Roots Experiences Incredible Online Sales Growth with PFSweb's End2End eCommerce Solution
PFSweb, Inc. (Nasdaq: PFSW), an international provider of end-to-end (End2End) eCommerce solutions, announced today that its client, Roots Canada Ltd., has reported significant success online as a result of migrating to PFSweb's End2End eCommerce solution. Canadian consumers especially are embracing the new functionality, driving exponential growth in sales volume. PFSweb initially moved Roots to its End2End eCommerce solution that features Demandware technology in August 2008.
"The decision to take advantage of PFSweb's full service solution was made after careful consideration and a thorough assessment of the market," said James Connell, Senior Director, eCommerce, Digital Marketing and New Media for Roots. "We couldn't be happier and more comfortable with our decision and the results. We feel that we have chosen a winning solution with PFSweb that provides the best possible customer experience. I'm now able to leverage more robust eCommerce tools to advance my marketing and merchandising strategies and innovate at a faster pace. All of this will allow Roots to continue to evolve its online business while remaining a leader in the marketplace."
"As one of the first brands to use our End2End eCommerce solution, Roots migrated to the Demandware platform in order to expand its capabilities and empower its online channel, poising itself for accelerated growth," said Mike Willoughby, President of PFSweb's services division. "From the beginning, we sought to deliver maximum capability and flexibility to Roots across all functions of their online initiative. Roots's measurable success using our End2End solution proves our advanced technology, tightly coupled with world-class operations, results in both revenue growth as well as the delivery of the best experience for our clients' customers. We continue to craft similar solutions for other leading online brands."

Bringing all functions of eCommerce together in a tightly integrated offering, PFSweb extends a brand's ability to focus on core competencies, drive better customer experience and leverage agility in marketing and merchandising efforts.
