This Market’s Launch Pad will feature PROFITsystems, Inc., who will be launching two new products. “We are introducing two new products,” said Terry Nelson, director of sales for PROFITsystems, Inc. “One of them is called PROFITon-demand and that is our remotely hosted solution for our existing software PROFITprofessional. It is hosted on our industrial strength servers and allows clients to simply log-in over the Internet and practically eliminates all of their hardware investment. The second product is called e-Showroom which is a website integration that allows the store’s furniture to be displayed on their website. It is basically a virtual showroom. It is a virtual showroom that is intended to drive customers into the stores rather than purchase over the Internet.”
