Act-3D Selects Avangate for Selling Software Online
Global software sales and seamless integration with back-end systems
Amstelveen, The Netherlands - April 11th, 2011 - Avangate, full service provider of eCommerce and partner management solutions for software vendors, has recently been selected by Act-3D, producer of real-time 3D authoring packages, to sell their Lumion software online on a global basis. Avangate helps Act-3D shorten the sales cycle and improve order handling operations.
"Our goal behind creating this software is to offer the fastest workflow possible. Waiting for ages to render images and movies now belongs to the past. The same had to apply to purchasing: we wanted to sell Lumion globally and allow people to order and use it instantly after ordering", said Ferry Marcellis, CEO and founder of Act-3D.
"Using Avangate makes a huge difference. They have a straightforward system for managing online orders, as well as integration facilities for our own back-end system. We have much less work since taking Avangate onboard and are very happy with our decision", continued Marcellis.
"Avangate is enabling software vendors such as Act-3D to focus on improving revenue through efficient sales processes and market expansion. Plus we take away all the hassle of order management and payment collection. We are also pleased when we have the opportunity to make a difference to our vendors' way of working, in this case mostly to sales and operational departments", said Laurentiu Ghenciu, VP, Global Sales and Marketing at Avangate.
Avangate puts at Act-3D's disposal a multi-language shopping cart matching the look and feel of the Lumion website and a wide variety of payment methods allowing the software vendor to market and sell the Lumion product on a global basis, without additional costs. Shopper support for order and payment issues is provided round the clock by Avangate, 365 days a week. The Avangate Control Panel comes with marketing and sales tools designed for software sales including renewal, upgrade and subscription capabilities as well as powerful reporting.
