There are no shortcuts to the OMNI Channel eCommerce business and at Zingerbee^© we do not build Websites; we build OMNI Channel eCommerce Engines and Technology assets.

Technology is the core of any OMNI Channel eCommerce business. Therefore, it is of critical importance to ensure that the correct technology assets are built / acquired to operate the business.

At Zingerbee^© we not only help you build your OMNI Channel eCommerce Engine, but we also help you build your internal capabilities to continue to optimize and upgrade the Engine with your own in-house development team.

Web technology is constantly evolving, developing, and being upgraded. This poses an advantage to those businesses which are constantly adopting new innovations and upgrading their system and is the biggest disadvantage to business which treat technology as a static process.

There are numerous off-the-shelf technology products available (both paid and free to use versions) to acquire. These can be deployed on as-is-where-is basis or can be modified to suit the business requirement. The challenge arises when modifications are needed to meet business operating requirements. These off-the-shelf technology products do not share their core source code, therefore any modification/change which is required by the business must be layered over the core source code.

At Zingerbee© we advocates custom built eCommerce engine for clients who are serious about their OMNI Channel initiative. Off the shelf eCommerce products that claim you can build an eCommerce website in 5-minutes for free are good to use, if you do not have serious business goals. In all honesty we all know there is nothing which comes for free. We have invariably seen our clients being held back in their business growth and optimization due to the wrong technology choices they have made in the past. As they say, being Paise wise is being Rupee foolish.

MYTHBUSTING: A common mistake made by management teams is the believe that websites which look good, which have a lot of images and interactive features are better appreciated by internet users. Practically the more images and features which are added to a webpage, the slower it becomes. The best User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) for websites are the “simplest” and not the “best looking”. If there is any doubt about this fact, check the UI and UX of any successful eCommerce websites.

UI is the graphic side of web design. UX deals with web ergonomics, or the science of how customers behave online. Whereas UI designers are tasked with deciding how the user interface will look, UX designers oversee determining how the user interface operates.

We at Zingerbee^© excel at optimized Frontend Coding and Technology. It is critical to remember Frontend Coding & Technology directly affects the webpage download speed, and speed is critical to a successful OMNI Channel eCommerce business.

A “Mobile First” approach involves designing a desktop site starting with the mobile version, which is then adapted to larger screens (contrary to the traditional approach of starting with a desktop site and then adapting it to smaller screens). A mobile-first approach means building your website with your mobile users in mind, with the main goal of improving these mobile users’ experience on your site.

At Zingerbee^© our entire frontend and backend is built around the mobile website and mobile applications. Responsive Webpages for Mobile devices are different from Mobile First Websites. Although Mobile responsive and mobile first have some of the same ingredients, but their methods, approaches, and strategies are totally different.

Mobile responsive is an approach to technological web design where CSS is used to adapt the website to the platform on which it is displayed. The coding is more difficult, and the interface still always sets desktop specifications at the forefront. In other words, the website was initially developed for laptop users and then made to function on handheld devices.

Mobile First is a programming technique, on the other hand. While it can use a mobile responsive platform, it first and foremost addresses the needs of mobile users. You design a website that considers the bulk of users (on phones) first, rather than making a laptop website and only pushing it to fit in a mobile package.

It is impossible to ignore the impact of ERP in today’s business world. As enterprise data and processes are corralled into ERP systems, businesses can align separate departments and improve workflows, resulting in significant bottom-line savings. Our ORIOR^© ERP system is a best in class product, currently serving over 100 clients across various industries. There are great benefits to a good ERP system:

1.               Improved business insight from real-time information generated by reports

2.               Lower operational costs through streamlined business processes and best practices

3.               Enhanced collaboration from users sharing data in contracts, requisitions, and purchase orders

4.               Improved efficiency through a common user experience across many business functions and well-defined business processes

5.               Consistent infrastructure from the back office to the front office, with all business activities having the same look and feel

6.               Higher user-adoption rates from a common user experience and design

7.               Reduced risk through improved data integrity and financial controls

8.               Lower management and operational costs through uniform and integrated systems

However, and critically, organizations grow and change overtime. As does the business environment. And most importantly with time technology upgrades and technology changes become a major factor in determining whether the ERP system is still able to help the organization function efficiently.

Ultimately ERP systems are run by people. Human acceptance of ERP system is a critical factor in the success or failure of the system. A common reason for ERP implementation failure has been because of lack of understanding of the system by its users. Ergonomic GUI and UX is a critical factor when it come to the success and failure of an ERP system. ERP developers are now extremely focused on ensuring that users feel that their system is “easy to understand and use”. Adding dashboard customization and process customization by the users makes the ERP system user friendly and increases the user acceptance of the ERP system. Our ORIOR^© ERP system is built around people which makes it extremely easy to adopt and use.
