Pronto Software, an Australia-based ERP vendor, has named Desmond Carroll as product manager-retail, with responsibility for development and the go-to-market strategy for Pronto’s application. Since an initial round of American resellers that were announced last year, Pronto has not published the names of any more dealers in this country. However, it has had a stream of new releases that show the company beefing up its managerial ranks to push the Pronto-Xi, its flagship product. Before joining Pronto, Carroll held several management positions at multi-site retail organizations, including Spotlight Australia and Priceline where his responsibilities included development, training, implementation and ongoing management of POS systems at store, state and national levels.
