The Web 2.0 features in this release give direct retailers the competitive advantage of creating a consumer experience that builds shopper interaction and confidence, both of which increase loyalty and profitability. Sigma Micro partnered with Indianapolis-based Last Piece Software for the Review and Blog functionality.

"We chose Last Piece Software because the company has created a unique tool for online retail marketing," said Sigma Micro President Matt Konkle, "and because they share our vision for the marketplace and the importance of customer loyalty tools to the entire retail segment."

In addition to creating a Web 2.0-enriched shopping experience, SigmaCommerce 4.2 users now have more ways to maximize content and customer management. Here are highlights of what users will be able to do:

-- Create a unique online shopping experience each time a shopper visits through automated dynamic cross-sells, up-sells and special offers

-- Tie unique documents, such as product manuals, technical specs and selection guides, to individual products

-- Create deep link URLs (including source codes) for emails and online ads that send shoppers to any page in an ecommerce site

-- Maintain consistent electronic and print communication with customers across multiple brands and multiple ecommerce sites from a single system

-- Set up security rules specific to their business that improve fraud management
