Templepatrick Firm To Develop Software For International Markets

Marketstall Services and Software Solutions in Templepatrick has been assisted by Invest Northern Ireland to invest £1.5m and to create six new high quality jobs in developing innovative software for international markets.

The company has received support worth £320,000 from Invest NI, including R&D funding, part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, for the EDGEPoS branded software for convenience retailing. All six new posts are now in place, bringing employment at Marketstall to 35.

Moira Loughran, Invest NI's Eastern Regional Manager, welcoming the company's success, said: "Marketstall is an excellent example of the holistic support provided by Invest NI to encourage and assist this ambitious company to develop business outside Northern Ireland.

"The company has identified opportunities overseas for expertise and knowledge in retailing technology that it has developed working with independent retailers and convenience stores in petrol forecourts in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland over many years.

"The Invest NI team has worked closely with Marketstall's management to shape a support package in line with the company's business plan. This has enabled Marketstall to harness its expertise and experience to design innovative software, to explore opportunities abroad, especially in Australia, and also to design and implement a much stronger and contemporary corporate identity to facilitate its growth in international and domestic markets."
