KENDALL, England, October 8 /PRNewswire/ --
- `MotiveShop' eCommerce Software Combines Innovative Web Design and
Product presentation With Tightly Integrated Multi-Channel Fulfilment
Processes
Software development company, Motive Technology, has announced a new
release of `MotiveShop', its ecommerce software solution for the retail
sector - http://www.motiveshop.com . MotiveShop enables retailers to maximise
ecommerce revenues by being able to present visually dynamic, content-rich
product information to customers, whilst also extending sales reach and
increasing conversion values.
With each month bringing ever more dire figures from the high street, the
potential rewards on offer for the successful multi-channel retail strategy
are compelling. However, many retailers are now discovering, if ecommerce is
to become a significant revenue stream, fulfilment processes must be
integrated across channels and extend to after sales.
Andy Derrick, managing director of Motive Technology, explains, "Those
multi-channel retailers still relying on disjointed systems for high street
and online sales channels are suffering increasingly untenable costs,
significant stock and price inaccuracy and are unable to deliver key customer
services - such as reserve online and collect in store. With our MotiveShop
ecommerce software solution, retailers now have the opportunity to integrate
on and offline sales by driving online purchasers into stores to collect
their goods, thus providing another opportunity to sell. It therefore becomes
crucial to ensure consistency of message across all channels in terms of
product information, availability, price, product delivery and returns."
Derrick continues, "MotiveShop allows retailers to satisfy the
diversification of customer needs and provide a seamless service experience.
By combining innovative web design and product presentation with excellent
fulfilment processes, we can help multi-channel retailers to increase their
basket value, improve sales of relevant, high value accessories and feed
products to much larger audiences."
Derrick concludes, "Multi-channel retailers are now putting their online
sales channel centre stage, as high street sales continue to fall. However,
to achieve substantial sales growth and the best customer experience,
retailers must ensure effective multi-channel integration. From the use of
digital marketing for customer acquisition to cross and up-selling techniques
boosting average customer value, the multi-channel strategy requires that the
retailer can adapt in real-time to market conditions, and therefore it is
critical that its ecommerce software platform can support this."
`MotiveShop' ecommerce software - key features:
- Customisation: innovative design services are tailored to
the client's marketplace to engage customers and convert sales. Flexible
architecture also allows for easy integration of bespoke functionality.
- Extended Sales Reach: product datafeeds for all leading
affiliate networks and price comparison sites are built-in.
- Increased Conversion Values: up-selling via cross promotion
of similar products to encourage purchase of the `next model up', plus
automatic suggestion of relevant accessories all combines to create a
greater average basket value.
- Multi Brand: multiple sites can be managed through one
administration system - each brand with its own pricing, availability,
offers, promotions and data feeds.
- Flexible Product Catalogue: allows products to appear in
multiple categories across a website, all the places customers would
expect to find them, and also enables integrated promotional
opportunities that can be added to the main navigation structure.
- Rich Product Data: 3D imagery, zoom capable product pictures
and video help customers understand products and make informed purchasing
decisions.
- Scalability & Platform: proven reliability and a robust
architecture built around Microsoft asp.net and SQL Server 2005,
MotiveShop can scale to service the largest multi-channel/multi-brand
enterprise. Failover and redundancy can be built in with the exact
configuration being tailored to suit various websites' needs.
