Surfaces, Inc. iPhone App to Help Contractors with Tile Specifying

By Nick Bajzek
Though I’m not a fan of Apple’s business practices (or Steve Jobs for that matter), I have to hand it to them—their mobile applications are pretty killer. The latest to come across my desk is from Surfaces, Inc. The company is a wholesale supplier and distributor of mosaics, glass and porcelain tile and the app makes selecting and specifying just a touch on the screen away. Surfaces says the first version, called Surfaces App, will have 400 SKUs along with photos, installation images and all the tech specs you need. There are some neat bells and whistles, too. Users can also place requests for samples or orders—both of which are directly forwarded to the company’s customer service reps. Easy for you, easy for them.
Gary W. Heinz, entrepreneur and President of GWH Ventures, who with Albert Claramonte, President of Surfaces, Inc., conceived of this app. It was also built in partnership with Randy Apuzzo of Jetscram Design. "We are already in discussions with other companies that have expressed interest in featuring and advertising their products on the Surfaces App. In addition, we are working on including special articles and tips of the trade from the hottest interior designers from around the world," he said in prepared remarks.
You can find the Surfaces App at the Apple App Store.
No word yet if the app will come to the Android platform…
