Enterprise solution

No two pieces of software are the same – whether it’s an email program, a word processor, a browser or an ecommerce platform. Although one piece of software like a browser might be slightly better than another, it is generally a matter of choice as to which one to use.

However ecommerce software is one area of computing where results from each platform can mean vast differences in the sales and profits generated. In fact the ecommerce platform is often the deciding factor in online success – therefore it is critically important that a business chooses the right one.

The IRP is the right solution for ambitious retailers to expand on the global stage. It is an enterprise level ecommerce platform that can help retailers from the small to mid-market upwards to develop and implement a proven commerce strategy for sustained growth. The IRP is a fully-integrated multichannel solution combining multiple sales channels, award-winning international reach and a comprehensive set of features and tools.

Stable & scalable architecture

The IRP connects the digital and physical touch points with your customers which allows your various sales channels such as web, stock control, EPOS, phone and mobile to integrate together in real time.

It is a very stable platform, built to scale and process very high transaction volumes.

Secure cloud technology

IRP software is hosted in the cloud. Each user of the IRP has their own separate instance of the software that is populated with their data. The IRP itself is based on Microsoft technologies on an SQL Server Database. The IRP platform application is programmed on the .Net framework.

There is no requirement for any software to be installed on your devices to run the IRP. All you need is a broadband connection and a browser. The IRP is also PCI Level 1 compliant – this means a maximum level of security for your data and credit cards.

For more detail, see PCI Compliance.

Centralised administration

The IRP Admin area is where you can fully administrate and operate all areas of the IRP. It is fully secure and Admin rights are governed by role-based permissions.

For an introduction and summary of IRP Admin, see Getting Started with IRP Admin.

Comprehensive features

The IRP is packed full of features that help you to build a world class website.

Multichannel coverage

The IRP seamlessly combines sales channels and digital marketing channels with a centralised system. This makes life simple for everyone using the IRP and maximises sales opportunities.

Telesales is an easy-to-use feature which enables your call centre or customer services team to quickly process phone orders or take over a customer’s basket at the touch of a button.

Till

The IRP includes a fully-integrated EPOS system that allows you to deploy multiple tills across multiple locations.
