Fresh from a US$20 million funding injection, omnichannel-solutions startup CitiXsys plans to open six offices across Asia, eyeing region-wide expansion.

CitiXsys’ new offices will be located in Singapore, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, Manila, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.

“Southeast Asia offers an ideal business climate today, with massive opportunity in this important region,” said Kamal Karmakar, CitiXsys CEO.

“Purchasing a retail-management solution is one of the most important decisions a retailer can make, since the future of the entire business hangs on its success.”

Southeast Asia is the world’s fastest-growing internet region with the e-commerce market expected to reach US$53 billion by 2023.

“By opening up more local offices and bringing on local product expertise we will be able to better support the needs of our fast-growing client, partner, and distributor base in Southeast Asia,” added Paula Da Silva, executive VP of global partnerships and alliances at CitiXsys.

“Already this year, the CitiXsys channel partner ecosystem in this region has grown by 30 per cent, signalling a need for solutions designed to complement the way retail works in Asia today.”
