Global has been a PCS customer since 2004 and was highly satisfied with PCS` eCommerce functionality and order management system. Working in an eCommerce growth mode, Global needed additional media rich technologies and advanced product searching so that customers could proficiently view and find the industrial products that they wanted to purchase. Working closely with Global associates, PCS addressed the technical and design needs of the new Global eCommerce initiative.
"We understand that buying industrial products online can be a daunting task, either the pictures are too blurry, there isn`t enough detail, or the site is difficult to navigate," stated Bob Dooley, Vice President of eCommerce at Global. “The ProfitCenter Software eCommerce platform provides our customers with an online shopping experience by way of uncomplicated navigation and all the product information necessary for them to make purchasing decisions effectively and efficiently,"
