Bundaberg · Wide Bay · QLD
Frontrow runs managed IT, Microsoft 365 and cyber security for Bundaberg and the Wide Bay. Senior, certified people serving the sugar and rum operators, food and beverage processors, macadamia and horticulture growers, and the port and logistics businesses of the region — designed for multi-site operations, seasonal workforces and flood-season continuity.
Why local matters
Distance changes the support model for Wide Bay. The provider that has stood in your server room answers a different way to the one that has only ever seen a network diagram.
Frontrow runs IT for Wide Bay businesses with senior, certified engineers and a regular on-the-ground presence, backed from the Brisbane office.
Someone who has walked your site, not a stranger reading a ticket from interstate.
Real people, regional reach
Frontrow's nearest office is in Brisbane, at Level 1, 355 Queen Street, and the team runs IT for Wide Bay businesses from that base. Not a reseller badge and an interstate phone queue — engineers who understand regional Queensland, backed by senior architects in Brisbane and Adelaide when the work calls for it.
Frontrow has been a Microsoft Partner since 2018, with Modern Work and AI specialisation and a 5× Microsoft MVP on the team. That depth shows up in Bundaberg the same way it does anywhere else.
Bundaberg grew up on cane, and the district still runs on it — the mills, the cane railways and the rum distillery the town is named for. Frontrow supports the seasonal workforces and the back-office systems that run on a crushing-season calendar, and the brand-protection and traceability obligations a food and beverage maker carries.
Wide Bay is a genuine food bowl — sugar refining, beverage production, soft-drink and small-goods manufacturing. Processors run line-of-business and production systems that can't sit idle. Frontrow keeps those patched, backed up and continuity-planned, with security aligned to the Essential Eight so a supply-chain audit holds up.
The region around Bundaberg is one of Australia's largest macadamia and small-crops districts, with packing sheds, cold storage and export-facing growers. Frontrow supports multi-property operators and the seasonal labour, logistics and traceability systems behind them.
The Port of Bundaberg, the bulk-sugar and molasses trade and the council that supports the region need IT that holds up across sites and through weather events. Frontrow designs continuity and identity for operations that can't simply close for the day.

Your ISP, your printer company, your line-of-business app vendor. One call to us — we handle the rest.
Designed for the place
A city MSP can email a SharePoint plan. A provider that works the Wide Bay knows a packing shed runs on a rural link, that crushing season changes who needs access when, and that flood season takes power down on a schedule worth planning for.
Farms, packing sheds, mills and depots are spread across the district, often on patchy rural links. Frontrow designs SharePoint, Teams and Intune for offline-then-sync usage and cellular-only devices, so a remote site isn't stranded when connectivity drops.
Crushing season and harvest bring waves of seasonal staff that break the steady-headcount assumptions most support models are built on. Conditional Access and Intune profiles are built for the roster, not against it.
Bundaberg knows flooding and storm season as well as anywhere in Queensland. Frontrow builds backup and restore regimes, and a documented comms plan, so staff know where to go and systems come back fast when a building is closed.
Food, beverage and export clients increasingly push security and traceability expectations down the chain. Frontrow aligns controls to the Essential Eight and reports posture in terms a procurement team or a board will accept.
Co-managed option
Plenty of Bundaberg operations already have someone who keeps the lights on. Frontrow co-manages — taking the out-of-hours, the Microsoft depth, the security and the specialist project work — and hands back the day-to-day that team wants to keep. Fully managed if there's no internal IT at all.
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed SLA. Project work is scoped separately, never slipped in through support.
Monthly reports an executive team can read — Essential Eight posture, ticket trends, risk — not a ticket dump.
