Ve Acquires Adaptive & Launches World's 1st E-Commerce Platform with Integrated Cart Recovery

    BOSTON, MA, June 13, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Ve Interactive, the data-driven-services expert, announced the acquisition of Adaptive Consultancy, a London digital marketing agency with a proprietary e-commerce platform.

As part of the acquisition, the newly branded VeCommerce platform has been re-launched as the world's first e-commerce software to have built-in, cart-recovery and remarketing technology. As a result, it is expected to be an extremely high-converting e-commerce platform, ideal for the contemporary demands of today's e-commerce market.

"We are delighted to welcome Adaptive," commented David Brown, co-Founder CEO, Ve Interactive. "This transaction represents a major step in the development of Ve Interactive's strategy. Adaptive is such an exciting company with strong leadership, talent and capability, and an impressive reputation for delivering product and services of high quality and value. The Ve-commerce platform is going to be a powerful proposition for our international client-base. In addition, we are excited to have Adaptive's team members on board and their expert digital skills will bring many other valuable contributions to our clients."

Five years in development, the Adaptive e-commerce platform was created in order to provide a more flexible and intuitive solution for the market place. Designed with the marketer in mind and providing advanced reporting systems, clients include: theletteroom.com, laraventura.co.uk, ichibaninternational.com, ollieandnic.com and daisyknights.com.

Ve Interactive recently worked with Adaptive to integrate its multi award-winning VeCapture and VeContact cart recovery and remarketing software directly within the platform.

"Ve Interactive has always been proud of our drive to provide renewed relevancy, to better serve the interests of our clients and their consumers, and Adaptive share this ethos of constant innovation," said Brown. "The launch of Ve-commerce marks a revolutionary step-change in the e-commerce industry's ability to address the productivity needs of online merchants today."

In addition to cart recovery and remarketing, features of the newly-launched VeCommerce platform include; efficient product management, easy content editing, marketing integration, merchandising tools, multiple automated promotional options, centralized order management, customer management, management reports, trade log-in and social network integration. All this, combined with Ve Interactive's existing data-driven-services and insight, means that VeCommerce will improve a merchant's prospects for customer acquisition, conversion and retention, making Ve Interactive one of the most exciting and active e-commerce and online efficiency companies in the marketplace today.

"We are thrilled to become part of the Ve Interactive vision," said Roddy Scaife - CEO, Adaptive Consultancy. "Ve Interactive's proven operational expertise and international reputation for being best-in-class shopping cart efficiency, with a record of generating returns that are among the highest in the industry, creates tremendous potential for growth opportunities. Where an online merchant can't achieve satisfactory conversions with their current e-commerce platform, VeCommerce will now provide a powerful alternative solution. It will certainly be ideal for merchants wanting to migrate their businesses online, or for those starting a completely new build, since a full CMS (Content Management System) interface is included within the platform."

Scaife will now take on the role of Creative Director at Ve Interactive.

Both companies share a responsible business culture that revolves around putting people first and there will be significant opportunities for career growth as a result of this winning combination too.
