If you want to rapidly launch a new ecommerce site or replace an existing operation, to succeed you will need the latest commerce infrastructure at an affordable cost. The JunctionEOD™ end-to-end solution provides everything you need to jumpstart and manage your retail business - leveraging Microsoft’s advanced technology, JunctionEOD™ is built on Microsoft .NET and SQL Server.

Software-as-a-Service
JunctionEOD™’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model delivers best-in-class eCommerce software as an on demand service. With full flexibility to customize your eCommerce application, you can respond rapidly to new market opportunities. With no investment in software, you will always have the latest technology, reduced time-to-market, unlimited scalability, security and pay-as-you-go pricing.

Sophisticated Storefronts & Smart Shopping Cart
JunctionEOD™ makes it easy to build your web store and reproduce your brand within a professionally-designed storefront. In addition, your customer will have a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use, shopping cart and account management system. This “smart” shopping cart displays actual shipping, tax, discounts and real order total. It also displays estimated ship date and estimated receive date.

Geographic Load Balancing
Geographic load balancing provides the ability to have Web servers at several distinct geographic locations. With JunctionEOD™, your site can be hosted in multiple locations for better reliability and performance. Customers are essentially sent to the fastest performing data centers.

Smart Search Capabilities
Smart search functionality enables you to display search results in ways that will most likely lead to sales through guided navigation, advanced full text search engine and support spell checking with a custom dictionary.

Unlimited Scalability
JunctionEOD™ is designed to accelerate your e-business growth. True scalability is achieved through both a highly efficient code base as well an architecture that allows processing to be distributed among multiple servers, if necessary. JunctionEOD™ leverages the advances of the Microsoft’s .NET framework to achieve 10 times the performance improvement of comparable sites built using ASP or ColdFusion technologies.

Flexible Coupon Engine
JunctionEOD™ has the ability to create coupons that give percentage or fixed dollar amount discounts, free shipping, or a free product. Coupons can be tied to certain redemption criteria such as order subtotal amount or purchase of a specific product.

Real-Time Order Integration
In any multi-channel environment, it is critical that order capture points work in harmony and feed the right information to back-end systems. The additional revenue opportunities that are associated with a new sales channel are often lost due to overwhelming costs and a loss of focus. JunctionEOD™’s Real-Time Order Integration integrates with existing back office systems to provide the customer with timely, accurate order status such as inventory availability and shipping dates.

Real-Time Credit Card Processing
JunctionEOD™ provides both real-time credit card processing and validation. If there is a problem with a credit card transaction, the customer can be notified immediately rather than via email or through a phone call, at a later time or date.

Promotions Engine
JunctionEOD™ allows for the creation of highly traceable email campaigns, affiliate programs and other external links with its Promotions Engine. Detailed reports display shopping behavior and return on investment.
