GOC Retail announces formal expansion into Asia

GOC Retail is pleased to announce a formal expansion into Asia. In 2013, GOC Retail was launched as a retail division of leading supply chain technology provider ComActivity, to market end-to-end technology solutions beyond the group’s ANZ and European current market presence. Following a successful launch into Europe in 2015, this expansion will be a new milestone for GOC Retail ‘s customers with a global footprint.

For GOC Retail’s customers with global business footprints the move into Asia is part of the businesses strategy to deliver game-changing technology and localised services in all major geographic locations.

Michael Wong has been engaged to lead the regional business expansion in Asia. Based out of Singapore, and previously heading the Sales and Marketing development of the leading Retail Management Solution provider, Cegid, Michael has a wealth of experience in the vertical and across Asian countries.
