7Impact of eCommerce (cont.)Online Research Empowers Customers

Who Uses Yellow Pages?Stay Connected to Your Customers

Having all your products online boosts in-store sales tremendously. I cant possibly quantify all the new dollars this has brought in. Very often, customers just walk in, pre-sold, ready to buy.

Jack Ku, City Grounds

Online Research Empowers CustomersCustomers know how to find what they want and will overlook retailers who cant provide info they seekWho Uses Yellow Pages?Fundamental shift in how customers have connected to retailers who have what they want to buyStay Connected to Your CustomersIf youre not talking to them, someone else is

8eCommerce Driving Retail GrowthWeb Impact on In-Store Sales2008: 27% of Retail Sales (Deloitte Retail Consulting)Online Sales = 7%Store Sales = 20%2012: 50% (Forrester Research)Online Sales = 8%

2010 US holiday sales grew above the previous year more than twice the rate ONLINE than they did in brick and mortar stores

CNBC said that FedEx forecasts a 12% increase in the 2011 holiday deliveries and is hiring 20,000 seasonal workers9eCommerce Helps Retailers Survive the Downturn

Across the retail industry there is an effort to reduce the size of your stores as purchases increasingly occur online rather than through brick-and-mortar stores.

Retail Analyst Brad ThomasA Retailers Burden65% of Multi-Channel Retailers: Lack of Cross-Channel Integration Results in Lost Sales**From Aberdeen/NRF Session titled Cross Channel Commerce Double work often gets half-done

Chris Odea, ODs Designer Clothing

Retailers attempting to run both channels independently often hit a brick wall:

Issues: Accurate, efficient inventory control Time and accuracy of Duplicate Data Entry Typos (paper shrink) Database latency Labor Cost / Opportunity Cost Stock Availability Issues Separate Reporting Sales Customer Promotion

*From Aberdeen/NRF Session titled Cross Channel Commerce 58% of retailers offer different prices across channels on the same itemOnly 38% of retail make certain that marketing promotions are available across all channels96% cannot access online customer sales history in-store65% of multi-channel retailers say a lack of cross-channel integration results in lost revenues

eCommerce continues to be a great opportunity & complicated challenge!

11The Reality of IntegrationMany online retailers are still struggling to increase sales by integrating order and inventory systems

State of Retailing Online 2008, researched by Forrester and published by Shop.org26% offer in-store product availability online

The reality of integration is that if it were easy to do then everyone would do it. We hope to help you avoid that painful and costly learning experience of trying to do it on your own or investing on a simple product upload-style integration.

Whether youre using RMS Store Operations or Headquarters, our integration is deep and leverages RMS very cost-effectively; from tax & shipping, to quantity, mix/match, buy X get Y for Z pricingFlawless support of matrix itemsCustomersEven RMS vouchers both online and in an mobile commerce format (more on that later)

A surprising finding from Forrester was that only 26% of retailers offer in-store product online. We not only show your product availability, with flexible and configurable availability rules, but we can show stock levels by matrix dimension.

12Most webstore software only accepts a Microsoft Excel file. It seems easy when youre small but that practice will keep you small.

Rich Bendell, Forbidden PlanetImpact of NSc-Integrated eCommerceOne Version of the Truth Drives Efficiencies

Drive Down Operational and Opportunity Cost

Simplifies RMS MaintenanceIt was amazing to see how quickly and easily everything went online.

Jack Ku, City GroundsNitroSells PAM (Product Attribute Manager) offers a lot of value when working with items in RMS. We use PAM daily to save time making updates to our items even if they are not on the web.

From what I can tell this might be the only product of its kind out there.

Eagle LeatherThe Mantra for retail efficiency is Enter Data Once, Use It Many TimesIntegration Is More Than Just Uploading Product Data To WebDrive Down Multi-Channel Operational and Opportunity Cost And it Simplifies RMS Maintenance weve quoted a customer, here, that prefers to manage his RMS from NitroSell Product Attribute Manager because its so much easier than maintaining RMS screens one at a time. Another retailer who switched from a different integrated ecommerce system loves PAM because she can split up the work among different employees instead of having them rely on her as the RMS expert.

13Impact of NSc-Integrated eCommerceSingle Accurate & Timely View of: CustomersSalesStockPromotionsVouchersSimplifies Store Fulfillment ProcessEliminates Duplicate Customer RecordsNitroSell Integrated eCommerce gives you the ability to manage your business from a single database, its all there! Other integrated ecommerce systems may get pos product data to the web but will still leave you with the need to manage reporting in two different systems with business rules that can break when you start tweaking your initial configuations. Our system is built to adapt while keeping it simple with the single database.

We simplify the store fulfillment process by leveraging the same integration that gets the products, customers, tax, discount codes, vouchers and other data into your RMS. No need to manually key web orders from a standalone cart just to keep your inventory and POS up to date.

And our Get Web Orders button helps prevent duplicate customer records that the native import process is prone to.

Content Delivery Network - a NitroSell Plus Fast Page Load Times Drive:Increased ConversionsIncreased Avg Order ValueIncreased Pages/VisitIncreased Avg Time on SiteAccording to Gartner, by 2013,90% of eCommerce sites will use cloud based computing. NitroSells experience working with cloud computingsince 2005 is a key strength.

--- Mouse Click ------------

Our Dynamic content is maintained on our central servers. A key NitroSell strength is that our static, heavy content such as images, script tags, CSS, graphics and caches on is maintained in edge servers of a Content Delivery Network, literally 10s of thousands of edge servers physically dispersed to be close to a shopper all over the world.We do more than simple hosting. A robust Content Delivery Network is built-in to your NitroSell managed service consisting of 95,000 secure servers on1,900 networks reaching71 countries

Our approach is to:Eliminate long routes whenever possible - by replicating and delivering content from servers close to end users around the world instead of from centralized servers. We call this delivering from "the edges of the Internet."Optimize routes - by mapping paths across the Internet to avoid trouble spots, compressing content, and replicating packets to ensure fast, complete delivery.
