Wavelink partners with Honeywell to expand mobility solutions
The agreement marks a strategic expansion of Wavelink's mobility portfolio, introducing Honeywell's automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) solutions to its partners. These tools will support a range of industries including retail, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, healthcare and utilities.
"Honeywell's portfolio complements and expands Wavelink's existing mobility solutions," said Mark McDonald, general manager of mobility at Wavelink. "It provides our partners access to proven, industry-grade technology that addresses real-world challenges in environments where accuracy, speed and reliability are critical. Honeywell is an exciting addition to Wavelink's mobility portfolio suitable for a range of sectors where Wavelink already has a well-established presence."
Wavelink will offer Honeywell comprehensive channel support services including marketing, pre- and post-sales expertise, training, staging, implementation and lifecycle management. This support structure is intended to drive adoption and integration of Honeywell's solutions among Wavelink's partner network.
"This partnership is about more than just adding a globally recognised brand to our portfolio," said Ilan Rubin, chief executive officer of Wavelink. "It's about delivering value for our partners by combining Honeywell's world-class mobility solutions with Wavelink's deep vertical expertise and strong channel enablement and development capabilities. Honeywell gains access to a dedicated team that understands the nuances of local markets, backed by more than 25 years of experience creating demand and supporting partners to deliver on complex customer needs."
A key objective of the collaboration is to connect Honeywell with specialist partners who have experience and customer reach in aligned verticals. Wavelink also plans to pair Honeywell's offerings with complementary vendor technologies to enhance customer value.
As part of its broader operational technology (OT) strategy, Wavelink will incorporate Honeywell's solutions into cross-domain initiatives involving cybersecurity, infrastructure and data visibility. This integrated approach underscores the distributor's commitment to technology partnerships that deliver business outcomes.
Bartek Krajewski, Asia Pacific sales leader at Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services, highlighted the benefits of working with Wavelink. "Honeywell's collaboration with Wavelink will extend the reach of our portfolio in Australia. We value their proven track record in mobility, deep understanding of customer pain points and ability to build and support a thriving partner ecosystem. Together, we're confident in delivering exceptional outcomes across key verticals."
The announcement reflects Wavelink's ongoing investment in its partner ecosystem and strengthens its role as a key distribution partner for global technology providers in the region.

Nicola Willis To Ask Fonterra About High Price Of Butter
Finance Minister Nicola Willis will be asking Fonterra about the high retail price of butter in New Zealand. Willis told First Up it didn't seem quite right that butter seemed to be cheaper in Australian supermarkets. The price of a block of butter is now 120 percent higher than it was a decade ago, Stats NZ says. In the year to June it was up 46.5 percent to $8.60 for a 500g block. At her regular meeting with the dairy co-operative on Tuesday evening she would be discussing what gets added to the cost by retail brands, including Fonterra's Anchor, and at the wholesale level. "My frustration has been when you sometimes go on to an Australian supermarket website and see that butter appears to be cheaper there than in New Zealand, that doesn't seem quite right. So that's exactly the conversation I want to have." "They'll have the opportunity to set out their case." It was well understood the main driver of prices for dairy products was international demand and pricing, Willis said. "But competition at the retail level does seem to have an effect on price, because organisations like Costco choose to have a really low price point on that product to get people in the door and the ultimate winner of all of that is the Kiwi shopper. "So I'm talking to Fonterra about what they're seeing in terms of the supermarket pricing behaviour, what the margins are." In May, Costco Auckland's special pricing saw queues out the door. Federated Farmers dairy chair Karl Dean has urged retailers to lower prices quickly when costs go down, and said there was probably very little Fonterra itself could do. "To put in it in perspective, there hasn't been any new players onto the domestic market in the last 10 years in terms of butter, other than the likes of Westgold - Westland have got their very premium product," he told Morning Report last week.

ROLLER Leverages Datadog To Cut Cloud Costs And Improve Reliability
Press Release – Datadog ROLLER is the software behind more than 2,200 attraction businesses, including Sky Zone Trampoline Parks, Scenic World and Chipmunks Playland & Caf. Founded in Melbourne, the company now operates in 35 countries. The software behind over 2,200 attractions uses Datadog to help drive 24×7 availability through comprehensive cloud observability and security Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today announced ROLLER, an Australian-founded software company for attractions, has streamlined operations, improved availability, and reduced cloud infrastructure costs using the Datadog platform. ROLLER is the software behind more than 2,200 attraction businesses, including Sky Zone Trampoline Parks, Scenic World and Chipmunks Playland & Café. Founded in Melbourne, the company now operates in 35 countries, supports millions of guest experiences, and processes more than AU$450 million in transactions per month. 'We provide a trusted mission-critical system for attractions all over the world,' says Sean Fernandez, CIO at ROLLER. 'It's imperative that our systems remain highly available so our customers can continue to conduct transactions and provide a modern digital experience visitors expect. That's how we landed on Datadog. It's a system of intelligence that enables our small team to continue to support thousands of attractions businesses worldwide.' Consolidating multiple tools, the move to Datadog provided ROLLER with a unified observability and security platform, breaking down siloes and providing crucial context into potential application performance issues that may impede bookings and the overall customer experience. ROLLER can now detect, understand and resolve problems quickly, conduct more accurate troubleshooting, manage logs, address application vulnerabilities, and ensure it maintains service level agreements (SLAs) with customers. Moreover, Datadog has enabled ROLLER to reach its goal of 24×7 availability. Alerts worked correctly from day one of implementation, and previous pain points, such as log aggregation and correlation, have become easy to manage. The ability to correlate events across ROLLER's entire technology stack has drastically improved incident response times. The mean time to remediation (MTTR) is down by 99 per cent – with issues being resolved in 15 minutes when it previously could take three days. 'When we have an issue, the most useful thing is not just to look at what's broken – it's to look at the entire stack, because you'll always end up missing the forest for the trees with the number of events that can stem from one single issue,' said Fernandez. 'Datadog allows us to observe our whole environment with a single pane of glass, and the platform correlates everything in 30 seconds versus manually trawling through multiple systems, which would previously take hours at best.' Derisking cloud modernisation and cutting costs As ROLLER scaled, rising cloud compute costs coincided with a need to modernise its cloud infrastructure. Datadog supported ROLLER's modernisation initiatives across infrastructure, continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD). ROLLER reduced the time to spin up new compute capacity by 77 per cent and reduced compute costs by around 60 per cent. Using Datadog to execute these modernisation initiatives enabled the team to improve operational efficiency while delivering long-term growth. 'Datadog derisked taking modernisation approaches on AWS,' says Fernandez. 'Observability is about reducing risk. You can take a much bigger risk building infrastructure if you have a really good observability platform over the top. Datadog helped us understand whether our customers were still being serviced properly as we made changes to our infrastructure and CI/CD processes.' ROLLER now has comprehensive visibility into its applications and infrastructure, enabling operations, engineering, security and support teams with the ability to use and communicate using one platform. ROLLER's relatively small ICT team has also quadrupled scale while simultaneously derisking operations and supporting more complex systems. 'The experiences industry is defined by strong customer service, built on trust and reliability – from the moment customers book their tickets to the memories they keep,' said Rob Thorne, Vice President for APJ at Datadog. 'By using Datadog to create a reliable and resilient infrastructure, ROLLER has de-risked its operations while bringing down its cloud spend, priming it to support for an industry still navigating the impacts of the pandemic.'
