Webwinkel Vakdagen 2013: new knowledge and acquaintances

The Webwinkel Vakdagen in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht are an annual party for Vicus. The moment to meet old friends and make new friends. But above all the opportunity to gain new knowledge in 2 days, which we then like to share with you.

During the Webwinkel Vakdagen 2013, over 250 e-commerce suppliers presented themselves. It has since become the leading trade fair in the Benelux in the following fields:

• marketing
• online store(development)
• payment solutions
• logistics
• social media & m-commerce

Proper focus and 'the whole egg'

Nothing human is strange to us: besides gaining new knowledge and acquaintances/friends, it was also particularly fun and instructive that some of the customers who left us told us, with hindsight, they would have been better off staying with Vicus. Because in practice our advice turned out to be right: don't focus too much on the design but pay attention to what demonstrably and structurally contributes to the conversion and growth of the company. Including sales, customer service, customer value, loyalty and of course search engine optimization. In short, look at "the whole egg" but choose the right focus. We speak from experience: Vicus has over 20 years of experience in e-business innovation and quickly making (sales) results measurable.

Trouble-free technology

Also gratifying but frankly not really surprising was the feedback from our business partners. With them, it often happens that employees don't know us because there are so few problems with Vicus' technology. And because we often fix a defect ourselves before it becomes a problem.

Logistics and 'matchmaking'

Now that I have been active in the e-commerce industry for almost 10 years, almost everyone begins to know me and my network is quite extensive. My background in logistics comes in handy during consultations with suppliers of order management, Product Information Management and a wide variety of logistics service providers. In these discussions, I am increasingly becoming a kind of "matchmaker" who brings different parties together to achieve an optimal result together.

Pay afterwards

In addition to mobile applications, post-payment was still a "hot topic" during Webwinkel Vakdagen 2013. Vicus now also offers excellent options for post-payment for Zen Cart and Magento with SveaWebPay. In the meantime, 2 customers of Vicus have chosen to have their post-payments made through SveaWebPay.Of course, this is also possible with the solutions of our trusted partners Ogone, Buckaroo and MultiSafepay.

SEOshop and Vicus?

SEOshop and Vicus, perhaps at first glance a somewhat strange or surprising combination. But as far as we and a number of customers are concerned, it is definitely not. SEOshop and Vicus have been discussing intelligent links for some time now. With its extensive experience, Vicus is the party of choice for linking webshops to back-office systems such as accounting, ERP, order management and Warehouse Management Systems.

Customers and success story

Of course Nic. Oud, the logistics service provider with whom we now share 4 customers, was also prominently present at the fair. This was also true for Wouter Hol of Kabeltje.com. In his own way he told his story, a real success story.

Indispensable

In short, once again the Webwinkel Vakdagen were extremely useful and interesting in many areas. We may say by now an indispensable fair. You weren't there this year but still want professional information? Our tip: check out the Webwinkel Vakdagen website for an overview of the program, presentations and videos. Of course, you can also contact Vicus for further information or advice without obligation. For example if you, as a current merchant, in a number of proven steps, want to achieve a successful webshop with highly efficient back office links. We are happy to be of service.
