About Us

Andrew Hill and Andre Renaud began the Treshna IT business in 1997 while students at Canterbury University. Andrew continues to head the business as Managing Director and in 2009 the company moved into its current premises at 267 Madras Street, to better accommodate the growing staff team.

Treshna began by providing IT support to clients. From this it was seen that there was a need for specific software programmes that more effectively met client requirements. Software packages that arose from this included:

• PayMaster
  A full payroll system including complete wage cost analysis.
• Reserve-it
  An accommodation package for the hospitality industry including web bookings which was also sold to other clients.
• BakeryMaster
  Written for a specific client, it generated interest in NZ and overseas but because each application had different specifications it was decided to not market this to other bakeries.
• Gym Master
  Written for a large membership based organisation it became evident that there was considerable potential for marketing the software to other gyms and organisations. The decision was made to concentrate on the further development, marketing and support of GymMaster rather than continuing with the development of the other packages. Sales have continued to grow both in NZ and overseas.

Treshna has also developed an IT support relationship with a considerable number of clients and is concentrating on the small to medium sized organisations. Our aim is to provide excellent value and service to clients and this flows from our knowledge of their operational needs, their software and hardware, together with the technical skills and experience of our staff team. This enables us to quickly analyse and solve problems, to be proactive in recommending hardware and software solutions before they become problems, and the total design of software packages and web applications to give better control of operations and management information. Hardware can be supplied when required.

We are becoming selective in our choice of clients to relationships where we are confident we can add value and can develop a partnership that is conducive to achieving positive solutions.

Early in our development we became active in Open Source software including involvement in international development teams for programmes. We have seen the benefit of capable people working together to improve software systems, sharing the outcome and enabling cheaper access.
