Topicz Plans On ProSel
Tablet App From Ai2 Gets Ohio Distributor's Attention
CHICAGO - July 1, 2011 - Software development firm Ai2 announced today that Topicz, Incorporated of Cincinnati, Ohio plans to roll out Ai2's application for the Apple iPad. The application is called ProSel and it is designed to automate the functions of the mobile sales representative.
"We've received a lot of response to ProSel from innovators like Topicz," said Douglas Katich, CEO for Ai2. "They're a good example of a customer getting a lot of value from our solutions - not just one product, but our suite."
ProSel debuted at an expo hosted by the American Wholesale Marketers Association in February of 2011. Since then, Ai2 reports a great deal of interest in the application as easy-to-use tablet computers flood the marketplace. "We see the iPad as the category leader, from a user standpoint and from our perspective as software engineers," commented Katich. ProSel is designed to combine the ease of iPad applications with the rigorous data demands of a mobile sales force responsible for hundreds of customers and thousands of items.
Since its introduction in April 2010, the Apple iPad has emerged as the fastest-selling and most talked about tablet computer. With the "App Store" that boasts over 300,000 titles, it has been a revolutionary consumer product as well as a popular development platform for the software industry. Analysts have forecast that approximately 45 million iPads will be in use by the end of 2011.
Topicz has transformed a candy and tobacco distributor into a full line convenience store and tobacco shop supplier servicing the Tri-State from two convenient air conditioned locations: Cincinnati, Ohio and Maysville, Kentucky. Topicz is locally owned and operated as a division of Novelart Manufacturing Company. Novelart and it predecessor corporations have been in business for more than 65 years. Novelart is rated 4A1 by Dun & Bradstreet and provides resources necessary to assure Topicz continued diversification and growth. For more, visit the company's website.
