Planet City Software Demonstrates its 'E-COMM-KIT' at Comdex Revolutionary New Software Package Brings E-Commerce to the Masses Without Massive Overhead
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 1998--Planet City (Software) Corp. Inc. (OTC BB:PINC) announced today that its subsidiary Planet City Software is demonstrating its E-COMM-KIT at Comdex Fall in booth no. L5666. Tagged as "E-Commerce with Eeze" the E-COMM-KIT is a revolutionary new software package that brings e-commerce to the masses without massive overhead.
The E-COMM-KIT is designed to support the needs of businesses that realize the importance of e-commerce, but who are unclear with respect to precisely what is required to set up shop on the web. A truly comprehensive e-commerce solution, the E-COMM-KIT makes it incredibly simple for businesses to add secure, reliable, and affordable electronic commerce functionality to any Web-site. The versatile E-COMM-KIT can be used in conjunction with a Planet City-provided back office support system, or with any other back office system the user wishes to employ.
The E-COMM-KIT contains everything that a business needs to take full advantage of the myriad of opportunities that e-commerce offers. In particular, it provides simple tools needed to set up a commercial Web-site, including more than 100 templates and Web icons, as well as Web design tutorials. In addition, it includes ready to post banner ads, provides users with the ability to easily create on-line promotions and search engine links, and also offers simple financial features to keep track of sales (fully portable to most popular accounting packages). Other important features include a client database that allows businesses to keep track of their customers, a comprehensive inventory control system to monitor sales and product inventory levels, and credit card authorization facilities that use the latest generation security protocols on the Internet.
"The E-COMM-KIT is the truly the first e-commerce development package that includes absolutely everything that a business needs today to create a world-class e-commerce site," said Rudy Rupak, President of Planet City Software. "When the E-COMM-KIT is used in conjunction with our highly flexible back-end processing service, the result is a fully integrated e-commerce solution that is easier to use and significantly more cost-effective than any other competing alternative."
Buyers of the E-COMM-KIT will automatically qualify for 3-months of complimentary backend processing from Planet City, after which a monthly fee based on a percentage of sales will be charged. Unlike other vendors that provide e-commerce back-end services, Planet City's E-COMM-KIT eliminates the need to have a dedicated e-commerce server and 24-hour connections to the Web. Instead, the store manager simply needs to turn on their PC and connect to the Planet City back-end to learn if any orders have been placed for their goods or services.
Planet City Software plans to focus its sales and marketing efforts for the E-COMM-KIT towards computer resellers, as these are the sales organizations which most small businesses approach to learn more about developing an e-commerce site. With the E-COMM-KIT, computer resellers will now have access to the first fully integrated, out-of-the-box retail solution that can quickly and affordably satisfy the e-commerce needs of their small business customers.
Initial deliveries of the E-COMM-KIT are scheduled to begin during the latter part of Q1 1999. For more information, contact Planet City Software by phone at 514/844-6454 or via fax at 514/844-6880.
