Latest E-Commerce Project Goes Live: Online Book Store
Friday, December 01, 2006

Our latest e-commerce website has just gone live. Hay on Wye Booksellers is one of the UK's largest second hand book retailers. They carry a vast stock of around 30,000 book titles, many of which are as good as new.

They commissioned SureState to redesign their site and build a new online shop. Like many second hand book dealers, they use the AbeBooks Homebase system to manage their inventory. SureState built a unique administration system that allows Hay on Wye Booksellers to maintain their online shop by simply uploading and importing a file from AbeBooks Homebase.

In addition, this site has some great additional features: it is run off a SQL Server database, which allowed us to exploit SQL Server's great text searching capabilities. It also uses Protx's blazing fast and cost-effective payment gateway that ensures that the customer never has to leave the merchant's site. Lastly, we built a powerful administration system that allows Hay on Wye Booksellers to manage their special offers, wholesale book sales and the processing of their online orders.

Works great! Very pleased with it. Thanks Very Much.
Oli Greenow, Hay on Wye Booksellers.
