VITAL BGS is a leading E2E eCommerce provider. Its platform, experience, and technology allow businesses to exceed their customers' expectations in an age when the stakes continue to rise with advancements in the tech sphere. Retailers, typically slow to adapt to the latest Internet trends, social media craze and consumer expectations, are under heavier scrutiny than ever. Pressured to provide an engaging experience while increasing profitability, brands the world over must now choose a forward-thinking outreach or become the next laughing stock on late night television. Mr. LeFevre noted: "Well-known brands like BRIC'S Milano, Hard Tail Forever, Terrence Michael, Optimal Health Science, DoggieNation, Greg Norman Collection and DUNNING GOLF have found solace in the expertise and proven track record of VITAL BGS's passionate, specialized teams."

LeFevre went on to say that, "No matter how they're purchasing, consumers demand a premium experience. A finely tuned infrastructure is essential to delivering on customer expectations and maintaining relevance in the retail market," and he noted that, "Forrester Research* reported 49 percent of online retailers will invest anywhere from $500,000 to more than $20 million to deploy eCommerce strategies that give their customers the ability to shop with any device, have orders fulfilled and delivered at lightning speed, and make returns and exchanges effortless, cross-sell or even upsell opportunities." Regardless of their resource allocations, leading retailers are struggling to create profitable, systematic experiences as seen in earnings and media reports. Most merchants lack an ecosystem allowing them to take orders from anywhere, safely process payments and tailor their entire experience to how shoppers want to relate to their favorite brands.

VITAL BGS empowers brands to remove obstacles inhibiting sale conversions. Operating with an exceptional, modern platform, businesses are provided with the technology and tools to bridge the gap between profitability and customer acquisition and retention. With more flexible integrations to any mobile device brands are now more in the driver's seat.
