ACE Inc. - A Leader in E-Commerce
We Won't Just Build a Site and Leave It
Anyone can start an internet business, but in order for it to be successful, you need to integrate online marketing strategies. Most places that build online stores just build the site, but Artisan Crew wants your site to be as successful as possible. Their goal is to build you a site. Our goal is to help you make sales.
We know that it is not just about the ability to buy something from the site, it's about how to make the client's business stand out from the millions of sites already out there.
We know that a fancy shopping cart and checkout button don't make a successful online store. Nowadays, anyone can put these into a site, but without the marketing know-how, most businesses will not see the maximum potential of their online store.
Since our business was founded on systems engineering and marketing, two key components in making a successful online business, we are confident that we can offer the best in e-commerce solutions.
Bring in Customers with S.E.M. (Search Engine Marketing)
S.E.O. runs in the background of every internet search constantly. With this in mind, we've developed StoreACE, a shopping cart system that utilizes S.E.O. Unlike your average shopping cart, it plays a part in helping to drive traffic to your site.
Flexible Multi-Lingual / Multi-Currency Checkout System
We can customize our checkout system to cater to any payment system in whatever language and currency your business needs. We specialize in multi-lingual, multi-currency systems.
The Advantage of Using a Proprietary System
Other companies tend to use widely available open source packages to build their online stores, resulting in the online equivalent of a strip mall, making it hard for a store to stand out.
That's where ACE Inc comes in. With our proprietary system, we build you a unique store for your unique needs, brand you and get you recognized.
Connect to Core Systems
If you have both an online and off-line store, whether you're a large-scale e-commerce site or a thriving online store, it can be difficult to integrate your on- and off-line core business systems.
With ACE Inc's experience in core business management systems, we're experts at integrating on- and off-line systems.
