The Sens Store, Canada launched RMS integrated web shops on 24seven Cart

The company

SensStore, Canada is one of the leading store which offers widest selection of the Ottawa Senators products, from apparels, jerseys to memorabilia and collectibles for all. This merchandise store offers full range of customized products and items designed for true Sens fans.

From a store at Scotia bank Place offering products and other merchandise of Ottawa senators at Gate 1 where the all started, it has now catapulted itself to become a major web store. 24SevenCart e-commerce application has helped Sens Store to offer exclusive men’s and ladies apparels, 70 different styles of hats, Sparty apparel, mini sticks and plush for kids of all ages through web.

Ottawa Senators fans say “earlier we use to buy the stuff for our team and supporters from the stores at the eve of matches. Now we can easily order our favorite collection and products online.”

Challenges

Being a leading store for a reputed NHL team Ottawa senators, we have to always take care of the merchandise options and apparels which can be customized as fans demands changes gradually in every league season and fan following increases and demand for apparels with name of the star player also changes.

We always had to keep the inventory and stock into check before any major league season and for people who used to have memorabilia and collectibles throughout the year. A fully fledged website which showcased the availability of products in the Sens Store was hosted which displayed vital information of the jerseys, apparels, memorabilia, head wear, novelty and gift cards.

Before using 24SevenCart, we never realized that we can expand our store through web and can use it as an effective medium to reach out with fans. To grow as a leading merchandising store, we have to use useful e-commerce application which can handle our major product sales. We have to evolve as a better merchandise store with changing scenario and product demand. The data generated from the application helped us to track the demand generated for particular products and what other services we can add to the web store.

Solution

Sens Store has a genuine fan following for its products and apparels and we have to devise solutions to provide better and effective services to the users keeping in mind the enthusiasm of the fans that how they like to be associated with the team.

It is not a conventional ecommerce store which required a specific point of sale to target customers and keep track of them. It was more than a store in sense of products as people tend to have some specific requirement to showcase that they really love their team and can go far way to support them.

We were looking out for solution which can not only track down our stocks and inventory but also use our available facilities and web presence to charter a growth and expansion plan for us. We have to accommodate the huge database of the products and create a web store which can provide solutions in simple steps.

After a lot of deliberation we contacted 24SevenCart for solution and they offered specific and customized solution which preserved our identity as merchandise seller and presented our products to our users as a high end web store.

Easy to install

Installation of 24SevenCart integrated web solution was much easier than our expectations. 24Seven Cart and Microsoft dynamic RMS expansive features and flexibility added all the vital features in our Retail Management Store database which seemed a daunting task a while ago.

Their rich experience in providing solutions for such stores helped us to use our previously hosted website as an e-commerce platform which we earlier used as an online catalogue to promote and showcase our products.

24seven cart helped us to develop two sites intranet enabled and internet enabled respectively with two different RMS links. These sites were designed to communicate and transfer data with a common shared RMS data which stored all the information related to the inventory, order, stock, shipping and others.

Integration

The sites developed using the RMS link using 24Seven Cart were hosted by clients themselves as it become more familiar and simple for them to use this solution. 24sevencart and Microsoft RMS are so well linked with each other that one can easily upload all the details of the products and images in the application and create templates which will make the visual communication of the products easier and enhance navigation experience over the site.

Customization

24SevenCart not only offered us a customized solution but also helped us to offer our clients customized solutions. Our customer who uses the web store can order customized products through our website which has been made possible by 24SevenCart e-commerce application. This service has improved our customer interaction and they are designing their merchandise themselves.

Benefits

24SevenCart enabled our web store to communicate with or fans in different manner and propped us in a different league of merchandise providers. Now days it’s easy to use the web store to buy apparels and memorabilia which can be shipped to home directly.

The daily maintenance which we have to keep on to track the inventory and products in the store is now easier after using the 24SevenCart application as a common RMS links helps to upgrade the database for both physical and online retail store.

The cost effectiveness of this ecommerce application and the expansive tech support provided by the 24Seven Cart makes it more viable than other applications.

Inbuilt SEO methodology enabled our new web store to locate products easily and display over the internet more prominently.

Secured payment gateways were installed by 24SevenCart in our web store which takes care of all types of secure online transactions.

Online shopping cart can be used to buy a mix of products at one move and users can register themselves which enables us to keep track of our loyal customers.

A host of features are offered by 24SevenCart to make an online web store more effective and vibrant.

24SevenCart is now available with Sage Payment Gateway

LAN Services integrates SagePay in their Microsoft Dynamics RMS integrated online store solution system

Success of an online retail business is all about offering the most user-friendly and secured mean of shopping. At the same, the online retailer should provide adequate options for shoppers from different demography and locations. In a shopping cart, the availability of different shipping carriers and payment gateways make the life easier for the online retailer. LAN Services, the Californian Microsoft Dynamics RMS shopping cart provider, has integrated Sage Payment Gateway so that its online retailer clients can now use Sage’s online payment processing system.

“Last year we started our operations in the UK and Europe considering the immense possibilities of an RMS integrated online store market there,” said Mr. Anil Jindal, the CEO and President of LAN Services, LLC, “The market response has been great. We already have retailers using 24SevenCart retail store solution in West Port in Ireland and also in London and Birmingham. It is important that we provide all the features that a UK-based retailer needs.”

24SevenCart online store solution already comes with 50+ payment gateways. The idea is to provide the retailer all the flexibilities and customized options to run a retail business meeting the needs of the online shoppers of his/her products only. Integrated regional settings, custom shipping module, various payment gateways (Sage Payment Solutions and St. George for UK-based and Australian retailers respectively) are a collective approach towards providing a feature-rich online store solution that targets the global online retail market.

“When we say our solution is 100% customizable, we literally mean it,” said Mr. Jindal. “We are ready to provide any feature that a retailer may need to augment their revenue growth. Integration of various payment gateways and shipping carriers, gives the retailer options to opt for the service of their choice. As for Sage, it is one of the most popular payment gateways serving 140,000 companies and we are happy that our retailers can use this payment gateway,” He added.

The Microsoft Dynamics RMS shopping cart market has already witnessed the success of LAN Services and its rapid growth towards garnering a better market share. Surely, the online retailers using Dynamics RMS will enjoy the fruits of constant innovation that this company brings forth through 24SevenCart online store solution.

Website Development Process

Designing a website is a process, a process that we have mastered over the years. This allows us to do what we do best and allows you to do what you do best. As we move forward from a concept to design to a product you are in control.

Development Process

Initial Consultation: During this initial consultation, we discuss your goals, expectations and the targeted audience. We also layout a road map of the entire process. We begin to collect your artwork, content, logos or any other graphics you may already have. If you prefer, we can design the graphics and logos for you. we also get you to fill out a questionnaire which helps us in understating your requirements.

Design Mockup: Once we have enough information to begin, two sample Homepages are created for your approval. A navigation map is also designed. We continue to work on these samples until we have your full approval. Once a Home page is approved, we design the sub-page samples and get approved.

Prototype: We will post the entire mock up web site for your private viewing. Prototypes include all graphics and text but allow for clients to make minor modifications. All pages will be fully navigable. Graphics will have been optimized for fast loading. Web pages will be designed to fit the typical users screen.

Site Testing: We will test the entire site in both Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers to ensure all components are working correctly. The web site will be available for your private viewing on our server. We will solicit your final approval before publishing your web site to the Internet.

Marketing: At no additional cost to you, we optimize all the web pages for search engines. For a small fee, we can also design banners for you.

Web site Maintenance: To keep your customers coming back, a site must be updated on a regular basis. This service is available on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or as needed basis, and can be purchased in advance with substantial savings. If you purchase our Web Solution, we maintain your site free of cost.

Search Engine Optimization: Everyone wants to be at the top of the search engines. It takes more than just registering your site once with the various search engines. It requires consistent updates to your keywords, meta tags, and text of your website and re-registration with the search engine. Also, Search engines change their methods of operation and how they rank sites.

Domain Name Registration: Once a site has been designed, you need a domain name. A domain name is your electronic address. It is the best way for people to find you. It is typically www.YourCompanyName.com either you can register it yourself, or we can register it for you. We charge $15 per domain per year.

Going Live: Now that you have a custom website designed, optimized for search engines and purchased a domain name, it is time to go live. Either we can host your site or you can host it with any one else - choice is yours.

24sevencart Multi-Store Version: A Dream Comes True For Online Retailers

A multi-store ecommerce solution for RMS can synchronize individual store POS systems along with RMS HQ in such a way that you get the power to server almost any order made online.

With your business, your worries grow too. You have a one-shop retail business; you run it through a simple POS system. You start selling more and you take Microsoft Dynamics RMS to run the business. With RMS on board now, you take the store online with an ecommerce RMS integration solution and you start selling as if there is no tomorrow to buy! You now think of expanding to other cities, other localities. You start managing multiple stores.

Consider another situation - a quite simpler one. You are already BIG, you have dozen different stores across three different states, and you are selling pretty hard. What you need now? Of course, a multi-store version of your RMS - what else? You get a multi-store version, get it set up on your headquarter, synchronize all the individual POS at each store and you are automated. Smart work, isn’t it?

But think about your online store. Instead of one, you have now 12 different places to look for a single product, with 12 different quantities. Isn’t it amazing for your business? Well, not quite, if you don’t have the right system in place. Let’s suppose you are selling a product XYZ through your ‘chain’ of retail store and the individual stock in all 12 stores are not more six; but at the online store, the stock will be say – 50. Walks in your happy customer and generously orders 10 out of the lot and pays. Now comes the problem; no store has more than six items and you have to ship ten; no store individually can serve the order! In fact, a true ecommerce RMS integration solution (like 24SevenCart) can only solve this issue with order-split facility. Unlike much other ecommerce solution for RMS, in such a situation, the one with order split facility will give you unprecedented flexibility to generate multiple sub-orders and process each order individually.

Unleashing the true power of a headquarter-based application is in ecommerce RMS synchronization. You take your web store and synchronize it with ecommerce RMS integration using a multi-store version; only then, you can make the true use of your entire system and start giving your customers flexible option. The result – 35% more profits as compared to any ordinary ecommerce solution for RMS that merely ‘connects’ the head quarter only.

Being big is not always troublesome and for a retailer with multiple stores is not at all a problem provided you have the right solution in place to support you. The smart way is to optimize your resources, make the most out of your product, and continuously keep on ‘satisfying’ your customers. The secret is in maneuvering your tools in such way that you do not miss anything. Needless to say, flexible multi-store version of an ecommerce RMS synchronization application is one such business app that can go with you a long way.

Microsoft Ecommerce Store: Your Gateway To Success

Microsoft Ecommerce Store: Your Gateway To Success

The hallmark of a successful retail business is in its use of technology. What point of sale system you are using, whether you and your employees are IT efficient or not and finally, if you are selling online through an integrated process. Use of technology in the retail business is a necessity these days so that you can augment your sales and remain ahead in the completion all through the year. Microsoft Retail management system is one such application that can take your business to places and to give new wings to your retail business, you may go for a Microsoft dynamics RMS cart application.
Microsoft dynamics RMS cart is usually a complete shopping cart system that integrates Dynamics RMS and your ecommerce store. The whole application is developed on .NET platform (although this can be done on PHP as well); through a web integrator (that generates and reads XML files), the Microsoft ecommerce cart communicates with Dynamics RMS running at the retailer’s end. The web integrator uploads your product details from your RMS to the Microsoft ecommerce store and once orders are passed, the same web integrator can help you to download the orders from your Microsoft ecommerce cart to the retail management system. The whole process can be either manually controlled or completely automated. Depending upon the frequency of orders and the state of your inventory, the stock updating and order download processes can be scheduled and can be maintained in almost real-time.

The top benefits of Microsoft ecommerce cart are as follows:

• To manage a Microsoft dynamics RMS cart application you do not need to maintain two separate work forces. The same workforce who manages your retail store can also manage the Microsoft ecommerce store comfortably

• Both your brick-n-mortar store and the Microsoft ecommerce cart are served through Microsoft’s powerful Retail Management System resulting in flawless operations in all aspects of your retail business

• You can give any look you want to your Microsoft ecommerce store. Your customers will experience the same ease of movement and friendly environment while they shop.

• All your business figures are consolidated – your physical store and online sales. You no longer have to process your sales report separately and later collate everything in a painstaking way.

However, getting the right vendor for Microsoft ecommerce store is not so easy. There are not many in the market flexible enough to give you the right options/features to run your business. They may offer plenty of features; but at the end, it matters what you need for your online retail business and not what they offer. So, instead of offering a set of pre-made options, the Microsoft dynamics RMS cart provider should be capable of developing all the modules or options that you actually need. Above all, the vendor should not charge you a fortune for the solution; your Microsoft ecommerce cart system should be affordable too, besides being flexible.

Right Option For The Right Business

24SevenCart is not just a collection of modules and options. Options are there; all necessary features are given. But what makes 24SevenCart truly standout is its flexibility! We have a strong dev team in place that can create any module of your choice. The motto is not to serve the retail business as a whole; we want to serve specific business. If you have a wine store, use the features meant for wine storeowners only and not those for a cosmetics retailer. 24SevenCart RMS integrated web store has the right option for the right business.

Am I talking sales a lot? Well…I should talk about the product…I mean my 24SevenCart and how it can increase your revenue?

Increase Your Store Foot Traffic Through Your Online Store

The key behind getting continuous store foot traffic is in spreading the awareness of your products en masse. People SHOULD have visual ideas about your products, know the pricing, aware of any discount options, your credentials and above all, they should have the ‘feeling’ that you can serve them well. In a nutshell, to increase the foot traffic to your store, you will need to take your products to people. Now tell me, what best way can you think of other than using a flexible online store that would represent your retail business?

An online store powered by a custom shopping cart solution will not only help you to get huge additional sales, but it would spread the ‘word’ like wildfire also. Your online store can become the replica of your physical store on the web that people can easily access from home, from office, while travelling, from simply anywhere. People can check everything about your products online and would simply walk into your store to buy. Forget those “do-you-have-that” questions from your potential customers; they would already know that you have the right product for them! Now tell me – isn’t that what you want for your business?
