AK-IT pushes online sales

VAR refreshes website and links through to its distributors

VAR AK-IT Solutions has revamped its web site and e-procurement offering to bolster its online sales.

The firm, which launched its site in 2002, has spent the past year modifying its online offering and linking with its two main distribution partners, to give customers a greater idea of stock availability.

Highlights of the service include personalised catalogues for each customer, individual spend limits for multiple users and a management report building tool to help firms monitor IT spend.

Stephen McNairn, marketing manager at AK-IT, said: “We decided that now was the time to refresh the site and to link into distribution a bit more closely.

“We already do 40 per cent of our sales through the web site, and we are looking to grow that.”
