29 July 2010

BSC solutions, a techmesh member, have developed an e-commerce solution with Strawberry - one of East Yorkshire's leading marketing and web design agencies - taking over £1.1M in online transactions, with the help of local communications provider KC
The solution is hosted on KC servers. KC’s business services team designed the technical infrastructure that the e-commerce programme sits on and provides continuous support as the number of transactions steadily increases. The servers currently host 11 of Strawberry’s e-commerce websites including local and national brands such as www.tigerleisure.com, www.motorwayshop.co.uk and Bristol City FC’s online store,www.bcfcmegastore.co.uk.
Mark Conway, Director of Business Services for KC, comments: “It’s great to see one of our clients celebrating such success! We are delighted to have helped Strawberry take over £1M in online transactions. We strive to work in partnership with all of our business customers to help them achieve their goals and look forward to helping both Strawberry and BSC Solutions develop the strength of their e-commerce offering.”
James Greenwood, New Media Director for Strawberry continues: “It goes without saying that we are delighted with how our e-commerce platform is performing. As more new clients come on board, additional pressure is put on our servers and the KC team is always on the ball with advice and solutions should any problems occur. Our account manager, Ben O’Leary, is in regular contact with us which has helped us to develop a genuine partnership with KC.”
Simon Crosby, Managing Director of BSC Solutions, concludes: “Having met with Mark and Ben at KC, I am confident that KC’s business team cares about our success. We have built a close relationship with them since we built our e-commerce programme. We can rely on them to be flexible without any stresses – which is essential when it comes to hosting e-commerce stores!”
