Wireless technology developer gives permanent status to CEO – Philadelphia Business Journal
AirClic Inc. has removed the word “interim” from Tim Bradley’s title.
The Newtown company last month named Bradley CEO. He had been serving as interim CEO since October.
Prior to Bradley’s arrival, AirClic was run by two presidents: John Parker, who joined the company in 2000, and Peter Ritz, who helped found it in 1999.
Parker, who attended Dickinson College in Carlisle with Bradley nearly a quarter century ago, remains. Ritz has left his post as president but still has a stake in AirClic and serves as an adviser.
Prior to joining AirClic, Bradley was vice president of the Corporate Performance Management division of Cognos Inc., an Ottawa, Canada, software developer.
He said his experience there will serve him well at AirClic, whose software and services enable organizations to make life simpler for their field workers.
“The idea of automating a process and helping companies become more productive and more efficient and more effective in their processes is something that I’m very comfortable with,” Bradley said.
AirClic first planned to market itself to businesses that deal with consumers. Its founders envisioned a day when people would use bar-code readers attached to their mobile phones to do such things as reserve tickets for a concert by scanning a bar code in an ad for the concert.
That day never came. So AirClic now helps customers devise ways of using its software and services to track everything from people to packages, as well as eliminate paperwork for field employees.
For example, Spring Independent School District outside Houston uses an AirClic system to track students on 180 of its buses.
The Lower Merion School District tested a similar system, but has yet to implement it.
The school district applications fall under the public sector market, one of five AirClic is targeting. The other four are transportation, distribution, field service and construction.
