Maginus to show the secret to e-commerce success at Retail Solutions 2006

Stand C41, Retail Solutions, NEC, Birmingham, 6-8 June 2006

Manchester, 25, May, 2006 - Maginus, a leading provider of multi-channel retail solutions, will show how its end-to-end approach to e-commerce can help retailers do more business online at the Retail Solutions Exhibition, 2006. Maginus, whose customers include CoOp, Oddbins, PC World and Sainsbury’s, will be available at stand C41 for demonstrations and discussions.

Maginus provides advanced e-commerce solutions that include extensive order management, CRM, supply chain, help desk and logistics capabilities, and full multi-channel support. This end-to-end control of sales and fulfilment, through any channel, helps retailers offer the products and prices customers want; provide great customer service; increase back-office efficiency; and drive sales online, on the phone and in stores.

“Building a website is easy,” says Harry Manley, Commercial Director for Maginus. “Building a successful e-commerce site, that forms an integrated part of the rest of your retail operation, is a lot more difficult. That’s why Maginus solutions let you integrate your e-commerce site seamlessly with catalogue and store operations.”

“Too many e-commerce sites exist independently from a retailer’s core operations, which is a mistake when all the evidence points to increased multi-channel shopping behaviour in many retail sectors,” he continues. ”It also has a detrimental affect on customer service and back office efficiency: if you don’t have a single view of sales and customer relationships through every channel, you can’t leverage economies of scale and you can’t guarantee consistent customer service. Maginus provides the solution to all of these problems.”

Maginus e-commerce solutions are built on the company’s modular, industrial-strength Maginus 7xa software. Retailers benefit from advanced e-commerce functionality; real-time, 24x7 operation with the highest levels of availability; and true integration between a website and back office systems. Maginus also provides a range of complementary web design, hosting and implementation services, for a one-stop solution to retail e-commerce.
