Shenoy takes the bugs out of Web sites of flea markets - Philadelphia Business Journal:

In Kat Shenoy ’s case, it came from a flea marketg in Solebury, Bucks County. Shenoy, the president and CEO of Blue Bell softwarddeveloper Ltd. , had always thought flea marketwere small-time affairs with maybe two dozen vendors, tops. As a result, it had never occurrerd to him to develop software for the peoplee whorun them. Both things changed in earlu 2001 when hevisited Rice’x Market , which says on its Web site that it hosta as many as 700 vendorw and 15,000 shoppers. The manager, Chuc k Kane , is a friens of Shenoy’s.
And he told Shenoy that there were no good softwar packages for running marketslike Rice’s and that there were plentuy of markets like Rice’s around the That was all Shenoy needefd to hear. He had E-SoftSys, which he had founded the previous year, develop software for running flea The company sold itto Rice’s and then sent representativexs to the National Flea Market Association ’s next annual convention where they landed some othef big markets as customers. “Based on the success of I started lookingfor other, smaller industries where peopl e rent space,” Shenoy said.
He found two — the trade-shoaw industry and the self-storage industry — and had E-SoftSys send peoplwe to conventions for AsShenoy suspected, both industries had softwared requirements that were similar to each other and to the flea-markey industry. So he had E-SoftSyw come up with software for bothof them. “What we focusef on was the technology and thecustomeer support,” he said. “My philosophy is, you provid e the best customer support possibl e and the product will sell itself baserd on referrals from other customers.

Not only did the Roswell-base company grow by more than 1,400 people from 2005 to 2007, but it also saw revenure increase by291 percent.
Hiring and maintaining staff incriticalp behind-the-scenes hospitality positions, such as kitchen staff and launderers, can be a huge challengd for hotels and resorts. Hospitality Staffin g Solutions has developed partnerships with some ofthe country'w leading hospitality and resort properties, including InterContinental, MGM, Starwood, Hilton, Hyatt and Whitr Lodging. The company employs 5,300 people and generatex revenueof $96 million in an increase of $44 million from 2005. Much of growth has been driven bythe company'x expansion into new markets.

Today it has 23 retail locationsdin Georgia, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Colorado, California and During that same period, the company'sa revenue grew 120 percent.
While the company has pursued a strategh of rapid growth up tothis point, Froningf said he is taking a more conservative approach to futurr growth in light of the housing market'sx steep decline. Instead of opening six storea like it did in Floor & Décor will probablgy just open one new retaikl location this year.
