Local spirits maker Bondi Blue Vodka has rolled out a new a system that allows the company's sales team and senior executives to work more efficiently while on the road. 

The company worked with Australian-based cloud solutions provider Consultel Cloud to implement the new solution - a Citrix environment running on a NetApp Hyper Converged Infrastructure - that allows the team to access everything they need and also to work more efficiently.

"We were struggling to keep up. I needed more on-the-go reporting and access to files and invoicing etc. Now I can invoice when I am out and about on the go which saves me a lot of time and I can see it essentially like I see a desktop with the Citrix integration," Bondi Blue Vodka founder Jess Rugolo said.

“It’s easier to use and is so much less time consuming so I can focus on my business. We are really glad we partnered with Consultel Cloud, their 24/7 local call centre is a fantastic help and they were best on price too.”

Consultel Cloud recently expanded its data centre locations to Singapore to service clients, such as multinational food companies, seeking secure cloud-based solutions in Asia.

Consultel Cloud's cloud solutions lead Benjamin Molloy said, “ultimately, the new data centre will allow Consultel Cloud to provide direct and secure cloud storage and service to clients doing global business. We know businesses in the food industry conducting business internationally will greatly benefit from this.”

Bondi Blue Vodka is a privately owned Australian company. The product is distilled five times from the finest Aussie grains and blended Australian water sourced from ancient catchments.
