India, supported by U.S.-based leadership and client service teams in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. Tender Software remains committed to delivering exceptional IT services, tailored to meet the evolving needs of businesses worldwide.
