ABOUT US
Your data,
our passion.
At krunchbox, we are passionate about data — not because we’re numbers geeks (we are), or because
we like pie charts (we do) but because we enjoy finding the narrative in the data.
WHAT, so you can see the WHY, WHEN, WHERE and the HOW.
Our story
Established almost 20 years ago by two Australian wholesalers looking to harness the power of POS data to drive sales, krunchbox has evolved into a trusted leader in retail data management. Our team has deep retail and inventory planning experience, and a commitment to quality service that is second to none

Our goals
Simply put, our goals are your goals. You want to improve efficiency across your supply chain? So do we. You want to figure out why sales are high in the mid-west, but not in the south? Us too. You want to prove to your retailer that your products deserve more shelf space? We’ll show you how.

Our approach
The retail landscape has changed dramatically since krunchbox was launched and will continue to evolve at breakneck speed. To help you thrive in this chaotic world, we wrangle data to help you unlock insights hidden in your retailers’ POS data to drive quicker and smarter decisions.

JOHN PITMAN
Co-founder and CEO
Graduating from Cambridge with a degree in Biological Anthropology, life took the first of many twists, and John spent the next six years with The Dow Chemical Company. After completing an MBA at IMD in Switzerland, the next twist landed him at Coca-Cola Amatil in Sydney, Australia, where he spent four years as Head of Commercial Planning. In 2000, he joined the Sydney based News Corporation- Softbank vehicle, “e-Ventures”, as Chief Operating Officer. John then took on the role of Managing Director at a privately owned accessories wholesale business, where he remained for 12 years. It was during this time that he and his business partner first conceived the concept of utilizing Point of Sale data to drive incremental growth in a wholesale business, and the krunchbox model was born. John is passionate about data visualization and collaboration. When he is not krunching data, John has an alter ego as a professional musician, and has been a Board Member of a number of prominent Australian Arts companies.

ANDREW ISLES
Co-founder and Chairman
After graduating from Sydney University with a Bachelor of Economics, Andrew worked in investment banking for a number of years with both Bankers Trust and Elders Finance, before joining his family’s business of neck tie manufacturing. Over time A.Royale grew to become a successful wholesaler of Women’s, Men’s & Children’s accessories, as well as a broad range of Homeware products. Andrew has served on a number of public company boards, including FAI and HWW Ltd., as well as a wide variety of charitable and social enterprises. Aside from a period as Managing Director of eVentures, a News International/Softbank company, Andrew has always enjoyed the challenges and freedoms of being a self-employed businessman. Andrew enjoys sailing, skiing, and learning about what he can do better from his children.

FAY RODITIS
National Sales Manager, Australia
Fay has a long and successful history in business, both in retail and wholesale, and with a particular expertise in technology. However, it is her desire to understand her clients’ business needs and her passion for superior customer service that sets her apart and makes her such a popular figure amongst clients and colleagues alike. Her genuine interest in understanding and creating connections with people, coupled with her knowledge of how to leverage data effectively, makes her a potent force in Business Intelligence, working tirelessly in the best interests of her clients. Her constant smile is familiar to many in the industry, and anyone who works with Fay is familiar with her quirky, comical nature, which instils a breath of fresh air at sales conferences, business meetings and krunchbox team events.

With a background in packaging and supply chain for FMCG companies, Ryan has extensive knowledge of how to use data effectively to drive better business decisions. Getting beyond the numbers and teaching people how to use information in their everyday working life is a personal focus of Ryan’s. In his personal life Ryan enjoys the outdoors—hiking, spearfishing, skiing and any team sport as long as it doesn’t involve bats or rackets.

DOUG MURLESS

For the past 10+ years Doug has been working in the North American market promoting a variety of technology solutions to the retail, CPG and hospitality industries.
