eCommerce
Every company embraces eCommerce for different reasons. It might be to achieve growth, reduce costs, improve processes – or a combination of all three. Typical scenarios that lead to eCommerce include:
Difficulty in providing accurate promotion and inventory information when customers want it;
The expense and labour required to produce CD-ROMs or paper based catalogues; and
The need to continuously update product lists and pricing.
