Ecommerce

Ecommerce

In most cases, ecommerce refers to online shopping and websites such as Amazon and Ebay.

It's no secret that high-street shops are finding it more and more difficult to survive in the face of such strong competition from online shops. The benefits are clear:

• You don't need to pay out for shop assistants and there is no need to rent high street premises!
• Your website can be viewed from anywhere in the world that has internet access, thereby increasing opportunities for sales
• Your website can stay open for 24/7, meaning you can take orders in the evening and on weekends, which is the most convenient shopping time for many people

Whether you're selling tangible goods such as books or TVs, or intangible goods such as software or ebooks, we can provide a bespoke solution for you.

Sales Floor

We can offer many of the facilities and advanced techniques found on the big online shops such as amazon.co.uk and play.com, including:

• Featured products - promote particular products on the home page, as selected by you
• Best sellers - automatically produce a list of the best-selling products on the site and display them anywhere on the site. This is all done on the fly so there is no human intervention necessary!
• Flash product integration - incorporate a selection of products into a Flash animation
• Related products - display associated purchases next to particular products
• Recommendations - identify trends in user activity and recommend relevant products
• Voucher codes - offer discounts to customers either on individual items or on the order total

Back Office

One of the major benefits of an ecommerce website is the automation of back office tasks that may previously have been done with pen and paper!

Order notifications are emailed to you and all order information is stored in your admin area, meaning you no longer need to rely on filing cabinets and slips of paper!

We can automate a number of different back office tasks to make your life easier, such as:

• Print postage labels
• Print picking slips
• View/print invoices
• Export a list of email addresses for marketing purposes
• Search the entire database of users/orders instantly
• Add, amend or remove voucher codes
