MethodFactory Launches Commerce Server Management Software
New software helps marketing and sales staff better manage their e-commerce
Sarasota-based software application firm, MethodFactory, today introduced the CS09 Admin Extender, a software product to help Microsoft Commerce Server customers better manage their product management, marketing and sales efforts.
Commerce Server 2009 is the latest version of Microsoft’s popular e-commerce software. Released in March of this year, Commerce Server 2009 has quickly gained popularity among mid-market e-commerce retailers. While CS09 boasts significant functional improvements over earlier versions some clients still struggle with the application’s management capabilities. The ‘CS09 Admin Extender’ was developed by MethodFactory to make it easier for non-technical e-commerce staff to manage products, marketing offers and other sales functions.
The CS09 Admin Extender is a flexible, easy to use web-based management tool for Commerce Server 2009 eCommerce administration functions. Common management functions include product management, customer management, order management, shopping cart management, promotion management, systems setting management and integration management.
The CS09 Admin Extender is used by Marketing, Product Management and Customer Service staff to perform daily functions, in an environment that is conducive to how the business functions.
“There are a lot of organizations with an understandable bias toward Microsoft-centric solutions, which also want to provide a less technical interface to the native functionality provided by CS09. The Admin extender was designed and built to bridge that gap”, said Steve Walter, a Partner at MethodFactory. “The response we’ve received from marketing and sales e-commerce managers has been remarkable.”
The CS09 Admin Extender is the first of four packaged offerings by MethodFactory, designed to leverage the value of Commerce Server. The next offerings are scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2010.
