ProPath Group is a Sunshine Coast business automation consultancy. Senior, independent advice and done-for-you delivery — so you get the benefit of modern technology while keeping control of everything that carries your name.
Since 1999 · three decades of enterprise delivery
Over three decades we've delivered for organisations including ANZ, NAB, BP, Telstra, Tabcorp, Zurich, Coles Myer, Foster's, a federal defence program, and the Australian and Queensland governments — most as the technical delivery behind the integrators they hired.
ANZ
Designed the infrastructure for a first-of-its-kind property valuation system that removed the need for drive-by valuations on 60–70% of the bank's lending.
Coles Myer
Designed the EFTPOS terminal replacement across every Coles Myer brand for the 3DES encryption mandate — a national retail payments-security rollout.
Federal government · Canberra
For the Department of Industry, designed and deployed a complete new enterprise environment — domain, Exchange, Active Directory, SOE, storage and security.
CDI-Time · today
A manufacturer still runs daily on custom software we built — the same build-it-then-leave-it-running standard we hold now.
Other delivery has ranged from enterprise infrastructure to a full new network for Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne.
What we believe
We're tools you wield, not black boxes you trust blindly. Every system we build keeps the human — you — with the final say. Nothing goes out under your name without your approval.
The gap between advice and a working solution is where most consultants stop. We don't. If the fix involves software, we write it. If it involves process, we redesign it — then we hand you something that runs.
A business that runs better tomorrow is worth more than a beautifully presented strategy. We measure success by what changes, not what we recommended.
What we do
Your Instagram and Facebook, handled. We write posts in your voice from the photos you share — you approve every post before it goes live. Consistent social presence without the effort, and nothing out the door without your say.
Intelligent assistants that can sell, help, support, and keep your processes and procedures up-to-date and accessible. Built around how your business actually works — you keep the final say, and your data can stay in Australia.
Process optimisation, custom systems development, and operational advisory for manufacturers and industrial businesses. We find what's actually slowing you down — not just what shows up in the reports.
Something in your business isn't working the way it should. It might be people, process, or technology — usually a combination, in the wrong order. We work out what it actually is, and fix the right things first.
Custom systems, automation, and tools built around how your business actually works — not whatever an off-the-shelf product decided for you. From a single dashboard to a full platform, we build the thing that fits.
A structured look at how work actually flows through your business — where it breaks, what's being worked around, and what to fix first. Independent, with no software to sell you at the end of it.
An independent review of the AI you've already deployed — so you find the gaps before your customers, or a regulator, do. We check where it's exposed, where it drifts, and where it's quietly making decisions no one signed off on.
Australian Data Sovereignty
*Local AI models may not yet match the best international models, but they're improving fast — and we tune your app to get the best results for your business.
About
Ben Sweales is ProPath Group's founder and principal. Across 30+ years he has worked in enterprise architecture, consulting, project management and solution and consultative sales — in banking, telecommunications, energy and government — designing and delivering the systems large organisations depend on.
For fifteen of those years he ran his own firm, BNC Computing Solutions, with full profit-and-loss responsibility. ProPath Group has operated since 1999. The focus today is narrower by design: bringing that enterprise-grade thinking to businesses that want senior, independent advice and practical technology built around how they actually work.
We use our own tools. ProPath's own Instagram and Facebook run on the same Socials platform our clients use, and CDI Motorsport has run on custom software we built for years. If we wouldn't trust it ourselves, we don't offer it to you.
Background
Send a message and explain what you're trying to fix. No forms, no funnels — just a conversation with someone who'll give you a straight answer.
