New e-commerce platform will enable the Italian retailer of mother and baby
products and services to create an integrated cross-channel experience for its
customers
LONDON--(Business Wire)--
ATG (Art Technology Group, Inc., NASDAQ: ARTG), the premier provider of
e-commerce solutions, today announced that Prénatal SpA in Italy will be
deploying their new e-commerce Web site using the ATG Commerce Suite, purchased
by Artsana Group, owner of Prénatal. 

The ATG solution will enable Prénatal to offer a personalised experience and
better engage new customers, by integrating new channels, creating customer
segments, understanding the unique needs of each segment, presenting the right
products to the right customer, and ensuring a consistent shopping and buying
experience that integrates every interaction channel. Prénatal will use the
complete ATG Commerce Suite, including capabilities for personalised
merchandising, commerce search, marketing campaign management, multivariate
testing, and contact centre-based customer service. 

While this implementation starts with Prénatal, the company has a longer term
vision to expand its ATG implementation across the entire Artsana Group. 

Chris Wilson, Group International e-Commerce Director at Prénatal, explains, "We
want to expand our traditional offline proposition to our customers and provide
a seamless, matching online experience. We chose ATG for their experience and
feel that their platform is the best fit to meet our requirements both now and
in the future. With ATG, we can provide our customers enhanced flexibility and a
true cross-channel user experience." 

Frank Lord, Vice President of EMEA at ATG adds, "We are delighted to be working
with Prénatal on this strategic project that clearly reflects their
customer-centric orientation, and enables their long-term growth. Consumers are
increasingly using a variety of channels to connect with retailers. It is
paramount for companies to have a single view of the customer, whilst providing
a unique brand experience and a better, faster service."
