Totowa, NJ (PRWEB) September 07, 2011

Dydacomp, a leading provider of business technology platforms for eCommerce and multichannel merchants, today announced the release of Multichannel Order Manager (M.O.M.), Version 8, the only PCI compliant order management solution built for eCommerce, multi-channel and distribution businesses. The new release arms small and medium-sized merchants with powerful features that enable them to ensure order authenticity, connect to virtually any eCommerce shopping cart or 3rd party system, protect their bottom line from fraud, customize the system to their unique needs in ways never available to them in earlier releases, and open new sales channels to accelerate revenue growth.

M.O.M. Version 8 reflects the strategic changes Dydacomp has made to provide SMBs with the complete solution needed to compete and thrive in the eCommerce marketplace. By incorporating an open API in the release, clients are able to continue using their established eCommerce platforms while integrating a complete order management solution. Merchants who have an established eCommerce store can now easily implement an order processing solution, which is needed to compete with larger online merchants.

"There are three main market forces we recognize and are addressing in M.O.M. Version 8," said Fred Lizza, Dydacomps CEO. "First, the majority of new sales growth for small and mid-size merchants now comes from Internet sales. Second, we are seeing an across the board increase in fraudulent transactions. Finally, our customers asked us for more flexibility to allow them to adapt the system to their unique business needs. By focusing on these areas, were really giving our clients the keys to drive their business."

Through M.O.M. Version 8s powerful API, clients can now interface with any eCommerce system and import orders as well as handle point-of-purchase or telephone orders, order workflow automation, inventory and customer information, freeing internal resources and expediting accurate order fulfillment. "You can use the system best suited to your needs and target audience. Theres no need to switch in order to take advantage of M.O.M.s back-office functionality, " Fred continued. "In addition, weve enabled M.O.M users to immediately take advantage of new revenue streams through business channels such as Amazon Marketplace and eBay. We also added controls to allow each customer to automatically identify and carve-out suspicious transactions so they can protect their bottom line by catching fraudulent orders before they ship. And M.O.M. Version 8 delivers new user-driven features that enable them to customize as needed without losing the benefit of a fully-supported system and future upgrades."

By offering a built-in connection that meets Amazons 2012 requirements, M.O.M. Version 8 gives clients the ability to reach the companys 130 million customers. The Amazon feature opens the door for SMBs to easily sell through Amazon Marketplace to increase revenue and brand visibility. Additional features in M.O.M. Version 8 improve customer communications through customizable invoices and paperless invoicing as well as enhance General Ledger exports for accounting systems.

"The latest version represents Dydacomps commitment to providing solutions that directly address the changing needs of the small to mid-sized multichannel merchant. Clients are able to achieve a significant return on investment, while gaining the tools and functionalities they must have in order to run efficient and effective multichannel businesses that compete with the largest eCommerce retailers in the market," added Fred.
