“The smartTOUCH GDO™ is currently available exclusively at Home Depot stores across the country and initial sales of the units are going very well,” said Lorraine Yarde, Chief Operating Officer for bioMETRX, Inc. “We have received significant follow on orders in the last month since the product has been on the shelves, and expect sales to consistently increase as we get closer to the holidays,” noted Ms. Yarde. “Our smartTOUCH™ products are so smart, they work by recognizing the user.
