When we talk to web developers about Platform Direct and then demonstrate the application they completely understand the level of complexity that resides within the email templating and sending engine that has been combined with a sophisticated contact segmentation system giving marketers some serious control over their e-markeitng activities.
Well after spending some time helping a friend with his new Pub (The Great Northern, Carlton North) and sitting down over lunch with Carlo Santoro yesterday (Retail Care) it's plainly obvious that integrated Web based solutions for the retail sector are only just becoming a viable and commercially accepted alternative. I'm still not sure how worthy an integrated web solution for a pub really is? it is clear however that retailers are getting closer to needing an integrated web suite that connects them to their POS and inventory system however they really need organisations like Retail Care that completely understand their point of sale needs to be the catalyst or driver of their online requirements.
Organisations like the Just Group & Rip Curl still have not got an integrated retail web offering so what chance is there for the little retailers? I think there could be some hope with organisations such as Retail Care and PIL playing their expert parts and offering solutions that match progressive needs over time.

It's always good when two passionate entrepreneurs come together to discuss industry sectors, the challenges and solutions that could help to drive measurable change as Carlo and I did yesterday. What was even better was Carlo's offer to let me fly to Las Vegas from Los Angeles! This included a quick landing at the old Hong Kong airport, Kai Tak.
Carlo owns Flight Experience in Melbourne a Boeing 737-800 flight simulator situated in the QV building in the city.
Our approach and landing in Las Vegas really highlighted my lack of flying skills! Although 2 / 3 efforts in Hong Kong were reasonable. Either way it was a fantastic experience that I can't wait to send my father on. He's a keen flight simulator gamer from very early days. Those that can remember Tracon in the 80's / early 90's will understand how keen he is on this kind of stuff.
