I’ve been chatting with Igor from Shopping Cart Elite recently. He’s got a product which seems to stand out from the “me too†of many of the products on the market. Some of the more innovative features include:
- A competition spy module, to watch prices on your competitor sites
- Some pretty sophisticated SEO features. Virtually all shopping carts on the market claim to have SEO features, but I’ve yet to encounter a cart which is 100% SEO optimized out of the box.
- Some thorough back office functions such as full inventory management, employee rights and task assignments, and an accounting module.
It’s also got a CRM (customer relationship management) module, which can save a lot of time, making tasks such as support emails with canned responses, supplier inventory integration, and an RMA (return merchandise authorization) module.
Another time saver and revenue generator is the ability to automatically post your inventory to your eBay store and Amazon Marketplace, as well as Google Marketplace. With eBay it claims to even research the competition and automatically suggest an optimized price point to sell at! How’s that for a time saver.
There’s some Shopping Cart Elite educational videos on YouTube to give you more of an idea about the features. Shopping Cart Elite is a hosted solution with a range of price points.
