A Story Decades in the Making
But Ben quickly saw potential beyond basic sign printing. Driven to improve, he decided to write a custom program, teaching himself programming through trial and error. After a couple of years of persistence, he had a working software product. SupaValu Quinns Rock became his first paying customer, purchasing the program for $2,500.
From there, Ben produced a user manual and, over the next two years, sold 24 copies of his program, SignWriter, to local independent supermarkets. His passion and commitment caught the attention of John and Lagis, who were running a company called Fundi. Enthusiastic about Ben’s vision, they became his first investors.
The rest, as they say, is history.

Head of IT
Meet our CEO,
Scott Zucker
Scott has spent his career in retail and retail technology, working closely with some of the industry’s largest retailers on the problems that play out at the shelf every day: getting pricing, promotions, and product information right, at scale, without delay. Most recently he served as General Manager of Revionics, one of the most established names in retail pricing and promotions, where he led the company’s push into AI-driven pricing.
He joined Last Yard as CEO in 2026, drawn by a business that already leads its market at home in Australia and has clear room to grow well beyond it. Scott’s focus is on taking a proven platform to retailers across the US, LATAM, and EMEA, at a moment when the industry is rapidly shifting from paper to digital at the shelf edge. He believes the retailers who move first, and get their in-store communication right, will be the ones who win the next decade.
