Digital River has launched a new global B2B e-commerce site to merchandise and sell leadership development products for publisher Lominger International, a Korn/ Ferry International company. In addition to running the new online store for Lominger, Digital River is also assisting in developing strategic promotional campaigns and optimising site performance.

Digital River’s e-commerce product ensures that the store can handle global tax requirements and export regulations, comply with domestic and international denied parties screening, and monitor for fraud.

Joel Ronning, CEO of Digital River, said: Digital River has the e-commerce tools and technologies to help companies more effectively and efficiently sell directly to their small business and enterprise customers on a global basis. We can help companies tailor private portals and pricing strategies and handle complex margins, cross-border deliveries and international payments. These and other global e-commerce capabilities as well as our ability to offer end-to-end e-commerce services, are positioning the company for significant growth in the B2B market.

Reportedly, the new Lominger site also offers numerous global payment methods, including all major credit cards, European debit and credit cards, and wire transfers and ACH payments.

Stuart Kaplan, global COO of leadership and talent consulting practice at Korn/Ferry, said: One of our main goals in launching this new B2B online store is international expansion, including strengthening our global commercial business and entering new geographies. Digital River specialises in this area with its global e-commerce solution and support services. By working with Digital River, we intend to make the most of our opportunities in each of our target markets.
