    ✓ An online store for consumers to shop & pay

    ✓ An ERP solution to manage daily store operations

    ✓ Integrated services like email, onsite SEO,
        live customer chat, analytics and others.

¤  A robust web server to host the web-application.

    web application and the servers. Apart from running the application on a
    24x7 basis, the tech team needs to look one step ahead and keep the
    web app feature rich.
