Liquorhome.com races to market with Websphere
"The site had to be implemented quickly, so we looked for a complete solution that needed minimal development. It also had to be reliable to ensure customers kept coming back to the site and scalable enough to support the company's growth plans."
-- Mr Paul Baker, Project Manager, Beacon Technology.
The Background
Liquorhome.com's parent company from West Australia needed a web presence that gave them a more direct role in liquor distribution. They also needed a scalable solution so Liquorhome.com could be rolled out to the whole of Australia.
The Challenge
With numerous competitors vying for market share, the key requirement for site designers, Beacon Technology, was speed to market.
The Solution
Beacon chose to implement IBM's WebSphere Commerce Suite Internet infrastructure platform as it offered the base to build a complete transactional web site very quickly, without compromising design and flexibility.
The WebSphere software framework features a library of extensions for developers which helped Beacon implement, amongst other site features, a bonus points solution for Liquorhome's customers. A strong feature of the WebSphere solution was the ability to integrate critical systems like inventory, order processing and shipping to protect and extend the group's existing IT investments.
