Early Learning Centre (ELC) has launched a new mobile commerce website with complete product portfolio and full integration into its main e-commerce site and back office systems. The implementation partner on the project was Javelin Group.

Jas Virdee, executive director at Mothercare, says: ‘In January this year, we made a tough request of Javelin Group to help us move into mobile commerce by delivering our mobile site by April. They met this challenge, working efficiently with our team to deliver a high quality site within our budget and timeframe. We have already seen an uptake of the site with orders being taken on the first day of our soft launch.”

Tony Stockil, CEO at Javelin Group, comments: “So far, relatively few retailers have successfully built a fully-integrated mobile site on their base ecommerce platform. We are very pleased to have delivered such a high quality solution on time and within budget.”

Retail should not be a high-risk occupation. As a company, we are focused on listening to our colleagues and customers to help them with the issues they are facing in-store and so far, the feedback on our body cameras has been excellent. They act as a great visual deterrent, help to de-escalate situations and overall, this project has significantly aided our goal to make the retail environment safer.
