Nexway takes over operations of download portal Softwareload

Nexway has taken on exclusive rights to handle all website operations of Deutsche Telekom“s download shop Softwareload (http://www.softwareload.de). The European leader of digital content solutions has acquired a license for all European activities.

The brand and domain rights will remain with Deutsche Telekom. As of Mai, responsibility for all partner management and customer care activities will be managed by Nexway, and Telekom will continue their Marketing activities for the German portal. The European shops in Great Britain, Switzerland as well as the European portal will be transferred in the third quarter of 2012.
To better service the extensive needs of this project, Nexway has activated its e-commerce „Digital Premium Channel“ platform dedicated to software download sales. This platform includes the most recent front-office features, resulting in an improved product display and an optimisation of sales. Moreover, Nexway implemented a real-time access to the e-commerce website via its new SaaS interface „Digital Cocoon“, which allows external partners to manage marketing animation, pricing management, reporting, sales and traffic statistics.
Nexway will also provide e-marketing support and handle all customer care services. To do so, Nexway has integrated the full Softwareload database to its e-CRM tools in order to further optimise and develop the e-commerce strategy.
With regards to content, Nexway supplies a wide and diverse catalogue of software products, specifically designed to address German and European customers. It includes the following product ranges: Security (i.e. Kaspersky, Symantec, etc.), Office (Microsoft suites), Utilities (i.e. TuneUp, etc.), Leisure & Multimedia (i.e. Magix, Nero, etc.), Management & Accounting (i.e. Lexware, Sage, etc.), or Translation Software & Dictionaries. Nexway content input is highly suitable for Softwareload“s traffic and sales requirements.
„In 2009 Nexway enabled Softwareload“s portals in Great Britain and Switzerland. Proven e-Commerce know-how, as well as an extensive product catalogue makes Nexway our first choice as operator of our shops in Europe.“ Daniel Eder, Head of Softwareload.
„I am very happy and excited to support such a European market-leader in the new markets that are digital distribution and consumption of software products. This partnership seals the encounter of two digital e-Commerce pioneers, who have both succeeded in their respective fields. It also confirms Nexway“s current positioning, competitiveness, and European leadership. The extensive resources and unique positioning that Softwareload is currently enjoying in Germany, will also open the door to interesting perspectives that other accomplishments will soon illustrate.“ Gilles Ridel, CEO of Nexway.
