Vcommerce will provide the e-commerce solution Reitmans requires to create the online storefronts with a unified shopping cart across all sites, multiple language support, loyalty programs, wish lists and secure transaction capabilities.

Vcommerce Enterprise is delivered as software as a service, which enables Reitmans to leverage the configurability and security of a behind the firewall software implementation, while enjoying ease of deployment, continuously updated feature sets, and availability of best-in-class partner components to provide for a truly future-proof solution.
Diane Randolph, vice president of information systems at Reitmans, said: Reitmans has been successfully running a brick and mortar retail operation for 80 years, but this is our first foray into online sales. We feel that now the time is right to provide customers with a content-rich online store, complete with multiple merchandise views and information, as well as transaction capabilities.
