During this unprecedented time in our world, it has become apparent that in any business, it is more important than ever to get the most performance and benefit from the dollars that are spent.  How Can You Reduce the Operating Cost of your eCommerce Site by at Least 35%?

One of our retail clients had been on a big box eCommerce platform and was not only paying licensing fees upwards of $40K per year, but was also paying nearly $16K per month in hosting costs, in addition to the normal support, maintenance and DevOps costs. To add to this, they had an antiquated ERP system that was continuing to be a thorn in their side, hampering their business not only online, but in their retail stores as well. First and foremost, they needed to reduce the operating cost of their eCommerce site without losing the enterprise class features that they were accustomed to.

After a thorough evaluation by their technical and business teams, we implemented our Vast Commerce solution on Azure at a fraction of the cost of our nearest competitor, and additionally, they were able to save nearly 50% over their old third party hosting provider. All in all, they are now operating at a nearly 40% reduction in cost over their old platform.

Features of the implementation include a responsive eCommerce front end with fully integrated drag and drop Content Management System (CMS), as well as powerful and versatile Pricing and Promotions Engine that allows them to manage all promotions on the site. In addition, with Vast Commerce’s Order Management, Inventory Management and Warehouse Management modules, they will be able to replace their aging ERP in mid-2021 at a fraction of the cost of other alternatives. We even have a POS module that will allow them to run our POS in their retail locations on their existing hardware.
