Enterprise solution
No two pieces of software are the same – whether it’s an email program, a word processor, a browser or an ecommerce platform. Although one piece of software like a browser might be slightly better than another, it is generally a matter of choice as to which one to use.
However ecommerce software is one area of computing where results from each platform can mean vast differences in the sales and profits generated. In fact the ecommerce platform is often the deciding factor in online success – therefore it is critically important that a business chooses the right one.
The IRP is the right solution for ambitious retailers to expand on the global stage. It is an enterprise level ecommerce platform that can help retailers from the small to mid-market upwards to develop and implement a proven commerce strategy for sustained growth. The IRP is a fully-integrated multichannel solution combining multiple sales channels, award-winning international reach and a comprehensive set of features and tools.
Stable & scalable architecture
The IRP connects the digital and physical touch points with your customers which allows your various sales channels such as web, stock control, EPOS, phone and mobile to integrate together in real time.
It is a very stable platform, built to scale and process very high transaction volumes.
Secure cloud technology
IRP software is hosted in the cloud. Each user of the IRP has their own separate instance of the software that is populated with their data. The IRP itself is based on Microsoft technologies on an SQL Server Database. The IRP platform application is programmed on the .Net framework.
There is no requirement for any software to be installed on your devices to run the IRP. All you need is a broadband connection and a browser. The IRP is also PCI Level 1 compliant – this means a maximum level of security for your data and credit cards.
