It allows businesses to fully configure and operate an online store from a web browser, anywhere at anytime. "Online commerce is a daunting concept for many businesses. It is perceived as an extremely expensive and technically demanding exercise," says Emedia�s Managing Director Carl McNeil. "We have endeavoured to remove the two most common barriers to entry into online commerce, technical understanding and cost. Marketeer overcomes both these obstacles. It doesn�t require that a business owner be a technical wizz to operate it, the software frees them up to concentrate on what they are good at � running their business" "Marketeer is very simple to operate, however is very sophisticated and powerful at it�s core," continues McNeil. "Microsoft New Zealand have performed a full architecture review on marketeer, the results where very pleasing" All Marketeer sites share some common features, including real-time catalogue updates, order tracking, catalogue searches, categories, basket editing, site usage statistics, online help, mailing lists and customer management. Shopper�s funds are placed seamlessly into each marketeer store owner�s bank account. The system is highly secure and does not store any credit card information. Richard Hay of the Southland Chamber of Commerce sees Marketeer as an ideal way for Southland businesses to get online. "I don�t believe that Southland businesses are capitalising on the opportunities available on the internet," says Hay. "Marketeer provides them with an easily accessible gateway into ecommerce."
