Closing the catalogue cycle
It is now several years since the dot-com boom and, indeed, even the subsequent bust is starting to fade in the memory. While there may now be some jostling for position by smaller online retailers, it would appear that the larger companies have things all sewn up—Amazon and Play.com for example, or Dabs.com and Misco for computer components. Given that the range of products is largely the same, such companies can find it increasingly hard to differentiate and stand out from the competition.
The arrival of online computer parts retailer IT247 may have slipped under the radar of most.
Perhaps more interesting is the fact that IT247 offers something like three times the number of products (currently around 50,000) offered by Dabs and the others, at a consistently competitive price. Most interesting of all is that the company manages to source, competitively compare prices and offer these products for sale with an order of magnitude less people that its competitors.

A couple of years ago I was introduced to Steve Willock, MD of website IT247, a successful IT retail website that had won a few awards and was achieving phenomenal growth. From the outside IT247 looked nothing special, however beneath the surface there was a very interesting piece of software.
IT247 was essentially a showcase for an eCommerce software suite named IntoScape that Willock and colleague Andrew Senior had developed, and it was a piece of software that really impressed me. Here was a bit of software that could not only do eCommerce – the easy part – it could also replace a team of buyers by juggling tens of thousands of SKUs in just a matter of minutes.
