Why Motive Technology E-commerce Specialists?

Experience counts for everything and this team has it in abundance. We started in 1997, a heady 10 years ago, dreaming of selling our products on the internet and back then created an e-commerce platform which eventually became the first Jessops web store launched in 1999.

Having done this we wanted to create a product for the masses and in the days when there was only one or two e-commerce shop products out there we launched a web platform (we called it Get Trolleyed) which, over time, was the e-commerce platform for nearly 300 small entrepreneurial stores who started selling on the web for just a few hundred pounds.

We grew with our customers and the confidence in the Internet which stuttered through the early 21st Century but in the last couple of years has grown exponentially. Three years ago an idea of creating a store that would have the ability to run multiple stores from the same interface and data pool was born. The e-commerce platform became a reality in 2005 with many stores now online taking millions of pounds and making more margin from the features the e-commerce software now affords them.

As a business we don’t just use this knowledge to our advantage we use it for all our customers. Often we will be the driving sales force behind getting your products in front of millions of eyes. Of course the product mix and prices are generally down to you (you know them best), but online we will probably know your competitors if not certainly the effect they are having on market share.

We also offer, under our roof:

E-commerce Hosting – this is well thought through hosting knowledge which will not just deliver pages to the internet, we will warn you of forthcoming capacity requirements and whether you are likely to reach them or not. A common mistake is made by people who think they can take a software platform like this and put it on a server hosting platform that costs a few hundred pounds a year – before you come to us, it won’t work!
Out of Hours Application support – any good development company working in e-commerce will know that when you, our customer, has a problem that you will need it fixing no matter what time of the day or week it is; e-commerce does not work between 9-5. We offer a whole range of application and server support that you can take advantage of to ensure that you get the right support for your business and are not left in the lurch if some corrupt data blemishes your perfect record, or someone in admin has added something incorrectly in a product feed!
Channel Knowledge – the overriding reasons that our customers start (and continue) working with us are:
1. How quickly we can assimilate their business issues
2. How fast we add to their marketing offering
3. How much we know about the online shopping world at the ground level – not in the hypothetical – you could almost call it streetwise if you ignored the pun.
Marketing Expertise – PPC, Affiliate marketing, comparison search engines, marketplaces and where it all fits in to your product mix. We understand how to apply it, working with us is like having your own online sales team. You can read more about this on our e-commerce marketing pages.
