Mobile is now. For many of us, our cell phones and other mobile devices are never out of sight. With our growing dependence on mobile devices, it’s no wonder that the mobile world is quickly becoming a new hub for business. Mobile commerce or m-commerce is the ability to conduct commerce using a mobile device, such as a mobile phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a smartphone, a tablet or other devices. With the proliferation of mobile devices, it has never before been so easy to shop, anywhere, anytime – right from the palm of your hand.

Mobile Direct

Even if you are not using our Total Commerce Platform, you can still benefit from powerful mobile commerce technology. Mobile Direct was developed as a stand-alone web based service to allow you to launch a powerful, feature rich mobile commerce site while still using your existing ecommerce provider.

How does it work?

Mobile Direct is powered by the industry’s leading proxy server technology, which seamlessly converts your existing e-commerce website on the fly for user-friendly interaction on smartphones such as iPhone and Google Android. There is no need to perform complex internal integration with your existing e-commerce database. The proxy technology elegantly acts as a gateway between your e-commerce website and mobile devices without any additional server side programming or business logic. All orders placed on mobile devices are processed securely and normally through your existing e-commerce website. Online customers can track their orders and perform any function available on your regular e-commerce website. Best of all, you need not change the way you currently do business.
