See our planned updates to StoreFeeder’s user interface!

We’ve been having a bit of a tidy, and it’s not just a splash of colour. We revealed to our clients earlier this week a few changes we have in the pipeline for StoreFeeder’s layout, and I thought it was only fair that we share the news…

We’ve received some great feedback and suggestions over the months from existing StoreFeeder users, many of which we’ve already put into place. Due to the fast growth of features in the software, the layout has taken a bit of a back seat and we’ve been working hard on addressing this. So, our designers have been busy in the background putting in the ground work for an improved user interface.

The improved interface aims to be even more intuitive, making better use of the screen real estate and integrating ‘on page’ help with tips on the page’s functionality. Continue reading

Benefits of outsourcing fulfilment with UK Fulfilment

‘Benefits of outsourcing fulfilment’ is a guest post from Ian at UK Fulfilment, a fulfilment house based in Nottingham…

The very fact that you are looking at the StoreFeeder blog, means that you either are or you are considering selling your products on multiple sales channels. The evolution of the ecommerce market has been staggering and without fantastic pieces of multi-channel ecommerce software, like StoreFeeder, to help companies manage their stock and sales activity, time would be a very precious resource in this industry.

Time, an interesting concept, who could not do with more time in the day, more time to source new products, or new suppliers for your existing ones, or even (dare I say it) relax away from the business!

The selling of a product is just the start of the journey, it means that you have done the right things so far. You have a product that the customer wants and at a price they are happy to pay. Your sales channel is good and the customer feels a sense of trust to buy from you.

But this really is the start of the journey and this journey is where ‘time’ is often a factor in whether your customer will ultimately be happy with you and their purchase.
