What sets us apart from our competition? Among other things it's our ability to listen to our clients and their shoppers and to act on enhancement opportunities they identify. In fact, our best ideas come from shoppers.

• Non-Traditional, Database Driven Payment Methods.
  In addition to accepting checks, money orders and all major credit cards, we offer online store shoppers the option of paying for purchases using payroll deduction, purchase orders, co-op funds, electronic gift certificates or award credits. Shoppers may elect to use one or several of these payment options simultaneously. Each option is controlled by a set of business rules that you provide which are incorporated in a payment controlled database. This provides shoppers virtually unlimited choice and you the assurances that the parameters you establish to control purchases are adhered to rigidly.

• SASS™
  Our exclusive SASS™ System (Selective Access Segmentation System) offers the ultimate in targeted e-marketing. Using user id and password controlled gateways, shopper groups can be segmented so that customized store offerings can be made available selectively. As a simple example, let's say you want to make e-store merchandise available to both employees and your customers, but want employees to get a broader selection and better pricing. Entry to the employee store would be limited to those individuals with an authorized employee id and password at logon. More sophisticated SASS™ applications involve the creation of multiple segments within diverse employee, customer or channel partner audiences with custom store offerings for each segment.
  
  
• Comprehensive Reporting
  One of the keys to an effective e-commerce operation is the availability of store performance data. Knowing who's buying, where they come from, what they're spending and the items that are selling the best is vital to a successful merchandising process. We have a comprehensive reporting capability that provides us with the information we need to make informed decisions about what and how much to buy and how to price and position it. This ensures a pleasurable online shopping experience and return shoppers.
