When we created our company 20 years ago, we had a vision of an interconnected business world. This was a world in which software would be as good and as efficient as the people who use it. The internet considerably helped us move towards this goal. Since 1992, as an e-business pioneer, we have always been determined to develop software that enables companies like Telcos, Hosting Providers and SMEs to generate business via the Internet. Today, more than 50,000 customers successfully use our webshops and business websites - from compact rental shops to integrated B2B applications. This makes us the leading distributor of e-commerce standard software. Our customers often belong to the most successful companies of their sector. And we're continually working on new ideas to keep it that way.
Wilfried Beeck
CEO, ePages GmbH
We created ePages software with a modular design because we want you to be able to adapt our products to new requirements, needs and market trends as quickly and easily as possible. "Plug & Play" is our motto which stands for simplicity, user-friendliness, internationality and rapid success in e-commerce. To ensure your success, we also supply numerous additional services alongside our modules for webshops and business websites. Our goal: Maximum sales for implementation partners, hosting providers and medium-sized businesses on the Internet.
ePages supplies hosting providers with an e-commerce platform whose basis can be used to offer small and medium-sized businesses fully developed business websites and webshops in different performance classes for a monthly rental fee. Internet access and a standard browser are all business owners need to create and administrate their shops and business websites.
Medium-sized businesses are able to realise online projects using ePages software that are individually matched to their needs and budget. In the process, they can utilise a wide repertoire of proven and tested standard components.
ePages is one of the pioneers of e-commerce. For many years, our healthy mixture of innovative concepts and proven functions has allowed companies to harness the enormous potential of the Internet. In a market that's always changing, we've always been a reliable partner. But with over 80 employees in Europe and the USA, we aren't resting on our laurels, we continue to work on the future of e-commerce.
