Whilst the credit crunch is having a negative impact on the High Street, many online retailers have prepared themselves for a more confident Christmas period and beyond by deploying the Intoscape eCommerce platform, www.intoscape.com and the Intoscape Competitive Monitoring Console.
With High Street stores recently recording their worst sales figures for three years, much focus has been placed on the way in which online retailing appears to be bucking the trend.
According to Steve Willock, Managing Director of Total Commerce Management who produce Intoscape, "Many online retailers saw that the writing was on the wall at the beginning of the year and they know more than anyone how to survive on lean margins and low overheads. Those that are switching to even greater levels of automation offered by the Intoscape system are now reaping rewards."
Total Commerce Management's Intoscape eCommerce platform applies innovative new levels of automation to processes central to online businesses. By implementing Intoscape, TCM customer, www.it247.com, an SCC plc company, now manages over 500,000 available lines, with changing availability from multiple virtual supply sources in addition to the group's own stock. IT247's Intoscape applications suite monitors competitor prices and stock, and sets sales pricing automatically for the online store, whilst synchronising with all back office finance, logistics and procuremetn associated with the high volume retail operation.
