Leveraging ModusLink® systems and technology,
ZEISS Consumer Products Division to Implement Fully Integrated and
Seamless Order Management and Payment Processes to Enable Global
Expansion
ModusLink Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ModusLink
Global Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNK), a global, omni-channel
technology and fulfillment provider, announced today that ZEISS
Consumer Products Division (COP), an internationally leading
technology enterprise, operating in the optics and optoelectronics
industries, selected ModusLink to implement a seamless buying and
return experience, resulting in enhanced customer and partner
relations. ZEISS COP will utilize ModusLink’s e-Commerce and
financial management services to optimize its order management,
fulfillment, returns and payment processes.
In 2006, ZEISS COP opened its online store, but as e-Commerce
gains popularity and digital storefronts become a growing priority,
ZEISS COP decided it’s time to give its digital offering a
facelift. These efforts require a partner that could create a
seamless interface between the online shop’s back-end system and
the antiquated order management and payment systems. ZEISS COP
selected ModusLink to implement its world-class e-Commerce and
financial management services, combining robust financial
management with fully integrated e-commerce and supply chain
processes for an optimized approach to channel expansion.
ModusLink’s comprehensive end-to-end solution is fully
integrated with global payment, CRM and fulfillment systems,
allowing ZEISS COP to quickly and easily expand into new regions
and countries. ModusLink's international footprint and ability to
seamlessly manage international currency conversions and localize
shipping allows ZEISS COP to expand geographically while
simultaneously scaling its online sales channel. Additionally,
ModusLink provides comprehensive risk management and fraud
protection along with customized monitoring and full compliance
capabilities.
"As the Internet continues to upend the traditional supply
chain, companies need help navigating this seismic shift in how
they must operate as they move increasingly to a direct-to-consumer
model," said Michel Da Silva, General Manager eBusiness at
ModusLink. "We have teamed up with ZEISS COP to help bolster its
online and international presence in a quick, efficient manner.
We’ve done this by establishing a robust and agile e-Commerce
solution that represents the first point of engagement in the
supply chain."
"With our digital presence becoming a growing force for the
company's ongoing success, it was crucial for ZEISS COP to create a
seamless customer experience by optimizing order management and
payment processes," said Heiko Bittner, Project Coordinator Digital
Sales at ZEISS. "We ultimately selected ModusLink for its ability
to offer streamlined back end functionality to ensure a positive
experience for customers. Additionally, ModusLink delivers the
peace-of-mind that the risks of doing business online and across
borders have been mitigated and that consistency and control is
maintained as we continue to expand."
