Ian Brown, Technical Project Manager, shares plans for exciting new Cloudfy features in 2022. Extending the roadmap of Cloudfy's additional features for 2022 and early 2022, there are other powerful new B2B ecommerce tools coming down the road. Here are a few to look out for in response to feedback from Cloudfy's customers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the expectations of B2B buyers increase, the race is on to meet and exceed their requirements. Obviously, you will want an ecommerce platform that's fast and efficient, but it is clear customer experience (CX) and simplicity of use are extremely high on the priority list for 2022.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One from the first new Cloudfy features for 2022 in reaction to customer requirements and needs will be a comprehensive loyalty points release with further enhancements added in the past year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Users can manage their own or and external points-based loyalty systems with various in-built settings for example user workflows. For the internally managed option users build up points to spend on behalf of their organization. In business to business (B2B) environment multiple people can add points and somebody can then be authorized to invest them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Alternatively, what exactly could be calculated on an external system with Cloudfy passing through such things as orders to become processed. The points will accumulate in the external system that will communicate back an account balance of current points for every customer, who are able to then spend them via Cloudfy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This allows Cloudfy users to consider benefit of multiple external loyalty schemes. It's coordinated in the point of payment, which may be customized to link to their specific external system to bring back the relevant documents to Cloudfy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ian Brown says: “It's an elaborate and feature-rich solution which will meet the requirements of people who want to fully manage a loyalty points scheme within Cloudfy and people who use other third party loyalty vendor options like Oracle's NetSuite, for example, or a mixture of both”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In later releases other popular options like Givex will also be included along with enhancements for retail users who don't put on exactly the same workflow requirements. This feature has already been evolving and eventually, instead of fully paying for a purchase using points, it will be possible to make partial payments combining points with other methods such as payment on account or credit card.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2022 will even see the release of the Cloudfy multi-store feature which is a significant enhancement for customers who wish to manage multiple front-end stores from one backend dashboard.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It's a classy solution that will allow users to seamlessly manage the complexness of multiple stores serving different countries or customers with varied pricing, products, and branding. Each store may have a different domain name associated with exactly the same Cloudify instance having a shared common backup.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ian Brown explains the advantages: “This would allow a person to produce a UK site having a .co.uk domain name, and then abide by it with a store for Ireland having a .ie domain name. The very first site will be employed in pounds sterling and 2nd site will have pricing in euros while another American .us site would run in dollars”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Cloudfy multi-store set of features is extremely powerful, including multi-language operations so that users can set a different language for each store, which is essential for businesses that want multiple international storefronts. To minimize guesswork, gleam planned enhancement that will permit users to switch into multi-language mode using a simple tool to hover on the term or phrase they would like to find in the equivalent in the backend system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Cloudfy team has always recognized the significance of easy interfaces and user-friendliness so they will be making lots of front-end enhancements in 2022.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Work is underway to supply a headless option allowing Cloudfy users to become fully focussed on customer experience and branding, decoupled from their backend systems. This can provide the freedom to produce bespoke skins and themes for their sites alongside Cloudfy's powerful ecommerce functionality.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ian Brown sees this like a powerful option for companies that need to deliver exceptional customer experiences: “The moment you separate the front end from the actual ecommerce engine it's in the hands of Cloudfy's customers what they want to show and just how. Otherwise, we should test to ensure every new feature works together with every single Cloudfy theme, which slows down the expansion process. It is so important that we're fully focused on causeing this to be feature smooth so that it will operate efficiently. However, few people will want to take up this method so we will still retain the capability to customize our own Cloudfy themes for our customers<\/em>“.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n People will even see even more intuitive interfaces for Cloudfy the coming year with refined custom menus, for instance, which will possess a smarter interface and will be paginated rather than appearing like a list, which could be slow to load. Users will also be in a position to search and access specific custom menus that will save your time, compared to scrolling through lists. You'll also have new automated options such as scheduling specific menus for special B2B promotions on Black Friday, for instance, or showing some menus only to certain customers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There's also more work underway to improve Cloudfy's efficiency and speed. Development of Cloudfy's marketing module will integrate typical promotions which are common in retail environments for B2B world, such as purchase one, acquire one free two for just one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There will be many more regular enhancements and, continuing to move forward, you will see opportunities for customers to get involved to assist us you prioritized new features.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To see what you could already do using the powerful Cloudfy platform, book a totally free demonstration.<\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ian Brown, Technical Project Manager, shares plans for exciting new Cloudfy features in 2022.
