Engine Powering World`s #2 Online Retailer Now Available to Companies Providing Internet, Wireless and Interactive TV Applications
Newly Formed United Commerce Service Expected to Become Premier E-Commerce Outsourcing Provider
ALISO VIEJO, CA---June 3, 2002--
United Commerce Service (UCS) announced its formation today, and addition into the ThinkTank portfolio of companies.
UCS is creator of the proprietary technology powering Buy.com, the second largest online retailer in the world, and will offer its e-commerce solutions to companies providing Internet, wireless and interactive TV applications.
One of the original pioneers in the development of online retailing solutions, UCS has set a new standard for e-commerce transactions and created one of the most powerful engines on the market, capable of handling hundreds of thousands of transactions daily.
"The precedent-setting technology that has powered Buy.com is now available to companies looking to benefit from the most successful online retailing engine available," said Scott Blum, founder of ThinkTank.
"With over six years of experience providing solutions to the e-commerce marketplace and $200 million invested in the development of its engine, UCS is poised to become the premier e-commerce outsource provider."
UCS offers a fully hosted e-commerce solution for content providers, information portals, wireless service providers and niche e-tailers looking to extend their product offering.
Through a "virtual private label" model, the solution allows companies to leverage their brand and current customers via their own storefront, while at the same time taking advantage of immediate "plug-and-play" e-commerce capabilities that the engine offers.
With no capital investment required, and near real-time to market development, strategic partners receive an award-winning commerce platform with up to 10 categories and more than 1 million SKUs of top branded computer products, electronics, books, music, movies and games. The solution is also cross-platform capable: it supports Internet, wireless and interactive TV applications.
"Our C3 Internet solution is ideal for Web sites that don`t currently have e-commerce or who have limited commerce capabilities and are looking to expand their current offering," said Keith Allen, UCS general manager. "The customer provides the traffic, UCS runs the store, and we both share in the revenue."
In addition to the turnkey "commerce in a box" solution, UCS offers site development, hosting, transaction processing, content management, fulfillment, reconciliation, customer service and merchandising services.
