Ecommerce Software

Our 3ex.net Ecommerce Software is the only solution that allows you to take control of all of your online and offline business processes from within a single application, saving you time and money and allowing you to take real advantage of the web.

The Ecommerce website AND back office solution

With 3ex.net, your business will benefit from all the functionality that you would expect from a cutting edge Ecommerce platform, such as filtered searching, single page checkout and secure payment gateways (for a full list of functionality available on the 3ex.net Ecommerce plaform see our Guide Prices). The difference with the 3ex.net Ecommerce platform however is that it is uniquely integrated with the world's most flexible and function rich back office, ensuring that you have all the tools you need, to be able to deliver your online promises.

With 3ex.net, you will be able to manage your website content, your order processing, your purchasing and your financials, from within a single application. Product content management is also done in one place, through easy to use wizards, ensuring that pricing and promotional activities can be easily managed, without the need to maintain them in two seperate systems. For example, should you wish to create a promotional offer for use on your website and in a catalogue or off the page ad, you will only need to do this once and it will be instantly reflected on orders taken through your call centre and your website. Price changes, Dispatch Charges, offers, product sets etc will only ever need to be administered in one place, saving you time and money and removing the need for complex integrations.

As soon as one of your customer places an order through your 3ex.net website, that order will be live in your back office, with no need for any integration, imports / exports etc, which can be unreliable and costly. The customers order will be automatically handled by the back office, removing the need for any manual intervention whatsoever, from the point the order is placed online to the point it is ready to be picked. The integrated stock control system will even tell you where to pick it from. As your customer's order is moved through the system, the status of the order will be reflected on your website, so that your customer can be kept up to date at all times. Please see our Product Catalogue page for more details as to the extensive functionality available within the 3ex.net back office system.

3ex.net Ecommerce software seamlessly integrates all the functionality you would expect from a cutting edge web platform with critical back-office processes such as stock control, supply chain and customer relationship management, revolutionising the way you sell online. However, if you're just looking for a website and don't currenly need the extensive back office functionality which is available in 3ex.net, then that is absolutely fine. 3ex.net is still the best platform on the market for the management of your website and the open technology on which it sits ensures you can easily integrate with any other back office system. If in the the future, you decide to take advantage of one or all of the 3ex.net modules, then these can be easily switched on, allowing you to grow your business without ever having to change your platform.

It's All Yours

With minimal training, you will have ‘total sovereignty’ over your website. You will be equipped with the ability to launch and administer multiple Ecommerce websites, inlcuding their content, structure, external links, look and feel, with ease. This ‘window dressing’ capability allows you to keep your proposition fresh and is proven to increase traffic and visitor-to-buyer conversion rates.

Product Content Management

All the information you need to store regarding your products, incuding colours, sizes, prices, costs, suppliers, barcodes, supplier codes, web copy, measurements, technical specifications, user guides, etc, etc, can be fully maintained in the 3ex.net back office (see our Product Content Management Catalogue page for futher details), removing the need for expensive 3rd party content management software.

Any information that you choose to store against your products can be displayed on your website. As your website is truly integrated with your back office system, you will be able to display live stock information, again without the need for complex integration packages, imports / exports etc.

More speed, more conversion

Another major benefit is the Performance! When your website is running 3ex.net Ecommerce software, it is basically just an extension, or a different view of the logic and content database used by your back office. With no need for data integrations, imports / exports or middleware for converting information between systems, you can focus on front end functionality, harnessing the power of Web2.0 and gain a competitive advantage. 3ex.net Ecommerce websites cache logic and content ‘in-memory’ for speed and scalability – no other technology comes close to its performance!

Expand your ebusiness with 'white label' websites

If you are looking to run multiple 'white label' websites then their isn't another solution on the market that can compete with 3ex.net. By enabling you to simultaneously run unlimited websites from within a single system, you will have the capability to create and launch brand new sites in hours rather than weeks or months.

Whether you want to run sister sites, whereby your customers know that they are purchasing from the same company, or you want to create totally seperate sites, which may or may not compete with eachother, you can do it and you can do it easily with 3ex.net.

We have all the resources you will ever need in areas such as web design, usability, content management, SEO, web2.0 and online marketing. We also have an extensive track record in dealing with 3rd party designers and SEO companies and we are happy to give you as much or as little help as you need, to get your ecommerce projects up and running.

Ecommerce Software to help you succeed online.

Passion and commitment is unfortunately not always enough! True excellence in Ecommerce is not just about having an attractive website or fancy features – if you fail to actually deliver your promise, you are likely to lose your customer for life, and in the age of the ‘Recommendation Generation’ that risk is simply too much to take. By combining a leading edge, easy to use, function rich, optimised website with the world's best back office software, you will be able to keep your promises and keep you customers returning to your site, time after time.

Integration With Ebay, Amazon, Play and 3rd Party Websites

Like many of our customers, you may well need to integrate with 3rd parties, such as Amazon, Ebay and Play. We partner with Aimco to make integration with these sites as simple as possible. When any of your customers place an order via any of these channels, you can rest assured that their order will be brought into 3ex.net seamlessly.

If you already have a website but would like to take advantage of the functionality available within the 3ex.net back office, then of course this is an option available to you. To speak technically, we use the incredibly powerful SQL Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) to allow us to import data into the 3ex.net system in any format whatsoever. This process can be automated to avoid the need any manual intervention.

The pain and waste of disjointed systems

If you are simultaneously running separate sales order processing and website content management systems, the likelihood is that you are spending too much time keeping them synchronised and employing costly labour to manually process orders. If you think that this is justifiable, ask yourself the following:

• Are sales orders ready to pick the instant the customer clicks to confirm their order using your current Ecommerce software solution?
• Can you setup a free carriage or “buy one get one free” offer in one place and instantly turn it on in both your call centre and on your website?
• Can your customers adequately self service for order enquiry, billing queries, returns, preferences?
• Do you have total sovereignty over your website design, taxonomy and content?
• Can you manage your meta data and SEO strategy within a single application?
• Can you syndicate your content and sell through partners including Amazon Marketplace, Play Trade and eBay?
• Does your current Ecommerce Software Solution allow you to setup and deploy a new white-label webstore within minutes?
• Could you double your web turnover without any additional labour costs?
• Are you easily able to take advantage of web2.0 technologies including content streaming, social networks, loyalty schemes etc?
• Is your existing Ecommerce web site quick to respond with intuitive navigation?

3EX.NET gives you the edge in a crowded market

If any of the above questions resonate, then you should take 5 minutes to take a look at 3ex.net Ecommerce software – the only web trading platform on the market capable of simultaneously running web content / logic and back office operations from a single application.
