goods, designed for both pure Internet-only ventures and established
bricks-and-mortar businesses alike. ICIS offers a semi-bespoke
e-commerce solution which allows merchants to manage an online
store both quickly and easily. Each ICIS store is built on
a tried-and-tested core framework which delivers secure transactions,
proven reliability, fast performance and flexible growth,
coupled with a completely unique and individual storefront
design that reinforces your existing brand and is specifically
tailored to your market and your customers.
The key features are:

· Search Engine friendly, full marketing facilities
· Suitable for B2C, B2B and E-Procurement environments
· Comprehensive report and marketing analysis
· Full online management facilities
The basis of our proposal is an e-commerce
solution that will enable visitors to buy goods online through
your website. The website will use the traditional ‘shopping
basket’ model to handle the browsing and buying process,
whereby customers can casually add items to their shopping
basket until they are ready to place their order. When ready,
they can proceed to the checkout to arrange delivery and enter
their credit card details securely.
Technology
Our software is built upon Microsoft .NET technology.
This provides a fast and robust platform for our system and
allows us to easily develop and rollout our planned range
of upgrades and add-ons.
Product Catalogue
To facilitate fast and simple browsing of your various
product lines by your customers all these items will be compiled
into a structured product catalogue which is divided into
levels of categories and sub-categories. The catalogue structure
will be entirely configurable through an online control panel
and each category can be assigned a photograph to help users
identify them when browsing through the catalogue. Each individual
product can have an unlimited number of variants, such as
size, colour, and so on, with their own prices and up to five
related products can also be suggested to the customer.
Order Processing
Once the customer is ready to order and has added
all the items with the correct quantities to their shopping
basket they can proceed to the checkout. At the checkout stage
they will be asked to confirm their order and once they do
a breakdown will be emailed to you and a confirmation will
also be sent to the customer. After the order has been placed,
first time customers can choose to register with the website
so that their details will be remembered for next time Credit
Card Processing
Customers will be able to pay by credit or debit
card. Card details are captured by a secure third-party payment
gateway which then submits them to your acquiring bank for
authorisation. Accepted payments are then remitted to your
merchant account after a few days once the order has been
shipped and the order process is complete. These payment gateways
charge for their services on a per transaction basis. We will
help you select the most suitable UK payment gateway for your
business by looking at your expected trading volume and turnover
through the website to determine the most cost-effective pricing
plan.
Order History
Customers will be able to review the history of past online
orders they have made through the website, looking at when
they were placed and the contents and status of each order.
Benefits
One of the biggest benefits of our software is its ease of
operation with simple additional solutions that are under
continual development, which let you expand the functionality
of your online store as and when your business grows.
Inventory
The inventory solution builds upon the basic in-stock/out-of-stock
indicator for each product line held in the system by allowing
real-time stock levels to be uploaded from your internal stock
control system to show more precise stock level information
to the customer.
Currency
The currency solution lets you sell more effectively to overseas
markets which trade in currencies other than the pound. The
solution lets you do one of two things: use automatic currency
conversion using daily exchange rates to show prices in the
local currency; or transact directly in local currencies using
a bureau service such as WorldPay or using additional foreign
currency merchant accounts.
Language
The language solution lets you display the entire website
in one or more foreign language, including buttons, messages,
navigation aids and content. Translations can be cut and pasted
into the online content management system. Funding is usually
available from UK Trade & Invest to assist with obtaining
the required translations.
International
You can save money by purchasing the Currency and
Language Packs together.
Merchandising
The merchandising solution enhances your
store with an array of marketing tools to promote cross selling
and up selling of your products
Best Sellers
Prominently display the top 5 or 10 best
selling product lines on your website, updated automatically
every day or week
What’s New
Publicise new products added to your website
instantly on the homepage with little or no effort
Product Bundles
Package together groups of products to
suit your needs.
Customer Reviews
Let customers add their own review to
each product and give it a rating out of 5
Recently Viewed List
Each individual customer sees a reminder of the products they
have recently viewed on the website so they can easily return
to them for another look
Affiliates Pack
The affiliates pack lets you set up an
advertising campaign with other websites who sign up to your
affiliates programme and you pay each affiliate a revenue
share based on any sales they generate for your website.
