In this series, we sit down with members of the GK Software team to learn more about their experience with the company.
Tell us a little about your career journey. How did you end up at GK Software?
I’ve been in the retail software industry for 17 years, working for companies like Retalix, NCR, Wincor-Nixdorf, Shell Americas, Flooid, and now GK Software.
I started my career in the retail software industry in quality assurance for commercial fueling customers and shortly after moved on to project and executive program management. And for the past six years, I’ve worked in retail software sales in pre-sales, and as a technical account executive.
What is your favorite part of working for GK?
There is much to like about GK and it’s hard to pinpoint one specific part, but I’d have to say a main part is the people. I interact with coworkers at all levels of the company daily and it’s clear how everyone here is committed to each other and goes the extra mile all the time.
Another aspect that I’d have to focus on is the GK Platform, Touchpoints and Enterprise solutions. From a technical standpoint, OmniPOS is a leading solution that uses latest technology and truly allows our customers to be creative and enhance their shopper experience creating unique customer journeys.
Is there an implementation, tech advancement, or collaboration effort that you’re most proud of during your time at GK?
I’ve been a part of GK for a little over a year, but it was quickly apparent that the solutions are designed with the industry’s needs in mind. The App Enablement feature allows retailers to integrate with external apps and third-party vendors directly into a POS interface. As a result, our customers have the flexibility to design and develop their custom journeys, and third-party applications can integrate into GK OmniPOS in a matter of hours across all aspects, POS, loyalty, pricing, promotions, and payments.
What do you think makes GK’s offerings unique?
CLOUD4RETAIL is the only platform on the market that delivers a single POS solution across all retail verticals and integrates aspects like payments and loyalty. And by all verticals, I mean all verticals, including grocery, fashion and department stores, hospitality (both quick service and table service), convenience and fuel, mass merchandise and more.
Lastly, what do you like to do in your free time?
I enjoy spending my free time with my family, and riding motorcycles – both on and off road.
