Germany-based publishing house approached Itransition requesting development and maintenance of a reliable B2C eCommerce solution.
Seeking to drive business growth through establishing online presence, Franzis Verlag GmbH needed a B2C eCommerce portal developed to sell its tangible and digital products.
Given the ever escalating competition in a continuously evolving eCommerce marketplace, to attract new buyers and drive profits the company needed a high performance, rich-functionality solution. Franzis wanted a flexible and reliable system that would enable online business managers to focus on their administration and marketing tasks while leaving the hassle of the online store setting up and running to a reliable technology partner.
Itransition turned out to be the best fit for tackling the challenge because of our proficiency in web portal development.
From Sales Supporting Tool To Potent eCommerce Solution
Initiated as a product registration solution used to expand the pool of prospective buyers, the system evolved into the company’s primary selling tool.

Despite the differences in payment modes and product delivery scenarios, the system ensures a unified and consistent user experience for both online business managers and company’s customers.
