LRG Project Assistance
Having a comprehensive, well configured software solution to drive an online store is as essential as having an engine in a car, but without the wheels and petrol, the engine is useless. The same goes for eCommerce; without a resilient hosting solution and a focused sales and marketing strategy, a web store will never reach its full potential.
Strategic Assistance
In 2006, Amazon.com spent 662 Million Dollars on research and development. They did this to ensure their eCommerce store remains top of the game. Whilst it is impossible to even contemplate spending a percent of that, having the benefit of how the Internet works and what gets people onto your website is where LRG can help. Our software and marketing staff have many years experience on turning online shops into successful entities and have devised a system to get our clients. We have material and guidance we can offer in many areas of eCommerce including:
- - Product promotion - wording, external feeds, up selling, competitor awareness
- - Multi-channel sales approach - Especially for the early months of an online store
- - Taking Advantage of technology - Applied techniques to improve positions on search engines
Hosting Packages
Having a great software solution is a big part of a successful store, and being clever with the technologies to get a website seen by customers is just as important. Another critical part of the overall project is hosting. This was a big challenge for the LRG founders in the early days when running on other solutions - outages through server breakdown, or Internet routing problems can cost a website thousands in lost sales and not to mention the damage to reputation and customer confidence. We ensure that we have access to our machines and have a migration plan in place in event of a server or infrastructure issue.
We offer high specification servers, located in more than one hosting centre, installed with the latest versions of Linux and Windows server operating systems. Our servers are routinely updated with patches and are venerability tested on a regular basis. Backups of all client data are done daily to ensure total information protection.
LRG Software can host a website that is written and supported by us or a 3rd party. We also have email and web-based email facilities and can register and administer domain names. If a client has a specific need to host their website in-house, we can provide remote and onsite support.
Offline Project Support
In order to sell online, a business needs to adapt to face the challenges the world of electronic trading brings. Issues need to be addressed such as staffing requirements, choice of carriers and packaging companies, legal considerations, buying techniques and so on.
LRG Software is committed to building the best eCommerce solution on the market. We do not believe this can be achieved with software alone. A combination of ever-evolving technology and a dynamic approach to the practicalities involved when running an online outlet are what we have found to be the ingredients of a successful eCommerce deployment.
