uTypia Websites Surge as "OLC" Comes to a Close
Trodat's uTypia division completed the conversion of over 90 websites from M&R's Online Custom to the uTypia solution as of October 2008. Customers of Online Custom had to choose a new e-commerce solution when Trodat purchased M&R last year and announced the shutdown of the older "OLC" product. More than 90 percent of those customers made uTypia their solution of choice. The completion of this project puts uTypia at over 200 websites in the United States and more than 500 worldwide.
With the tremendous growth of websites utilizing uTypia comes growth in staff as well. Currently with nine employees and two more starting in January, uTypia's staff of 11 can help take businesses to the next level with their e-commerce initiative. Regardless of product brand, uTypia is the scalable tool that enables businesses to sell all types of products to all types of customers.
