Behind-the-scenes the new Arc-Zone.com store offers many features so that Arc-Zone can continue providing quality products, superior technical consultation and unsurpassed service and support.
The streamlined content management system allows product to be added easily. “Welding is such a diverse industry,” says Jim Watson, Arc-Zone.com’s president and founder. “Discovering new products that improve weld quality, lower costs or minimize variables is one of the things I enjoy most about this business. Now once I’ve identified a high-quality, reliable source we’ll be able to get these products to the market quickly.”
Another feature that will benefit Arc-Zone’s online shoppers is that account managers can add store credit to a customer’s account or offer special pricing such as in the case of a school, distributor or reseller.
The entire store was developed using Zen Cart, by Arc-Zone’s web developer Jon Wade. “Zen Cart is a well supported open source e-commerce solution with a diverse user / developer community that will allow us to continually modify the store to best serve our customers,” says Wade.
Founded in June 1998, Arc-Zone delivers proprietary, brand name and OEM replacement parts and accessories for GMAW, GTAW and Plasma Arc Welding and Cutting applications to customers worldwide.
