Zmags Commerce Pro is a multichannel solution that blends content delivery with fully integrated commerce functionality. Commerce Pro delivers "shoppable" catalogs and content that are deployed from a clients website using existing infrastructure, product information and checkout technology. The experience represents a true path to conversion; a path from discovery to purchase all from a Catalog.
The Zmags Publicator creates interactive online content which, when using Commerce Pro, adds call to actions to the products that when provoked deliver Dynamic Product Windows (DPW) or Buy The Look (BTL) experiences from which products can be placed directly into an existing on-line shopping basket. The solution is time and cost efficient to integrate and manage. As the Zmags tool is cloud based updates can be made in minutes, analytical reports can be generated instantly and new content can be deployed on demand.
