Thomas Mangelsen's Images of Nature Launches E-commerce Website Using Warp 9 Platform
September 25, 2006 - Santa Barbara, CA - Warp 9, Inc., the premier provider of robust e-commerce platforms and services, today announced the launch of Mangelsen.com, the official website for the acclaimed nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen.
The Mangelsen.com website, powered by the Warp 9 Internet Commerce System (ICS), features over a thousand of Thomas Mangelsen's best and most recent works and products - which are also featured throughout the country in 16 retail stores and galleries located in various upscale markets.
"We evaluated numerous vendors and e-commerce platforms against the unique requirements of Mangelsen.com. The comprehensive set of features and flexibility of Warp 9 ICS along with Warp 9's knowledge of e-commerce impressed us the most. Warp 9 solved all the problems our previous solution could not and they literally gave us everything we asked for. The Warp 9 solution was able to accommodate our complex shipping and pricing rules as well as allow us to use a custom design that we developed in-house. With their expert advice, we used the advanced "product configuration" features of ICS to lets customers easily customize their final product. This made life extremely easy for us from a data management and merchandising standpoint," said John McGauvran, Thomas D. Mangelsen's Director of Marketing.
The product configuration feature allows the consumer to choose from a variety of product options and additions, such as size, matting and framing options, and choices for glass - including the special NatureView glass that Mangelsen recommends for reducing reflected light and capturing the vibrant colors and subtle hues so brilliantly captured in his photographs.
Visit our site at Warp9inc.com to see why so many catalogers and retailers are shifting over to the Warp 9 ICS e-commerce platform.
