Digitalmall.com, the first company to offer WAP shopping in SA, has developed a solution that will now enable companies to sell their products and services via WAP-enabled mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs. This enables a company to create a mobile Internet shop in under an hour, a first for SA.
Digitalmall.com is currently using WASP to sell goods on its own online retail sites. Some of the products you can now buy using your cellphone include flowers, chocolates, CDs and toys.
WASP stands for Wireless Application Service Provider, and is a secure and easy-to-use suite of products that takes E-Commerce to the mobile commerce (M-Commerce) arena.
Digitalmall.com CEO Yaron Assabi says it is forecast that within the next three years more people will be accessing the Internet via mobile devices than PCs. M-commerce is predicted to soon outstrip commerce via the Internet by a long way," he adds.
There are numerous WASP flavours covering different industries that provide a customised WAP offering with a unique look and feel. Currently available is WASP-Shop, and in the near future WASP-Auctions/Share Trading and Ticketing will make itself `heard`.
WASP-Shop, ideal for retailers, offers a secure and customised M-Commerce solution with many personalised features including:
A web site registration page, customised to suite their clients needs.
The use of multiple credit cards with names associated to them. No credit card details transmitted.
Multiple delivery addresses.
Multiple shopping baskets/lists that can be saved and retrieved at any time.
Full transaction history.
Live Help from the Digitalmall.com call centre.
A search facility allowing customers to search for an item.
A built-in sponsor advertising capability on each page allows specials and adverts to be directed to specific customers.
"The Digitalmall.com call centre offers complete WASP support where users can obtain assistance from our qualified team of WASP-Experts," Assabi concluded.
