KonaKart Enterprise Java eCommerce System Powers New Site
Konakart is used as the eCommerce engine for selling hard goods including books, CD's, DVD's, and soft goods such as downloads

Sounds True (http://www.soundstrue.com/) is a media publishing company that specializes in providing and disseminating wisdom teachings of well known authors from a variety of spiritual traditions. Konakart is used as the eCommerce engine for selling hard goods including books, CD's, DVD's, and soft goods such as audio and video downloads all in an integrated shopping cart. Differing product formats (soft goods, hard goods) are aggregated into a single search results set and product page allowing for one of the internet's first unified, online shopping experience.

KonaKart (http://www.konakart.com/) is an enterprise Java eCommerce system from DS Data Systems UK Ltd. It includes an extensive set of shopping cart features to satisfy the needs of both online shoppers and store owners alike. Its innovative use of state of the art technologies allows customers to quickly create a powerful and robust shopping solution with the lowest TCO in its class.

"Sounds True's IT team, headed up by Lee Burton, has made excellent use of the power and flexibility of KonaKart to produce a highly-sophisticated and user-friendly shopping website which advances the online shopping experience to new levels with some innovative ideas... I particularly like the aggregation of different product formats in the search results and the opportunity of sampling the audio products prior to purchase."

John Hornsby
Director, DS Data Systems UK Ltd

 

"Konakart was the only viable java based, open source, enterprise scalable, eCommerce solution in the market that had the robust functionality we were looking for along with the ability to customize its feature set. In addition, their ongoing releases with new features and full set of web services mean that we can easily integrate it in the future with our other web offerings. We're very happy with our decision to use them as the engine to power all of our online transactions."
