Tokyo – February 17, 2009 – GMO Internet Group e-commerce service provider, GMO Solution Partner announces the launch of new ASP service, Stock Manager for centralized management of stock in multiple online stores.
Background to Service Launch
There has been rapid growth in e-commerce over recent years. The consumer e-commerce market was worth 5.34 trillion yen (*1) in 2007, 6.22 trillion yen in 2008 and is expected to be grow to 11.71 trillion yen (*2) in 2013. There is a growing trend for operators of online stores to manage two or more stores and as a result there is now strong demand for automatic integrated stock adjustment and centralized ordering functionality across multiple stores.
GMO Solution Partner operates Marugoto EC, an e-commerce solutions service for mail order businesses. In response to demand from customers we are now launching new ASP service, Stock Manager with automatic integrated stock adjustment and centralized ordering functionality across multiple stores.

Stock Manager
Stock Manager is an ASP service for the efficient management of multiple online stores that enables integrated stock adjustment and centralized ordering in an online mall or between multiple stores.
Special Feature 1: Automatic Stock Adjustment across Multiple Stores
When a product is sold, stock levels are automatically adjusted across multiple stores. This prevents discrepancies between stock levels displayed and actual stock, as well the inconvenience of one store selling out of a product while another has plenty of stock. These problems can result in stores being unable to fill orders as well as lost sales opportunities.
This function also saves time managing stock across multiple stores so users can expect reduced operation time and staff costs.
Special Feature 2: Centralized Management of Information for Online Store Operators
In addition to managing stock and ordering, operators can evaluate their overall business with data including analysis of orders received, shipping and sales by store. This feature saves time and makes collecting information more efficient.
