More Than Merch: How SBS Merch Backs Australian Software Innovation
Behind every brand people recognise, there's someone who helped build that recognition. That's the role we play, so our partners can focus on the work they do best and let their brand carry itself into every room they walk into.
Bringing your brand to life
Uniforms, teamwear, event merch and client gifting that make your brand show up on the ground.
Saving you time and money
Sits behind the scenes, running quoting, jobs, scheduling and invoicing in one connected system.
One shared goal: giving you time to do the work you know.
A partnership that goes both ways
One of the businesses we're proud to have partnered with for the last year or so is a Sydney-based platform called meMate. We've been working with their team since early last year, kitting them out with branded apparel that's gone straight into how they show up day to day.
Over the past year we've produced their own branded merch, as well as merch required by various meMate clients too! Along the way, we've been connecting them with clients who needed exactly the kind of platform meMate has built. It's turned into a genuinely uplifting partnership, sharing resources and emerging business support with those who need it.
What makes meMate good to work with is the same thing that makes them a good software company: they know their brand, and they know how to get business done quickly and efficiently.
A rising force in Australian business software
If you work in field services, cleaning, repair, construction, design or any trade-based industry in Australia, chances are you've already come across meMate.
It's an Australian-built business management platform, made specifically for small and medium-sized businesses. Quoting, job management, task scheduling, invoicing and team coordination: all in one connected system, instead of the usual patchwork of spreadsheets, emails, WhatsApps and whatever tool happened to be free at the time.
Cleaning
Keeping on top of recurring contracts without the spreadsheet juggling.
Boat dealerships
Running sales, servicing and parts through one platform.
Construction
Quoting properly and managing jobs across multiple teams, no paperwork chasing.
Design & trades
Visibility across every job, without enterprise-level software.
If you run a real business doing real work, this was built with you in mind.
Homegrown software, built by people who know the work
Australia's software industry is growing fast, and more of the tools local businesses use day to day are being built right here, by people who understand local compliance and what it's like running a business in this country. meMate is part of that.
Founded and based in Australia, the platform has been built by a team that's worked inside the industries it now serves, and that's where it makes the difference.
As Australia's software sector matures, meMate is exactly the kind of local business we like backing. Watching a homegrown platform grow the way meMate has is a solid reminder of why that matters to us.
About more than creating branded pieces
The SBS Merch x meMate relationship is pretty close to what we're aiming for with any partner. Over the past year that's meant meMate's team showing up branded and consistent, and meMate's name coming up in conversations with clients of ours who needed exactly what they built.
Supporting local business
Two Australian businesses backing each other and the people they serve.
Mutual introductions
Connecting clients with the partner that solves exactly what they need.
Backing what we believe in
Real support for a business we've seen deliver, year after year.
