Special Considerations for Your Commerce Application

Custom e-commerce application development follows a similar script to other types of web development projects. However, there are a few more considerations that must be contemplated:

• Inventory Management:
  E-commerce can include 1 product or 1 million. Each with it's own variables, versions or combinations. Custom applications can be built to either manage this challenge locally, or integrate to in-house inventory systems.
• User Experience:
  E-commerce requires clean, concise user experiences that focus on easy navigation, effective searching and browsing and seamless execution of transactions.
• Transactions:
  Transactions require many considerations. How are payments processed? How is inventory updated? How are notifications managed? These, plus a multitude of other factors, constitute an e-commerce transaction.
• Order Fulfillment:
  Custom systems can manage the entire process of order fulfillment, or be built to integrate seamlessly to custom or licensed systems utilized throughout the enterprise.
• Reporting:
  Reporting need not be complex. One of the benefits of a custom approach is your ability, as the client, to dictate what reports are of most value to you.
• Scaling & Redundancy:
  An e-commerce app must be a few things. Safe, secure, redundant and scalable are key components of a successful and trustworthy commerce application.
