Pamaya Software Development, E-Commerce Services

E-commerce is an overarching term that includes email, electronic trading, electronic messaging, electronic data interchange, electronic catalogues, internet, intranet and extranet services. The benefits of investing in such technologies are well-documented but some of the high level benefits are :-

• Reach out to new markets across traditional geographic boundaries and expand your existing customer base.
• Provide cost-effective customer service with tools such as Frequently Asked Questions, delivery-tracking technology or personalised online customer accounts. It's win/win when e-commerce allows you to shift a lot of the 'burden' of service back onto the customer.
• Stay open for business 24-hours. Your customers can purchase online while you sleep.
• Potentially save money on labour, materials and other overheads and reduce your inventory holdings.

A press release by the National Statistics of UK says: " The value of Internet sales by businesses rose to £103.3 billion in 2005, an increase of 56 per cent on the 2004 figure of £66.2 billion."

It was also said that " Twenty eight million adults (60 per cent of the UK adult population) accessed the Internet in the 3 months period...", in the report by the National Statistics.

Taking the British Crime Survey's figure of 54% of those using the internet buying online, with the figure of 28 million internet users gives just over 15 million internet users who buy online - that's in the same ball park as the 12 million the original poster quoted.
