Hitcents founders Chris and Clinton Mills started their technology careers early in life. As children, the twin brothers had a knack for taking apart their toys and analyzing them.

In 1994, the twins received their first computer. They began to learn the internal workings, as well as the programming side, of a basic computer.

In 1996, as seventh graders, they went to work for a company designing Visual Basic programs to monitor machinery with optic eye systems and conveyor belts. That year, they also created their first webpage.

As high school sophomores, Chris and Clinton started Hitcents, a company focusing on internet advertising. To adjust to the ever-changing technology market, Hitcents has been reinvented several times to best meet the ends of their clients and to stay ahead in the technology industry.

Today, Hitcents provides innovative and insightful solutions in the areas of eCommerce development, computer technology, internet marketing, creative design, software innovation, video production, and automation systems to clients with a primary focus on customer service. Hitcents subsidiaries include Utopia Self Scan (a partnership with Pan Oston); Omniprise ERP Systems and EyeOn Automation.

EyeOn Automation controls lighting, climate, audio/video, security, surveillance, and other electronics in residential homes and commercial offices. These "smart buildings" have proven to be energy efficient and create more comfortable environments. The EyeOn has gone beyond technology of the past by networking all systems with one server and alleviating the need for several controllers. This has resulted in Hitcents becoming a leader in the smart building business.

EyeOn Automation system was first on display in the 2005 Parade of Homes. It is now being implemented in several homes and businesses, including the new Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce building on Circus Square in Bowling Green.
