Xsilva Systems hits Apple Expo with LightSpeed
Xsilva Systems Inc., maker of a comprehensive suite of retail tools tailored for the Mac, is set to impress the audience at Apple Expo in Toronto on August 21 with demonstrations of its LightSpeed product portfolio.
In North America, Xsilva’s business is predominantly channel-driven, targeting small chain and independent retailers through the Apple channel, and the company will be seeking to further educate the reseller audience about the benefits retailers can achieve by moving to the Mac platform. In addition, the show’s end-user audience will be able to experience first-hand the compelling features and sleek design of the LightSpeed product.
LightSpeed combines a powerful point-of-sale (POS) solution for front-counter retail with back-office functions such as inventory management, order processing and billing. Version 3.0 will feature a new point-of-sale screen, a host of new features for multi-store retailers and support for the latest version of Xsilva’s e-commerce solution, Web Store 2.0.
Web Store is an add-on to LightSpeed that is purchased separately. It provides retailers with a visually stunning PHP- and CSS-based e-commerce site that engages online shoppers with fully customizable templates. Visitors to a retail site employing Web Store are greeted by rich product visuals and a clean design that delivers an elegant and stylish look and feel inspired by Apple Inc.’s online store.
“Apple Expo is going to be a great venue for us to communicate with the Apple resellers that help drive our market,” said Dax Dasilva, founder and CEO of Xsilva Systems. “We are looking forward to seeing some new faces and introducing them to the wonders of LightSpeed.”
