Implement an eCommerce platform with the technical support included to start operating immediately.

How Softtek comes into play

The client chose Softtek to deploy an end-to-end Digital Sales Services solution after a competitive bidding process. The digital commerce portal, last-mile services, and backend logistics services helped the organization transition from Capex to Opex, lower expenses, and maximize the efficiency of logistics processes.

Softtek’s smart commerce services enabled the client to use five KPIs to evaluate the effectiveness and performance of the portal and customer journey (conversion funnel, journey analysis, product and shopping cart analysis). Softtek also implemented a chat bot for added customer experience benefits.

Softtek implemented an eCommerce platform covering prescriptions, product specifications, medicines, and other requirements of Chilean legislation to sell medicine through digital channels.

Softtek implemented a store selection algorithm integrated with the client’s legacy systems to execute the orders on the eCommerce portal. The service integrates third-party logistics providers selected by the client for last-mile delivery to achieve its goal of delivering merchandise the same day and with a maximum of 2 days difference.
