At Holbi our business philosophy is quite simple: our success is based on the success of our customers.
By offering their products and services online our customers and their clients benefit from a virtual showroom, open 24/7, instant payment processing, easy order status tracking and many other features and opportunities.
Running a web store is as demanding as a traditional retail outlet; as all our own business operations are available online, we understand this all too well. It should be made easy for buyers to find products and to purchase them. Administrators must be able to manage the whole product catalogue, process orders, run marketing campaigns, produce meaningful reports, and most importantly, keep their finger on the pulse of their online business.
We evaluated different Ecommerce solutions before we made a decision to base solutions on osCommerce. osCommerce was principally developed by the Open Source Community, with many authors and contributors from many different countries.
An extensive list of built-in features, easy extensibility, high modularity, and ultimate flexibility - these are the main benefits of osCommerce. We took the latest release of this solution and optimized it especially for our customers. We created further, more capable osCommerce modules, simplified and refined existing features, and got what we call the TrueLoaded version of osCommerce.
Our solutions are suitable for all types of online businesses at all scales, from family-operated online stores to multi-million shopping malls and nationwide corporations. We provide our customers with turnkey solutions. The process of creating a new osCommerce web site is fully project managed by Holbi, all the way to when the new online store launches; the plan consists of the following main steps:

"I have found Holbi to be patient and flexible throughout the development of my website. During the site development another project took me away from the website. When I was able to continue with the site development, Holbi picked up where we left off seamlessly. Holbi have proved to be very knowledgeable with all aspects of website development and protocol."
"Until we met Holbi we were running our web site off the standard free version of OS-Commerce. Although the standard platform works fine it has some bugs and limited features. Holbi moved our web site across to their Trueloaded version in March 2007 and our business has increased 5 fold since then."
"The proof is in the pudding! Since we started working intensively with Holbi, 18 months ago, our traffic has increased by almost 800% and online sales by 37%."
"Every day we are glad we asked Holbi to make a new version of our webshop. We had our shop bikesNparts.nl since 2005 and used a few software partners for it but every time it wasn't the succes we needed."
"Amazon has always been a time consuming aspect of Cuddly Kingdom, but Holbi’s Amazon solution suggested it could increase sales and decrease the time it took to sell on Amazon. The Amazon Integration was exactly what we were looking for. Amazon integration has saved us hours of labour and boosted sales by around 30%.
The Holbi development team were available to answer our questions and really helped with the initial start up and getting used to the system. It has surpassed our expectations in all areas."
