We maximise the return on the investment you have already made in your existing product data by facilitating its publication to additional media channels; including web, CD-ROMs and mobile applications. Possible sales channels are maximised, giving your customer the opportunity to purchase through the channel most convenient to him at the time of purchase.
Curvica has unparalleled expertise in advising customers on the development of complete e-commerce business solutions. Our consultants can advise on how to take your product data and transform it into a powerful on-line selling tool, building e-commerce solutions that can include customer specific contract prices and discounts, inventory levels, and rich technical data. In short we can help you enable your customers to find the right product and present it to them at the right price, making it easy for them to buy from you at the right time.
We can create CD-ROMs that replicate your online e-Commerce experience, so that your customers can browse, compare and select products and prepare their purchase orders while off-line. When back on-line, orders can be sent directly to your website.
In a business to business environment, your customers will each have their specific contract pricing. One of Curvica's core competences is in developing B2B solutions that incorporate pricing engines that allow individual customers to use their specific contract pricing to order, along with any quantity price breaks and discounts that may apply to them.
In certain circumstances your customers will know the specifications of what they need, but will not know which parts in the catalogue will meet these requirements. A technical product selector allows the customer to enter the required specifications or parameters from which a search is performed on a product database for parts that meet the requirements, along with any required accessories. You and your customer's time is saved, reducing the chances of an unsuitable product being ordered.
As more "App Phones" become available on the market, Curvica can open a whole new sales channel by creating mobile e-commerce applications for Blackberries, iPhones and similar mobile devices. You can reach your customers wherever they are and they can continue to buy, even when away from the office.
Curvica can help you take your paper catalogue and publish it on the internet, retaining the familiar look and feel of the original. We can add features such as page flipping and by adding hot-spots to part numbers and index pages, we can make it easy for your customer to browse, to find items and to cross-reference them to back office systems to get more complete information such as current pricing and stock.
Many large purchasers are using e-Marketplace and e-Procurement systems (like Ariba) to manage their purchasing. But transforming the format in which your product is offered can be extremely time-consuming - each SKU offered has to be in the correct format and each separate e-procurement system may require a different format or punch-out. Curvica can manage this time consuming process for you and enable you to respond to your customers' e-business data requirements more quickly and more accurately.
Curvica can help you manage and deliver e-marketing campaigns to your customers via email and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. With full tracking facilities we can help you perform analyses on the results and realise the full potential of your investment.
"A picture paints a thousand words" - we can help you explain complex products more easily on your web-site by including animation and video. Complex purchasing decision can be made much easier once the customer understands the benefits and features your product offers.
