BV Software ships BV Commerce Pro

05/16/2002

BV Software LLC, a Richmond, VA based software development company announced today the release of BV Commerce Pro, a powerful new open source version of its ASP.NET e-commerce software targeted at service providers who serve the needs of small to medium sized businesses. One of the first e-commerce applications to use the Microsoft.NET platform, BV Commerce Pro allows web developers to easily create completely customizable e-commerce solutions with the benefit of a well-designed framework that makes it possible to publish a professional store in minutes.

BV Commerce is a full web-based and managed e-commerce solution for new or existing web site customers. Features include unlimited categories and *subcategories (BV Commerce Pro), products and coupon based discounts, services such as e-mail to a friend, related items and gift-wrapping, and built in templates and color schemes. The easy-to-use interface includes complete product, inventory, sales, customer and affiliate management, a customer administered, personalized "My Account" section, and "one-click" automatic image uploads in three sizes. Real time shipping and a variety of payment processors make ordering simple, and customers will appreciate saved shopping carts and automatic log-ins. Both BV Commerce Pro and BV Commerce support Access and SQL databases.

"My background is in building enterprise level e-commerce sites, and I know that developers need a lot of flexibility, as well as a great framework," said Marcus McConnell, Founder and President of BV Software. "I didn’t see any reason why a local Mom and Pop store couldn’t have the same quality and features of a site like Amazon.com."

Customers can expect significant long-term savings at a one-time price of $1,499 per server. BV Commerce can still be purchased as a closed source turnkey solution for $499 licensed per web site.
