e-Commerce software solutions

e-Commerce solutions come in many different forms, styles, functionality, technologies and languages.

Each e-Commerce system has advantages and disadvantages, from 'Off the shelf solutions' to bespoke developed solutions, each offers different e-Commerce options.

'Off the shelf' e-Commerce solution software systems

The advantages of some off the shelf software solutions are obvious, the main being the cost, these systems are cheap to purchase and easy to install by competent web design companies, they have options to deal with most products and present the products to the browser in a standard way that sometimes follows the three click purchase rule, this rule being that from the location of the product to purchase should be simple and involve just three clicks.

These e-Commerce solutions due to their nature and market arena are developed to suit the widest audience, as such they can be difficult to administer for a beginner to a software application and being designed for a large number of product types they have very limited browser display capabilities due to the system displays being templates and unalterable.

Most of the software development companies do not allow the original files to be manipulated in any way, this means the system is not upgradeable and cannot be altered to suit the changes of a clients business. If the e-Commerce system at any stage does not suit the product or service being retailed then the solution and all of the initial investment is wasted.

Finally and most importantly the majority of these e-commerce systems do not support the search engine promotion campaigns that are so vital to get products in front of potential buyers.

Bespoke eCommerce solution software systems

The Bespoke solution for Website e-Commerce has many advantages over the 'off the shelf' e-Commerce solutions, this is where the system itself is developed solely for the clients company and it's products and or services, due to the nature of this solution the client may become actively involved in all aspects of the development, ensuring the image, shopping experience and process of the e-Commerce application suit the exact needs of their browser.

Because these systems are designed for a particular companies procedures, the managment of these systems is very simple as the features and the usage terminology of the administrator areas may be orientated to the clients own customer management style, and product type. These e-Commerce solutions are extremely fast and reliable as there is no need for anything other than the minimum code required for processing the small application to be uploaded to the server.

The choice of database is optional to the client, so Microsoft SQL may be used for incredibly fast data return speeds and the image of the website may be altered quickly and simply to suit the changing image of a client.

The code and future development of the application is completely versatile as the system may be built upon in modules, this means that new sections for email managers or stock control, message boards etc, may be added as and when required, so as the client expands or alters its product range the solution may be altered quickly and cost effectively.

And finally these e-Commerce systems can be incorporated into search engine friendly websites and be developed to be continuously search engine friendly allowing not only your website but also your products to be listed and highly ranked within the search engines.

'Pre developed' Bespoke e-Commerce solution software systems

Pre developed e-Commerce solution software has all the advantages and versatility of a bespoke e-Commerce solution but at a fraction of the cost, as it has been developed to allow for continuous change and is simple and quick to manipulate to a precise solution for a client it gives the advantages of versatility but not the 'start from scratch' costs.

Our pre developed ecommerce software solution has been designed and developed using a Microsoft technology called .Net. The advantages of developing a e-Commerce shopping cart in this technology are many, first and foremost the technology and languages used in the development are fast and reliable and the beauty of this system is that although the main application is pre developed, developed over 5 years using customer feedback as the guide, it is easy, quick and cost effective to manipulate the e-Commerce system to the exact requirements of our e-Commerce clients.

This solution gives several advantages, it means the initial solution is developed for the initial e-Commerce requirements but the e-Commerce software may then be continually developed for the individual need of the e-Commerce client, and due to the nature of the software and speed of development this reduces long term costs and offers a continuously upgradeable solution to match all our e-Commerce clients needs as and when they arise.

The systems are supplied as a internal application within a fully search engine optimised website, the website itself may be static or content managed to allow changes by your e-Commerce administrators instantly.

If investment has already been made and a website exists the e-Commerce system may be added simply and quickly to enable your website to begin trading.

Search engine promotion friendly e-Commerce websites

Why is it important to have a search engine friendly e-Commerce solution that lists products?

A large percentage of browsers search the search engines for products not just service types.

On average a person uses search engines 1.7 times a month and will search for an average of 12 minutes in the hope of finding their required items, with your products listed as well as a optimised website there is a much greater chance of your products being viewed and a high quality good practice website gives a much greater chance of your product then being ordered. The statistics below show just how much growth the internet online commerce market is enjoying.

Online World e-Commerce for B2B in 1999 was worth 145 billion, Gartner's predictions for B2B transactions, 2000 - 2004.
