Ecommerce Specialists
what is ecommerce?
Ecommerce is simply the process of selling products and services via the internet. As a part of Retail Sales Data, Ecommerce has been growing steadily since the mid-late 1990’s, trailing the internet boom by only a few years. Despite early stumbles and mistaken beliefs that led to the bursting of the Dot-Com bubble in the early 2000’s, E-commerce is now in a much more stable (and understood) market position. Moving into e-commerce is possibly one of the smartest decisions that any retail company can make in this day and age – the internet is only getting bigger and with a greater amount of revenue moving through online channels it makes sense to supplement physical shopping outlets with virtual.
ecommerce business models
A lot of companies succeed using a business model with Ecommerce systems at its core. Removing a customer facing environment allows the business to concentrate on product supply, marketing and gaining the loyalty of a wider range of customers who are able to shop at all hours of the day.
There are many e-Commerce models in existence: Single Channel ecommerce websites linked to integrated back end systems, eBay Store Selling , Amazon Marketplace Listings and Multichannel Web businesses. Advansys are experts in building and integrating the systems needed for any business and we are capable of producing the specialist software required when business models are not supported by off the shelf products.
retail vs ecommerce
Many businesses contemplate reducing their retail operations in favour of an ecommerce solution others begin as eCommerce businesses with the intention of creating enough of a brand name that they can open a retail location. Each route has is positive aspects and unlike many eCommerce companies, Advansys support retail business just as strongly as we do eCommerce because we see both channels as valid and useful to your business. We do not see that there is conflict between Retail and Ecommerce but that each channel you add to your company’s sales, providing it is financially viable, is useful.
