Mat Beeche editor at startupdaily.com.au
My hat off to KISA team for bringing out a product with such crisp and clear ties to its niche user needs. What a fresh change from a "see what we can do!"philosophy in product development to "what would you like us to do?" You have taken the time to ask your potential users what they want - and you have listened. The result is not only a product that is unique and desirable but also an impressive head-start in customer relations.
