Spying On Stock: The Flagship Story | #220 - a podcast by Nathan Bush
from 2022-09-04T19:00:06
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Simon Molnar, Founder of Flagship. Simon has retail blood flowing through his veins. I wouldn’t mind being a fly on the wall at the dinner table in this family’s house I can tell you - it’s where the idea for Afterpay was first knocked about! After taking his parents’ jewellery business online with great success, Simon founded Flagship, is a retail-focused tech company that uses bluetooth product stickers to give brick and mortar stores access to the kind of data and insights that eCommerce businesses have long enjoyed. In this chat, Simon shares the story of how he went from selling Pandora to his school teacher to building one of Australia’s biggest online jewellery sites, why his biggest strength is also his greatest weakness and how his ultimate goal is to make manual stocktakes a thing of the past - now that would make him the most popular Molnar surely?!
