Gravit-e in the news

E-commerce provider helps clients to achieve £10m

Leading e-commerce solutions provider Gravit-e is celebrating record turnover success for its clients as it continues to grow its presence in the marketplace.

Gravit-e, part of the software solutions provider, FD Systems, has helped its client's turnover more than £10m in the last four months through implementing its cutting edge technology.

Set up in 2008, Gravit-e was launched in response to its customers growing needs to upgrade their websites e-commerce functionality.

Allowing complete e-commerce development, from web design and hosting, through to integration and e-marketing, Gravit-e has been developed to provide customers with the tools and support required to make the most efficient use of internet technology, e-commerce and e-business.

Richard Nash, Business Development Manager at Gravit-e, said: "We are delighted with the recent trading figures for our clients which further reaffirm the demand for e-commerce functionalities.

In recent years e-commerce has become a fundamental requirement for most business and increasingly our customers have been responding to market conditions and upgrading their websites to provide e-commerce solutions"

"One of the strengths of our business lies in the breadth and depth of the functionality of our product. The product has been built to manage and include all of the key features and functions that a complete e-commerce solution demands, allowing our customers online presence to evolve and change as quickly as their customers needs do."

On the back of its recent success, Gravit-e based in Wales has doubled its head count in the last three years, investing in the talent of graduates to join its current team of developers, designers, Google certified SEO experts, support consultants and account managers.

Continued Richard "It is particularly rewarding to see young graduates that we have brought into the business make such a positive impact for our customers on what are largely traditional businesses. The reality is these young people have been born into and educated in this connected world and see ecommerce, social networking and unstructured communication as the only way to behave and work. I remind my clients that this group and their piers represent all our customers in the very near future and all businesses will need to change and evolve to do business with them".

Established in 1998, FD Systems started out as a reseller of Sage software. The company which has its headquarters in Cardiff has since developed its offering to encompass software solutions for customer acquisition, marketing and sales management, customer service, manufacturing, distribution financial control and management reporting.

The company is renowned for its Sage success, previously being named Sage Reseller of the Year for three consecutive years. FD Systems has offices across the UK and Ireland, employing over 120 staff and has a turnover of £11m.

Geoff Thomas, managing director of FD Systems Group, said: "As one of the UK's leading software solutions providers it is important for us to continually develop our offering in order to meet the changing needs of our clients. Despite our success to date, we continue to maintain an appetite for growth and this can only be achieved by providing customers with software solutions that demonstrate return on investment by delivering real business benefits, cost savings and increased efficiency.

"Evolving Gravit-e is the next natural step in our evolution, providing great capability to our customers. With a strong team of experts and graduates in place I am confident that we will be able to take the business forward. We are already delighted with the resounding success that we have achieved in this market to date".
