Shopping Cart Software:
ezStore123 ®: A new product for a real economy!
This high-end e-commerce software suite leverages today's technology and
is fully dialed-in for the future. Traditional 'shopping carts' were
designed in the early days of the internet and currently suffer from their
own success. Their large customer base has stifled innovation in the
interest of backward compatibility. When our customers demanded features
available only to the custom-designed system powering the largest
e-commerce web sites, we could not find any solution on the market that
could emulate the needed functionality and still stay within their IT
budgets. So we built our own. But in doing so, we approached e-commerce in
a novel yet 'tried and true' manner. As our CPA told us: "A 'shopping cart' is
simply an internet-based order entry system with marketing frills
added". So we built our solution this way, with a CPA's mindset, a
Marketing Director's methodology and an internet-centric,
'connect-everything' mentality, not to mention leading-edge technology and
a truly neurotic attention
to details!
Yes, your web site can sell more and better!
But don't take our word for it, go see for

With the ezStore123 shopping cart, we have broken new grounds on many levels:
Power, reliability, scalability:
Designed from the ground up to sustain the busiest ecommerce web
sites, our e-commerce suite takes full advantage of the SQL Server technology to
provide merchants with virtually unlimited scalability as well as an
integration path with their SQL-based accounting system or other enterprise
shopping cart software.
High Security:
Full SSL 128 bit support, proprietary encryption of sensitive
data, triple security layer and 'anti-hacking' features with automatic
reporting of suspicious activity. Administration module designed to run on
secure connection.
Flexibility:
Whether you sell appliances, clothing, books, CDs, vitamins or
even services or concert tickets, we can handle your e-business.
In fact some customers have seen their sales increase by up to
250% by
switching to ezStore123! Not only does the built-in flexibility make your
life easier, it also makes your customers happier.
Built-in Marketing features:
Comes complete with cross-selling, time-sensitive promotions &
coupons, internet affiliates, e-book affiliates and other advanced
affiliate programs, customer rewards system (we call it
FrequentSurfer) as well as built-in HTML bulk e-mail generation by customer
activity date range, country and/or state, but no spam! We applied the
highest ethics to the bulk e-mail system. E-mails will not be sent to
customers that have indicated they don't want to receive promotional
material.
Advanced shipping options:
We were offering UPS real-time quotes when it was not yet
fashionable. But we did not stop there: we created the 'virtual box'
concept allowing shipping quotes to be as low as possible. ezStore123 also
supports flat shipping, shipping by weight, differential shipping by
weight ranges and surcharge for bulky items. We even enable you to offer
your customers free shipping over a given order amount by country and/or
state (or global). The system also support UPS and other carriers'
tracking numbers so that your customers can easily track their packages.
Advanced graphical reporting:
Actually, the title above should read both 'advanced reporting'
and 'advanced graphical reporting'... Your site activity report can be
converted into a 3D bar chart at the touch of a button, making
'trend-spotting' a snap. Naturally, you can choose to report by day, week
or month, at your convenience. And you also can track your 'hit-to sale'
ratio!
Integration:
We have all but eliminated the rigid and complex demands other
shopping cart providers place on web designers. Instead, we built a
simple interface to the e-commerce system and made the shopping cart a
real 'chameleon', capable of emulating just about any look and feel. So
your graphic artists can express themselves with few limitations and your
e-commerce web site can truly reflect your company's web identity. Our
'sell-everywhere' feature (EZLink) only requires a 2-line code snippet to
be inserted into any HTML page to turn it into a selling device!
Productivity & Piece Of Mind:
The system is offered as a Managed ECommerce Service (MerchantComplete) hosted by
//digital things or members of our Authorized Reseller Hosting Program and
is automatically monitored and upgraded without your involvement. All software
upgrades are free and deployed automatically.
B2B Capabilities:
A B2B version of the shopping cart software has been released Nov 2002. It will
include enhanced support for complex shipping, customer group-based
pricing, shipping & promotions as well as data mining capabilities and
full integration with carriers offering internet-based services.
An eye on the future:
A Windows Server 2003 (.NET) version is planned for release by Q4 2003. The new system will,
in addition to provide enhanced flexibility and performance, include
e-commerce support for PDA and cellular phone platforms.
A Powerful Synergy:
Combined with our MerchantComplete concept of
professional-grade, high-availability and personalized e-commerce service
plans, ezStore123 will place you on the internet map and - better yet -
keep you there!
DigiConnect:
We believe in outsourcing! In this
particular case, our product leverages the power of the UPS WorldShip
system. Implemented as a Common Object Module (COM), this ActiveX
component cooks! It can process up to 130,000 shipping rate quotes a day
and fully supports all shipping options. The shipping rate quote is
returned as text that can be easily parsed by any ASP, Perl, Java, Visual
Basic, Visual C++ or Delphi application. Following UPS policy, you must have
a UPS account in order to use this component. DigiConnect is distributed with ezStore123 under the conditions specified above.

Custom
Development & Outsourced IT Services
Project Outsourcing:
Let's be blunt: few companies can
afford a fully staffed IT department complete with system programmers,
application programmers, software architects and database designers, not
to mention the indispensable testing & documentation specialists,
database administrators and network gurus. And even if you have a fairly
significant IT department, those heroic guys are on probably on the brink
of a nervous breakdown trying to satisfy your users' requests! In our
experience, companies trying to build in-house custom solutions eventually
encounter one (or more) of the following problems:
* The software 'creator' moves on with her/his career, leaving a legacy
system undocumented and/or incomplete.
* The system is successfully implemented but its scope and scalability are
limited and cannot accommodate changes without successive (and expensive)
'rewrite' cycles.
* The project becomes a 'white elephant' and consumes all available IT
resources until someone from the top 'cans' it and the company is back to
square one.
* The IT department purchases a monster, off-the-shelf, 'do-it-all'
software package and spends valuable time and resources trying to live
with its quirks and limitations, while users' needs are not being met.
This is why we specialize in custom software development and have a highly
trained staff that can sense your technology needs but also (and
primarily) will listen to the 'business side' in order to deliver a full
solution. We fully document all software delivered and even provide
training and empowerment to your IT staff, so you will not be locked in a
dependant position. We love repeat business, but only when it comes from
satisfied customers...
As for our Managed ECommerce Business Solutions, we provide custom hosting
solutions with guarantee of system maintenance,
monitoring and upgrade.
System Architecture & Database
Design:
Our system architect and database
designer-in-chief (and President & CEO) has over 16 years experience
in this domain with an advanced database design certification from Sybase.
He also has a passion and a knack for turning business requirements into
technical specifications and by his own words prefers to deal with 'a
problem in search of a solution' rather than a 'solution in search of a
problem'. We have successfully designed and implemented complex databases
for Fortune 500 giants as well as more modest companies.
Programming Services:
ASP, C++, NT and VB, B2B and B2C,
Java and black coffee, VHS & Betamax, we do it all and when we can't
do it, we find someone that can in our wide network of technical partners.
If all else fails, we will tell you frankly 'we don't do that' and will
try to refer you to a reputable company (even a competitor). We pour our
heart and soul into any of our projects and will not be satisfied with
sub-standard results.
Graphical Design:
In order to serve you better, we
have partnered with graphical artists of various styles and experience in
order to cover most graphical design requests. We always manage our
consultants and will never have you bear that burden, your time is too
precious for that.
Hosting Solutions:
If quasi-direct connection to the
internet backbone, multiple T3 capability, guaranteed bandwidth and 99%+
uptime is your concern, we will put together for you a hosting package
that will correspond to your needs. And we will make sure that your
company is treated as a client, not as another IP address on an anonymous
network, thanks to our close alliances with professionals that still
believe in 'old-fashioned' service.
