There are dozens of ecommerce solutions that exists today that are both off-the-shelf and custom built. While it requires sound technical know how to design and implement an ecommerce solution, the real differentiation we believe is the ability of the “e” to significantly increase the value of the “commerce”. Let us elaborate:
The "e" of course refers to all the technological components involved in facilitating different tasks. These typically include:
Inventory management
Data collection and interchange
Supply chain management
Transaction processing
Marketing
Customer service
While cutting time and cost (due to the virtual and fast electronic processing of all tasks) is the most basic benefit that the 'e' brings to commerce, there is a lot more to it that is visible.
In implementing large scale ecommerce solutions, we found that each component of technology actually has the potential to dramatically alter the very business model, scope and scale of a business that has no parallel in the commerce without the "e".
In the choice and design of both the hardware and software, it is possible to fine tune each component so as to gain surprising advantages in almost every stage from production to sales to shipping of products and education to licensing to fulfillment of services.
The additional service we provide is that we recognize that ecommerce does not replace several offline tasks that can effectively contribute to the overall business. And hence we suggest ways to deploy our ecommerce solutions that complements conventional commerce activities. After all, no amount of technology can replace a warm smile, c'est ne pas?
