Description
Second Phase was started 14 years ago based on the idea that companies like yours could use help creating web-based solutions that bring real results to your bottom line at a reasonable cost. To accomplish that goal, Second Phase leverages our 25 years of experience in developing, selling and supporting software products. With 14 of those years focused on web-based business and commerce applications for companies like yours, we’ve honed our reputation as as the premier company in our field.
8 years ago, Second Phase was chosen from group of competitors to take over the custom web commerce needs of Epicor Eclipse customers. Eclipse is a leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system used by over 800 distribution companies across the USA and Canada. Their parent, Epicor Software Corporation (recently combined with Activant Solutions Inc.), is a global leader in delivering business software solutions to the manufacturing, distribution, retail and services industries.
One of the top reasons for the success of the XML Web Commerce solution is our extensive list of options to make the product truly unique to your needs. To help our customers better understand the options and what they can mean to their business we have recently added a suite of recorded demos showing the options in action on our customer websites. To find these demos go to the options page and look for the demo links next to a given option.
For the past 10 years, Second Phase has focused exclusively on taking distributors into high end marketing, customer support and eCommerce solutions previously only available to the largest online distributors and wholesalers. We provide a complete “customer portal solution” that is unmatched in the distribution industry.number of distributors, and some manufacturers, discussed e-marketing and more importantly e-commerce (commerce enabled websites) at the recent NAED Eastern Conference. It appears that the impetus for this has been the continued growth, and competitiveness, of Grainger , who now reportedly books 30% of its business (and wants to get it to 50%) electronically (don’t know if it is all via the website) and the presumed involvement of Amazon Supply into the channel (since they are currently working on complementary markets but there are a number of manufacturers, and some distributors, who sell on Amazon or in Amazon Supply). So, the arms race begins!.
