Save money using ESP data to quickly build a custom e-commerce site
TREVOSE, PA – August 21, 2012 – The Advertising Specialty Institute® (ASI) today announced the launch of ASI SmartLink, a quick and easy business solution that supersizes any e-commerce site using ESP, the industry’s leading product data and search engine.
ASI SmartLink™ is an API that allows distributors to build a complete custom e-commerce solution using product data from ASI’s ESP®, ESP Websites™ and ESP Mobile™. Searches are powered via the Internet’s leading e-commerce shopping engine – the same searching engine used by major retailers Walmart.com, Barnes & Noble and Crate and Barrel.
In addition, website developers get top-notch ASI support and expertise, allowing companies to build a website with their own search engine optimization and back end to the Web – without having to build and maintain their own database.
ASI SmartLink features:
“ASI SmartLink is an essential tool for anyone building a custom e-commerce website because it saves money on developer costs and payroll, plus you have the added advantage of having the best product database in the industry at your fingertips,” said Armughan Rafat, executive vice president of ASI and chief technology officer of the ASI Family of Companies. “ASI SmartLink revolutionizes the way data is sourced and delivered, offering distributors a full slate of trusted, up-to-date supplier and product info, making it a snap to integrate superior content and images into any website.”
