Sierra Bravo Expands Features of MultiValue-Integrated Online Store

BLOOMINGTON, MN, September 14, 2007 — Sierra Bravo Corp – Bloomington, MN – Sierra Bravo announces that it has expanded the standard feature set of its integrated online store offering to include real-time integrated package tracking and shipping rate calculations with the major carriers. The integration is done using real-time XML web services that combine information from the existing business system with information provided by the user online to obtain immediate and accurate rate calculations.

“Online shoppers are getting accustomed to having the shipping charges presented to them at the time of purchase. We developed software to connect to the major carriers directly to provide instant and accurate information online,” explained Luke Bucklin, President of Sierra Bravo Corporation. “Our clients are always concerned about finding the best way to handle this, so we invested in a solution that works for everyone,” said Bill Brakeman, Sierra Bravo’s Director of Business Development.

Case Study

Sierra Bravo Partner Program: Online Comparison Tool Project

Sierra Bravo’s first project with one of our ad agency partners was a bit of a leap of faith for them — on a key project with a big client. We were brought in to build the back-end functionality needed for a leading consumer electronics retailer with a highly-trafficked website. When we got the call to make it work online, our partner agency and their client had the creative concept and design ready to roll. Read the whole case study.
