Upshot Commerce Launches New Site Design, International Service for Cosabella

    SALEM, MA, April 16, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Upshot Commerce has successfully launched a fully-redesigned site for Cosabella, a luxury lingerie designer, providing them with a responsive ecommerce site optimized for customers across the globe. Additionally, they have launched a new sister brand, CSBLA, offering luxury apparel reflecting the signature look and style of Cosabella lingerie.

Cosabella needed a platform that could support international storefronts, offer local currency conversions and multiple languages. Moreover, they needed easy-to-use inventory control tools, integration with multiple ERP systems, and dynamic merchandising tools to their vibrant and diverse collections. The Upshot platform offered scalability and usability while allowing Cosabella to select only the ecommerce extensions necessary for their business needs.

Cosabella brought a checklist of over 100 variables to Upshot for consideration - and Upshot was able to to build a customized platform that delivered on nearly every metric. The new Cosabella site allows the company to manage multiple warehouses across the United States and Europe, offer native languages and nation-specific storefronts for international customers, provides merchandising tools for easy and consistent updates across international sites, and usability for customers across the globe. As Courtney Connell, manager of ecommerce for Cosabella explains, "I think most other platforms would have left us wanting more ... Upshot left us with so much potential that it will take us a bit to be able to utilize all of the tools at our fingertips."

In addition to an updated, fresh look, the new Cosabella website includes features such as:

Integrated, international storefronts
Local currency-display for international customers
Multi-lingual storefronts, allowing customers to shop in their preferred language
Guest, Social, and quick Account check-out
Browseable catalog and look-book
Easy-to-create wish lists and gift registries
Customer loyalty reward program
Integrated helpdesk and CRM
Automated product pairing and upsell opportunities
Seamless ERP integration for multiple storefronts

All of these features will allow Cosabella to more effectively serve customers in the United States, European countries, and across the world. Visitors to the new Cosabella site are automatically directed to the appropriate storefront - based on their location - and in many cases can select their preferred language for browsing - English, Spanish, Italian, German, French. Native currencies, useful and common payment methods, and local shipping options provide a familiar shopping cart experience for customers, no matter their location. The separate storefronts allow Cosabella to provide unified branding across their sites while also customizing content for clients based on their location.

The easy-to-update, integrated inventory system makes managing all these storefronts a breeze. Distinct ERP systems for the respective storefronts sync seamlessly, allowing for accurate planning, reporting, and reporting across the system. As Connell explains, "Everything about Upshot from the product onboarding process to the customer service dashboard was created for a fast pace company like us. The interface is well thought out so that when you need something it's there." Whether from their design headquarters in Miami or production headquarters in Italy, Cosabella is able to manage all aspects of their global ecommerce production, merchandising, customer service, and order delivery.
