Sydney-based POS solutions developer Task Retail Technology has opened a global support command centre from which it will provide a service that tracks sales information in real time for any retail store in the world. The centre will enable the company to provide an array of sales information to its customers to help them maximise potential sales, said Kym Houden, chief executive of Task Retail.

"We monitor more than 1300 stores in Australia and we expect to sign large deals with global retail chains before the end of the year," Houden said. "We have built the global support command centre on the expectation that we will soon expand into the US, UK, and China. A number of large retail franchise operators in overseas markets are very interested in how our software can deliver instant information updates."
