Intershop Enterprise software, which is the most powerful in the Intershop eCommerce software range, forms the backbone of the online platform from which Waterstonè s plans to sell its extensive range of 1. 2 million books. The website has been developed and project managed by Nvision an Intershop Solution Provider who has integrated the Intershop software with Waterstonè s entire book inventory and a secure method of payment and fulfilment. Special features include an automatic book data upload feed, personal library, order tracking and a quick search facility provided by Alta Vista.

Nvision built the whole site within 12 weeks; quite an amazing feat. It´s another great example of the scaleability and flexibility of Intershop eCommerce software which now powers more than 15, 000 live stores, more than any other vendor in the world. " The website is a key development in Waterstonè s retail strategy, which now puts it on a level playing field with the likes of Amazon, Whsmith and Bol. Com.
