And Accept More Global Payments For Frictionless Online Selling
Avangate, the modern Digital Commerce solution provider trusted by thousands of Software, SaaS and Online Services companies to grow their business worldwide, today announced over 150 enhancements to its Avangate Digital Commerce platform. These new features are aimed at simplifying customer acquisition, increasing revenue uplift and conversions, and driving recurring revenue worldwide.
“We are increasingly moving beyond the single purchase to literally hundreds of revenue moments, whether accepting a trial, first usage bill, or for a call to the service center,” said Michael Ni, CMO and SVP of Products at Avangate. “For the rapidly growing digital goods, software and services vendors, an estimated 10-20 percent of potential revenue is leaked across these revenue moments creating a major ROI problem. This Fall release is focused on helping customers convert revenue leakage to revenue uplift.”
Avangate’s Digital Commerce platform enables businesses to sell directly to customers via online channels, where traditional sales tactics are too expensive and slow. These new enhancements complement the company’s proven fast and secure commerce platform used by over 4,000 software, SaaS and online services companies across the globe.
“Avangate has enabled us to take some major leaps forward regarding business optimization, integration with third-party applications, new online sales channels and improving commerce KPIs. We’ve seen a revenue uplift of more than 30 percent and we have more projects lined up that will support our growth further and improve customer experience through frictionless selling,” said Angel Brown, Director, Product Marketing, FineReader LOB, ABBYY NAHQ.
