eCommerce

Our eCommerce capabilities can move that purchase decision up from the retail floor to your customer’s browser. This works perfectly for durable goods sold through independent retail dealers…think appliances, lawn and garden equipment, outdoor power equipment and more. We call it “collaborative commerce” because the brand manufacturer and dealer collaborate to close the sale. The sales process starts on the brand website, where a consumer chooses a product and accessories, then a local dealer and finishes the checkout process.
