The innovative software design and sales companies are capitalising on the growing consumer demand for mobile applications and the popular Apple iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, and enabling Sunshine Coast businesses to include ‘applications’ in their own marketing strategies.

iApps and Crunch Computers are the brainchild of Managing Director Rick Hoy, who says the companies will become a one stop shop for clients to develop unique applications for their business and source the latest Apple products and accessories.

“Applications can vary from small applications such as games and gimmicks to larger applications, so any Sunshine Coast business or individual can create their own application to suit their business and their budget,” Mr Rick Hoy said.

‘The iApps business model is unique in that we create opportunity in the market.

“iApps develops applications to address a specific need within an industry and focus on applications that reduce costs, increase efficiency and thereby increase profits.”

Crunch computers will be selling a range of Apple products and accessories including products from all the brand name favourites.
