Future Point Systems, operating as The Electronic Company, is a specialized software and hardware development firm based on Queensland's Gold Coast, Australia. The company was established by founding Director Mark Pointing in 2005, though it began formally trading under the FuturePoint Systems name in April 2014.
The founder's journey is deeply rooted in the electrical industry. Mark Pointing gained over a decade of hands-on experience at the South East Queensland Electricity Board (now Energex), which provided him with critical insights into the real-world performance requirements for equipment in the electricity supply sector. This background directly informed the company's initial focus. Between 2005 and 2009, he developed a series of logging and diagnostic equipment, including the Flexi-Logger and Volt-Logger. His expertise led to a role as Technical Manager for the TMAC Group, where he supervised the Research & Development department and was instrumental in creating the “Peak Smart” Air-Conditioner Demand Management Controller, a device installed in over 100,000 homes. After completing a Bachelor's Degree in Software Development, Mark, alongside his wife Bianca who manages administration, dedicated his focus to the company.
Future Point Systems operates as a bespoke development house, bringing client ideas to life across all platforms, including mobile devices, web applications, embedded systems, and microcontrollers. The business provides custom software development for a range of industries such as medical, construction, industrial, and energy. Its services encompass the creation of applications, dashboards, websites, online services, and industrial programs, backed by deployment and maintenance support. The business model appears to be project-based, delivering tailored solutions directly to clients who require specialized software and electronic design.
