NATICK, Mass.– October 15, 2002 – CommercialWare, Inc, a leading provider of commerce infrastructure software, and Capture.Net Technologies Inc., an eminent software provider developing retail chain and store management solutions for hard goods and specialty retail outfits, today announced a partnership that provides retailers and direct marketers with a comprehensive integrated point-of-sale to back office solution that provides true cross channel capabilities.
With the integration of CommercialWare`s retail.dot.commerce, a direct to consumer order management and fulfillment solution, and Capture.Net`s Retail Management Solution (RMS), an award winning, world-class point-of-sale and inventory control solution for retail chains, customers will be able to leverage the maturity and experience of industry-leading order management, fulfillment, retail back office and customer service capabilities across multiple customer channels including the Web, phone, point-of-sale, fax, mail or kiosk.
Capture.Net`s RMS, which gathers in real-time, point-of-sale transactions, manages customers and performs back office functions such as: creating purchase orders, transferring inventory, sales reporting and staff management, will use CommercialWare`s integration.dot.commerce, a platform that integrates CommercialWare`s software with customers` existing IT architecture, to communicate with CommercialWare`s retail.dot.commerce.
