Industries we serve — industry-specific IT for Melbourne business

Which industries does Key IT support in Melbourne?

Key IT provides industry IT solutions for Melbourne businesses in eleven sectors: legal, healthcare and medical (GP clinics, dental practices and pharmacies), finance and accounting, manufacturing, professional services, real estate, construction, not-for-profit, childcare, retail and hospitality, and transport and logistics. In each one, our security-certified engineers set up support and security around the software and regulators that sector deals with, backed by 24/7 SOC monitoring and no lock-in contracts.

Generic IT treats every business the same. But a law firm's trust account, a clinic's patient records, a manufacturer's production line and a charity's donor data each carry different risks, run on different software, and answer to different regulators. Key IT builds IT and security around the specific pressures of your industry — not a template with the name swapped out.

What software and compliance does Key IT cover in each industry?

Key IT supports the main software platforms in every sector we serve and builds controls around the rules each one answers to. Here is a quick reference:

• Legal: LEAP, Smokeball and Actionstep, with trust-account access and email locked down against payment-redirection fraud, and controls aligned to the Legal Profession Uniform Law and the Privacy Act.
• Healthcare and medical: Best Practice, MedicalDirector, Genie and Zedmed, with backups, unique logins and continuity plans set up for the RACGP Standards, and NASH, PRODA and HPOS certificate expiry tracked for you. Dental practices on Dental4Windows or Dental4Web and community pharmacies on Fred Dispense Plus each have their own page.
• Finance and accounting: Xplan, Iress, Class Super, BGL, Xero and MYOB, with audit-ready evidence for APRA CPS 234 and ASIC RG 271. Accounting practices, tax agents and bookkeepers have their own page on IT support for accountants in Melbourne, covering myID and RAM access control, tax-time patching and refund-fraud defence.
• Manufacturing: Acumatica, SAP Business One, NetSuite and Pronto, plus OT/IT segmentation so a compromised office PC cannot reach the machines on the floor (see manufacturing cybersecurity).
• Professional services: Microsoft 365, SharePoint, NetDocuments, HubSpot and Salesforce, with confidential client documents kept behind access controls and monitoring.
• Real estate: PropertyMe, Property Tree, Rex, VaultRE and Console, with a verification step on any change to deposit or trust-account details.
• Construction: Procore, BuilderTREND, Buildxact and simPRO, kept usable and secure on tablets and phones out on site.
• Not-for-profit: Microsoft 365 and Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack, with donor and beneficiary data protected for the Privacy Act and, where relevant, NDIS obligations.
• Childcare: Xplor Education, Storypark, OWNA and Kidsoft, plus Key IT-installed CCTV and door access control that logs who comes and goes.
• Retail and hospitality: Lightspeed, Square and Shopify POS, Tyro payments and hotel systems like Mews, on networks built for PCI DSS.
• Transport and logistics: CartonCloud, Microlistics, CargoWise and MyTrucking, with scanners and telematics gateways separated from office IT.
