Recommendations to others considering k-ecommerce:
The software/solution really requires sitting down with k-eCommerce in order to figure out best practices for your specific business requirements. Make sure to identify all your businesses’ needs as precisely as possible and ask if there are configurations or features in the existing solution that can do that.

What problems is k-ecommerce solving and how is that benefiting you?
As technology and web commerce have become a core part of almost every business, customers have become more demanding. The requirements to have access to more information in a logical and organized way is a necessity.
When we started the search for an e-commerce solution, we needed to find a solution that was going to work for us today as well as tomorrow.
We wanted hosted vs on premise, and in addition we wanted a host that meets the standards for the credit card industry (PCI). The fact that k-eCommerce comes PCI certified was a huge selling point for us.
k-eCommerce allows us to publish many different versions (customized upon login) of our product catalog for our different customers, with all of the relevant information each customer needs in order to make an informed buying decision.
We take full advantage of modifying the display results based our account access through Dynamics GP.
In addition, we have modified the pricelist feature to allow customers to download their pricelists directly from the website. I know this doesn’t sound like much, but this was hugely impactful for us. We actually had about 20 major product line price changes in the past year. We manage a complex price system in Dynamics GP. The modification of giving customers login and access to download their pricing saved probably thousands of hours of exporting, naming, sorting and individual emailing of pricesheets to customers.
k-eCommerce shortens the sales cycles because customers have better access to key buying decision info. It makes it easy to expand the business to new customers, makes it easy to grow the business, and makes it easy to launch new products.
We are a complicated business, and other solutions are either plug and play or just didn’t fit. To take Sana as a comparison, we would have had to redact our model to fit our business into how Sana works, and that just wasn’t possible.
By contrast, we had two acquisitions while implementing k-eCommerce. One of these acquisitions introduced brands, which was a major change for us, and made the process longer. But in the end, the k-eCommerce solution is flexible enough to fit our needs as a business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
