We're happy to announce the release of our latest iPhone app, a pace calculator and customer engagement app for the Naperville Running Company called "NRC Runner".
You can download the app today on iTunes. Here's what the app can do:
- Pace Calculator that lets you either tell the app your desired distance and anticipated time to calculate a pace, or key in a desired distance and pace to determine how long your run will take.
- Events Calendar that keeps you up to date on the events Naperville Running Company sponsors and participates in throughout the year, so you can join the fun.
- Special offers, store news and sale information so you can stay up to date with your favorite running store.
Here at KeyLimeTie, we take our running competitions seriously—so seriously that we just completed the MC 200 Madison to Chicago 200-mile relay a few weeks ago. Naperville Running Company is our one-stop shop for all the gear we need, and we're thrilled to work with them on the app.
Let us know what you think!

We're happy to announce the launch of a new web site for our friends at the Naperville Running Company. They're a great running shop in downtown Naperville and they've made quite a name for themselves. Not only do they sell a wide range of running supplies, they host regional races and have even been selected as the #1 running store in the country by Formula4Media, hosts of the 2009 Running Event trade show.
This isn't just any other client for us, though. Here's the backstory:
Tracy and me during the MC200.
Last summer I was in a pinch to find the right shoes to run 20 of the 200 miles in the MC200 relay from Madison to Chicago. KeyLimeTie had a team and I had just bitten the racing bug. Their store was the only store to take the time to get to know me, my running history and my goals when they sold me a pair of shoes.
This year, Naperville Running Company turned to us to build them a new web site. We're quite happy with the results, and are glad they are too (especially because Team KeyLimeTie will be needing a lot of running gear for this year's MC200 race)! Also, be on the lookout for the Naperville Running Company iPhone application in the iTunes store at the beginning of June.
Legendary Chicago and suburban sandwich shop Pop's Italian Beef & Sausage came to KeyLimeTie when the company needed a new web site. They wanted a site that visually communicated the BIG taste of their adored sandwiches, and KeyLimeTie served up just what they ordered.
The new Pop's Italian Beef site proudly displays their classic features bold visuals with their featured items and provides an updated motif around their classic logo, bringing Frank Radochonski's vision up-to-date on the web. As fans of Pop's Italian Beef ourselves, we're thrilled with the opportunity to give them a fresh look online.
In support of their continued focus on green initiatives, Sloan Valve contracted KeyLimeTie to design and develop a Water Savings Calculator for the iPhone platform. We’re pleased to announce the app is now available through the iTunes App Store as the team at Sloan heads to Phoenix, AZ to exhibit at the GreenBuild Conference & Expo, where former Vice President Al Gore will be delivering the keynote address.
Sloan shared with us their desire to bring this unique utility app to the iPhone so that architects, engineers, and contractors who select plumbing fixtures will be informed of the water savings—both financial and volume—that Sloan products provide over industry benchmarks. KeyLimeTie used this information to develop a simple iPhone application that allows users to enter criteria about a building and its occupants, along with preferred Sloan fixtures. The app then generates statistical information regarding the amount of water and money that can be saved by utilizing the selected Sloan products.
This unique mobile application makes this information easily accessible in the field, and reinforces Sloan’s position as a leader in ecological building practices.
Sloan will be exhibiting the iPhone app this week at the GreenBuild Conference & Expo. Congratulations, Sloan, on the release. KeyLimeTie is honored to have been a part of this project.
