SmartOSC Corp. and Virtual Logistics Inc. today announced the formation of a partnership to combine web store development expertise and back-end integration expertise for customers around the world. Using SmartOSC’s, Magento based SAAS ecommerce platform and Virtual Logistics’ SAAS Integration as a service platform, customers can now take advantage of a complete and fully integrated solution that connects their ecommerce business to their internal applications as well as their 3PL and fulfillment facilities.

The ecommerce solution can be fully customized to the online merchants requirements and allows them to take advantage of all Magento’s features. By extension with the integration as a service solution, the customer also gets away from expensive custom program development often required to connect the web store to back-office operations.

The Web Store Solution: Magento is the leading ecommerce platform for online business. With +100,000 active web stores, Magento has become the favorite frontend of international merchants looking to take their businesses to the next level. The demand for backend integration with 3rd parties is continuously increasing and that’s where the Integration as a service solution fits.

“In working with Virtual Logistics, we have experienced an excellent partnership. By joining forces, we have been able to provide a complete solution to our customers while optimizing the flexibility of technology and competitiveness in pricing. With the robustness of the integration system, a reliable solution can be delivered to our customers within a very quick turnaround time”, said Viet Le Hong, CEO of SmartOSC.

The Integration as a Service Solution: Using world class integration technology the SAAS based platform is flexible and configurable to allow for multiple integrations in a cost effective and timely manner. The solution supports EDI, XML, spreadsheet, and csv file formats. Current back office integrations include many 3PL and fulfillment houses as well accounting, ERP packages and shipping systems.

“We at Virtual Logistics are really excited about forming a partnership with SmartOSC. We have worked with SmartOSC for the past three years and they bring solid expertise in ecommerce to the table. Working with them rounds out our ability to offer a complete solution to customers who want web store and ecommerce integration”, said Robin H. Smith, General Manager, Sales and Marketing at VL.
