Melbourne, Australia, November 13, 2013 – Intershop Communications APAC today announces that the Australia Post’s direct to consumer online store at shop.auspost.com.au has successfully been launched on the Intershop 7.3 e-commerce platform.
The Intershop team based in Melbourne built and managed this first project in conjunction with Australia Post’s internal digital team, planning not just for a standalone web shop, but creating a true digital platform that can be leveraged for future online initiatives as required. Leveraging an Intershop managed virtualized infrastructure, the system was deployed in under six months and is now being run by Intershop via a 24 x 7 x 365 Managed Services based agreement.
The shop itself includes a number of unique features, including the ability to ship internationally, an ability to purchase pre-paid credit cards, and a variety of other parcel products. A front end responsive design based user interface has been included, allowing the same look and feel to be seen by most leading smart phones and tablets – including via the native Australia Post app – with non-technical Australia Post staff able to manage all product, catalogue content and order data as needed through the same web based back office.
