BQT Expands Market Coverage
BQT Solutions is now firmly established as a high profile manufacturer and supplier of leading Security Technology Solutions and the company is currently taking these products to the general market through a specialist distribution model.

During the transition from Research and Development to Sales, BQT has focussed on gaining industry credibility by partnering with the major systems integrators in high profile projects throughout Australia such as; The Defence Common Access Card, QANTAS Global Security upgrade and other international projects. BQT's product & solution offerings have proven that they are comparable with the best in the world and in various aspects been far superior.

The final requirement before implementing the distribution model has been the creation of a generic distribution package. This package allows distributors to implement and customise specific client requirements, allowing the distributor to be autonomous. The BQT distributor package has been released to the market and has already generated significant interest.

Distribution partners will have access to top class access control software and hardware including biometrics. Other product offerings will include leading edge digital video surveillance solutions that are catering for the transition from analogue to IP.

Agreements have already been signed for the Kingdom of Thailand and New Zealand. Negotiations are also in the final stages for Singapore, India and parts of Africa.

In Australia, non-exclusive distributors have been appointed in South Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland and the ACT. Distributors are being interviewed in the remaining States and appointments are imminent.

"It is very important to create a network of supply partners that can competently assist their clients in supporting our products. Potential distributors are subjected to stringent evaluation criteria before agreements are signed and that representing the BQT products adds a new dimension to the distribution partners businesses and the benefits of representing the BQT brand are endless".
