On 7th October 2008 at the Internet Retailing 2008 Conference to be held at the Novotel, Hammersmith, London, Encodex & West10 will showcase the ultimate source of Home Entertainment & Household product data to Internet Retailers.

Brian Flower, Encodex Business Manager says: “This strategic alliance utilises the natural synergy between the two companies to the benefit of our clients allowing them to grow and develop the commercial success of their business, by delivering a consistently superior customer experience,”

He explains, “The customer demand for information is increasing and it is now more important than ever to have high quality, accurate up to date content on your website. The prospect for a better informed customer through an efficient internet catalogue can now be realised through the partnership between Encodex and West10.”

“Both organisations recognised that retailers required entertainment and electrical product data and that there was a clear need for accurate, consistent and comprehensive information says Barry Smith, Director of Sales at West10. He continues, “Having co-operated in a couple of initiatives, it was recognised that the natural conclusion was to form a strategic alliance to allow clients to have the benefit of working with “best of breed” and to help them to provide a richer customer experience.
