Kick Music, Norway's biggest chain of stores in the music industry, has chosen ViaNett as its Web advisor. The chain constists of Imerslund Musikk and St. Olav Musikksenter in Oslo, and Sagevik Musikk in Stavanger and Sandnes, Hagestrøm Musikk in Bergen, Tre '45 Musikk in Trondheim and Ljosland Musikk on Notodden and in Drammen.
Kick Music is now undertaking an encompassing co-ordination and improvement of routines for common purchasing, administration and sales. An important element in this work is to prepare availability and information for the customers via the internet.
With the use of ViaNett E-commerce, the customer is able to order over the internet and get the wares through their local Kick Music supplier. Simultaneously, the billing and payment is increased in effectiveness with a direct transfer to the store.
By making use of ViaNett Publishing for presenting news and product information, the stores simultaneously get access to an easy and professional publishing too. Together with the online store, Kick Music's website will soon have the biggest sales on musical instruments and other music related accessories in Norway.
Kick Music's delivery involves ViaNett E-business integrating with Navision from Microsoft Business Solutions.
"Our solution for sales, sales support and distribution, will be able to connect to each and every large ERP-system", says Lars E. Helland, CEO at ViaNett. ViaNett E-business has already integrated with Visma's ecomnomic systems.
In addition to e-business and publishing, ViaNett will manage all e-mails, virus wash of e-mails and eventually spam-filtering for Kick Music.
Every customer and partner that falls within music, will be profiled on ViaNett's music-portal, SmsMP3. SmsMP3 is, at the same time, a webpage for artists, record companies, manufacturers and management bureaus that wish to employ the many possibilities in a positive way.
