Things sure are happening in the Clouds. Today we present Bronze, Part II. Cloud goes e-commerce! Yes, you read that correctly. Customers can now use LightSpeed Web Store with LightSpeed Cloud. And we’ve created three beautiful new Web Store themes for the occasion.
LightSpeed Web Store for Cloud allows you to:
- Consolidate online and offline inventory, sales and reporting into one system, helping you identify opportunities to move inventory across channels in real-time to fulfill demand
- Access product information from a browser or an iPad app, allowing your sales staff to answer customers’ questions on the spot and help them find exactly what they want
- Easily extend your store online through an easy to set-up web-store, integration with 3rd party email services, and the ability to instantly update products including images, descriptions, promotions and discounts. Achieve lower cost of ownership by using one system versus several systems that may need custom integration and additional manpower to work properly (Web Store for Cloud pricing is a simple monthly fee, starting at $49 per month)
This release is the second part of a two part release, which includes the option of uploading images to LightSpeed Cloud, and the option to use the LightSpeed Web Store platform with LightSpeed Cloud.
As we mentioned in our Bronze, Part I post, the reasoning behind the name of this two part release was carefully chosen: Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, usually with tin as the main additive. It is hard and tough, and it was so significant in antiquity that the Bronze Age was named after the metal. Bronze is the brand combination of two core products at LightSpeed – Web Store and LightSpeed Cloud – making them stronger, more competitive and is – as the Bronze Age was – ubiquitous for the age of commerce.
