SciCode released Webfuel, a new e-commerce
package targeted at large online catalog and business to business markets,
consisting of a Web-specific programming language, server and other features.
Webfuel allows rapid development of e-commerce solutions with complete
platform independence and native database connectivity to legacy systems, the
company said.
The foundation of the software package is a standards-based programming
language designed specifically for e-commerce, which has been in development
for over two years, the company said.
A site programmed in Webfuel has “unprecedented reliability and can handle an
enormous database of items and heavy user traffic,” SciCode said. Also
included in the package is a browser-based administration program, which
allows the user control over implementation and maintenance of commerce
functions.
“The Webfuel package is so broad that it is easily adaptable to any line of
business, yet it can be easily administered by even a novice computer user,”
said Jon Siegelman, president of SciCode.
“Included in this package is a promotion module with an
incredible array of options. It allows for everything from a global promotion
for the whole site to a single promotion that triggers only when a user buys
a certain product at a certain quantity in a special price group. And there
is even the ability to override default
promotions for those special customers.”
Price points were not disclosed.
