Congrats Walkingonacloud.com on the New Website Design!

We congratulate our client, Walkingonacloud.com on a recent redesign of their Canadian and USA eStores. After launching on OrderDynamics 1.5 years ago, Walkingonacloud.com has seen significant sales growth, so much so that it fueled a complete redesign of their website – something that was not done during the initial launch. The new design enables many of the latest ecommerce features and best practices such as Guided Navigation, Search Within, Dynamic Merchandising, Up Selling in the Buy Area, Rich Imaging, Facebook and Twitter, Mini Cart, Personalization, and more. The new design will allow Walkingonacloud to convert traffic at a higher level and increase the average order size through these out-of-box features of OrderDynamics.

Walkingonacloud.com has over 8,000 shoes and accessories from over 90 brands. Congrats!


OrderDynamics Speaks at eCommerce Camp #7: Build vs. Buy, the Future of eCommerce Platforms

What is the future of eCommerce platforms? OrderDynamics speaks on the panel at Ecommerce Camp 7, to be held in Toronto on June 6, 2011.

Ecommerce Camp is an excellent networking opportunity hosted by Chris Long, Well.ca and M Marking Inc. for both those who are familiar with the eCommerce world and those who are new to the game. Our very own Steven Berkovitz will be joining local experts from Shopify and T4G in deliberating where eCommerce is heading in the coming years and why we believe it is time to buy rather than build. This exciting debate will be moderated by a member from Sears Canada, and at the end research findings on the outlook for eCommerce will be exhibited by Google.

The event begins at 6pm at Fionn MacCool’s on 70 The Esplanade, and tickets are free! To register to attend Ecommerce Camp 7, and gain some valuable insight from its presenters, visit http://guestlistapp.com/events/57297 .

Congrats on the Launch, Recorders.com!

Congratulations to Recorders.com on the recent re-launch on OrderDynamics. The new Recorders.com website offers all the latest ecommerce features to support higher revenue growth and excel at customer service. One of the most comprehensive sources of digital recorders, transcription software, and accessories, Recorders.com offers a smart navigation by industry, rich product information, one-click support and integrated ticketing in the My Account section, powerful site search, alternative payments and more!

By leveraging industry specific product descriptions, product attributes, article integrations, and automatic upselling for discontinued but supported products, Recorders.com is leading the competition in sales and service.

The site was elegantly designed by our partner, www.gproxy.com.


eTail Canada Recap - Review of the Show!

What a great way for eTail to open their first annual show in Canada! eTail Canada was highly attended by many leading Canadian retailers and manufacturers who are either already selling online or are in the process of putting together their business plans for an ecommerce channel.

We met with several merchants who were in the very early stages of putting their ecommerce business plan together and provided important tips for developing their ecommerce business plan and selecting a platform provider. We also had a chance to talk with many Canadian merchants who were already selling online and looking to take their online business to the next level. These were all very promising signals that the Canadian ecommerce market is heating up and here to stay.

It came as no surprise about the number of US retailers and manufacturers that attended the event with plans on opening up

or expanding their Canadian ecommerce operations. This should be a continued warning to Canadian retailers who have already had to compete with many US merchants who have launched Canadian websites, or are now shipping to Canada.

We also had a chance to listen in on several sessions from merchants who were speaking at the event, including our Client Henry’s Camera, all of who provided actionable advice and guidance based on years of already doing business online in Canada.

We look forward to sponsoring the event again next year and look forward to a huge year of growth in the Canadian ecommerce market in 2011 / 2012.

BTY Selects OrderDynamics On-Demand eCommerce Platform Solution

Toronto, ON - OrderDynamics, Canada’s leading On-Demand eCommerce Platform Provider, announces recent new client partnership with BTY (Boutique To You), retailer of high trend fashion apparel.

After a surge in growth in the past two years, BTY has decided a new eCommerce platform is needed to continue to outpace its competition. The retailer of the hottest designer clothes worn by celebrities has been taking the market by storm through its fast-paced marketing tactics, integrating social media, and its ability to fulfill the fastest trending items in celebrity fashion. As order volumes are at the highest levels ever, BTY is in need of a new eCommerce platform, one designed to help mid-sized online retailers grow and can guarantee site reliability, something that’s been challenging with such electric growth.

“Although we continue to grow at a significant rate, we’ve simply outgrown our current platform, both in technology and their ability to service us” explains Ann Smith, Co-Founder of BTY. “OrderDynamics proved to be a great fit both in service model and their proven ability to help their clients grow after moving onto their platform” continues Smith. As part of its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) eCommerce platform, OrderDynamics includes proactive account management guidance designed to keep merchants on a constant path of success. The service includes a dedicated account manager and ongoing new feature releases to the eCommerce platform at no extra costs. In addition, each client receives a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA) that holds OrderDynamics accountable for the uptime, performance, and reliability of each website it powers. “We searched high and low for the right e-commerce fit. OrderDynamics provided the best out-of-the box solutions as well as the ability and willingness to flex and grow with our company.”

“We’re very excited about this project and helping Ann and Debbie grow their business” says Michael Turcsanyi, President of OrderDynamics. The new website is slated to launch in June and will incorporate many exciting features like Guided Navigation, Targeted Banner Personalization and Recommendations, Mini Cart, Mobile Commerce, and more!

About BTY
BTY evolved from what started as a small locally-based accessory style business into a multi-million dollar celebrity style online boutique. The initial concept was “brining the boutique to you” via the online medium. Back in 2004 when the online store started to take off, brining boutique and celebrity style items was a new concept for many shoppers. Fast forward to 2011 where shopping online is the preferred method for many customers. The long name has been dropped and the more sophisticated abbreviation, BTY has taken its place. BTY’s owners, Ann Smith and Debbie Susich have always been flexible and ready to adapt to the market on a dime.
