Znode Storefront was built using real customer feedback and over 20,000 man hours of development, which has made it a "best of breed" e-commerce platform for developing world-class solutions. Here are the top benefits of Znode:

Source code included with all editions

Most storefronts charge extra for source code. We feel that it is meaningless to sell an e-commerce "framework" without source code. With Znode Storefront, every edition includes ASP.NET, C# source code and SQL Server 2005 database at no extra charge.

100% customizable solution

Other storefronts have limited customization capabilities and use proprietary technologies that require a steep learning curve. Znode Storefront on the other hand offers virtually unlimited customization to fit your unique business requirements using a standards based architecture. This ensures that you are not "boxed-in" by the platform in any way.

Industry standard architecture

Other storefronts claim to use N-Tier architecture and "best practices" only in theory. Znode Storefront has been written from the ground up with over 20,000 man hours of development using the Microsoft Prescribed Patterns and Practices. Checkout an overview of the Znode Storefront architecture.

Enterprise class solution

Znode Storefront is successfully used by large established enterprises such as GiftCertificates.com ($100 million revenue), LoJack.com ($200 million revenue), First National Bank of Arizona ($6 billion in assets), Ohio State University (ranked top 10 university in the US) and several others. Znode Storefront meets the stringent reliability & security standards of these world class organizations.

FedEx® compatible solution

Znode Storefront has undergone rigorous testing to be certified as a FedEx® compatible solution. Our application has been independantly tested by the FedEx development team to ensure a tight integration with FedEx® services.

"True" SKU & Inventory management

Product variations such as color and size are an essential part of most retail catalogs. Znode Storefront lets you specify as many variations on a product as you like. Each variation is uniquely tracked with it's own SKU and inventory level. Individual product variations can also have their own price and shipping weight. Other stores limit the number of variations or force you to list each variation as a separate product. Worse yet, many don't even track variations as separate inventory items. With the Znode Storefront there are no limitations.

Versatile Pricing & Promotions Engine

We guarantee that you wont find a storefront in the market that matches the extensive promotions capability built into Znode Storefront. You will have the ability to handle special pricing for complex dealer networks or promotional campaigns with ease!

Highly scalable platform

Znode Storefront currently powers large retail storefronts with 50,000 SKUs or more. Znode Storefront is the only storefront to officially support Load Balanced and Clustered server configurations.

Fit for both technical and non-technical users

Znode Storefront does not require any technical experience out of the box. A user-friendly administration tool is included with the storefront that business users can use to customize and manage the storefront on their own. Technical knowledge is required only for customizing the template or site design.
