E-commerce and Smilehouse

• The Internet has changed consumers expectations about what they buy, when they buy and how they buy. 
  
  
• Internet also provides opportunities for B2B enterprises to exchange goods and services with improvements in operational efficiency, cost savings and customer satisfaction.

• By using Smilehouse software companies of all sizes can build both B2C and B2B ecommerce solutions to lower sales and marketing costs, increase revenues and enhance customer satisfaction. 
  
  
• When integrating e-commerce functionality to back-end systems companies can further lower the need of manual workload and increase scalability. 

Smilehouse enables e-commerce for businesses of all sizes

• Smilehouse helps companies to electronize their business processes. Out solution portfolio ranges from small webshops to global online sales solutions. 
  
  
• For small companies we offer Wosbee.com. It's a free ecommerce service including software, secure hosting and community support. It can also be upgraded to more advanced versions.
  
  
• For mid-size companies our partners implement and host integrated B2C and B2B e-commerce solutions. Solutions are based on Workspace Standard software. Fairly often a Workspace powered implementation replaces an older e-commerce system after the requirements for business process support and platform reliability have grown.
