How 197 Markets Are Rewiring the Retail Transaction

Your retail solution works in one country. What happens when you take it into twenty?

In my latest book, I bring together research across 197 markets to explain how fiscalization shapes retail technology, why requirements differ and what those differences mean for your next rollout or product decision.

  • 197-market reference to compare fiscalization status, system architectures and technical requirements.

  • A global perspective on hardware, software, online and hybrid fiscalization models.

  • Practical insights for decision-makers planning international expansion and developing retail solutions.

Written for retailers, POS vendors and retail technology professionals who need to understand the global picture before making local decisions.

icon GLOBAL RETAIL

Compliance as a Product. Growth as a Result.

I have led multi-country retail rollouts for tier-1 brands, launching POS, fiscal middleware, and omnichannel journeys across 27+ countries with clear KPIs, fast cutovers, and zero-drama go-lives. Projects span grocery, fashion, convenience, and specialty, store-as-hub, click & collect, mobile POS, and real-time reporting that scale. My business concept is simple: turn compliance and architecture into a product, repeatable, measurable, and built to expand. I drive innovation through creative prototyping (phygital experiences, live shopping, AI agents) that moves from lab to store floor, quickly and reliably.
