Name one fun fact that makes your company different from others.
Our origin story. It all began on the Island of Oahu in Hawaii in the early 1970’s when Paul Mickelsen, our Founder, working for Crazy Shirts, the first Company ever to screen print a T-Shirt, began a journey to investigate an automated Merchandising System and realized it might be easier to learn how to program and build a retail system than to teach retail to a programmer. In 1977, Island Pacific was founded, followed by our first customer in 1978.
What is the most encouraging thing you see for the future of the retail IT industry?
From AI Features to an Intelligent Operating Layer
Instead of just embedding a basic chatbot on a website, retailers are utilizing Agentic AI. Autonomous, backend software systems that connect fragmented silos.
