The artisans are done, the painters did a perfect job and the new furniture was delivered on time. So luckily nothing got in the way of opening our new premises.

On Friday the 16th October 2009, it was time to celebrate the happening. With our best friends and business partners, we have the new rooms of our think tank dedicated to decency and simultaneously triggered on the first anniversary of our company. We thank the many guests, friends and business partners, and representatives of the local press for the beautiful and cheerful celebration.

A year after the foundation, we look back with joy and pride. The commitment of all the founders and employees of apnoti.com lets even in these tough times the company grow strongly, so the team of apnoti.com can look very optimistically about the future. What began in the “hobby room” at Lake Starnberg soon developed into a global online service for consumers. apnoti.com (automatic price notification) is based on an unprecedented technology to record price fluctuations – of products you love – in real time.  Once registered with apnoti.com, the user can directly monitor all desired online products with one click. From now on, apnoti.com will take over laborious online research into daily price fluctuations. As soon as the user’s desired price has been reached or undercut, an alert is sent out by email. In addition, price trend models provide information about past price developments.  Since August 2009 also the world’s only real-time price search engine www.smart.apnoti.com is part of our online services. Online shoppers will find the most recent and best price for their desired product just in a few seconds. Thereby smart.apnoti.com scans for each search query more than 65 million product offers from more than 10,000 affiliated online shops.

… someone at the opening ceremony raised the question if we are now going to freeze the further development of our online services. People just took notice of a loud and strong “not really – we are just starting to push our services and there never will be an ending story, for all of us every day is a new start to create something new and exciting on the web”. For example, at the end of November 2009, we will be launching the first web application for the iPhone, which soon is available for download from the iTunes Store. Thus, the new application makes the iPhone to the bar-code-scanner with integrated real-time price comparison. The user starts the iPhone application that scans the barcode from the desired product and will get all the necessary product details and on request a mobile real-time price comparison. This mobile application can read EAN, PZN, ISBN codes, and more. So you are always informed about the products of interest and know the price range in the store to better judge. In addition, you can also search products by using the iPhone application and receive the corresponding price data from a selection of several million product offerings analyzed in real time. Clicking the lowest bidder will then allow the purchase of the product. The countdown has started, so to speak, and soon we are ringing in a new era in mobile shopping – a new feature that we can hardly wait for.

Last but not least, we once again thank our guests very much for the lovely evening and the wonderful collection presents.
