Australian retail management systems provider, Retail Directions, is seeking to further expand and increase its presence in the Asia Pacific market with the appointment of two new senior executives for Australia and the APAC region.

Retail Directions managing director, Andrew Gorecki, said the appointment of, Jim Christie and Thomas Pilcik, brought over 50 years of combined experience to the company, and would help drive the business strategy and increase awareness of the Retail Directions brand.

“We're thrilled to attract people of this calibre to join Retail Directions.  Both Jim and Thomas are talented professionals with strong retail experience, and will add great value to our team.  They will help us accelerate our ability to help our customers achieve success and a dominant market position by providing them with a retail system, which already powers retailers such as Cotton On, Forever New and The Body Shop globally.”

Jim Christie has 25 years of experience in sales and marketing with Kronos, Exinda Networks, Aprisma Management Technologies, QAD and JBA International and Thomas Pilcik previously worked in IT in the APAC retail industry, and with Microsoft, JD Edwards and Intentia.

According to Pilcik, there are many retailers “struggling with cumbersome, expensive and restrictive business systems which do not allow them to relate to their customers and are not supporting and delivering value to their business.”  “I am looking forward to showing them that there is another solution to consider.  Retail Directions really understands the retail industry and provides a system designed specifically for this sector that is not only simple and intuitive, but is far more cost effective than other systems, which can make a significant difference to the business bottom line.”
