Ingram Content Group, US, has launched its new comprehensive ipage search and order platform. Created collaboratively with users, the newly designed site includes intuitive navigation, enhanced search and browsing options, and additional customisation options that make finding, organising and discovering new products easy for booksellers and libraries worldwide.
With more products available than ever before, the new features and search option additions give ipage users enhanced tools to track bestsellers, view custom lists, access Ingram buyer recommendations and online catalogues, and manage and track orders. The latest search features include one-click access to all search tools from the home page, and new functionality additions allow discovery of items by any term or product type across the entire ipage database including books, e-books, audiobooks and gift products.
Throughout the redesign process Ingram has relied on a select group of ipage users to help shape the improvements.
With major upgrades and enhancements since its initial launch in 1998, further development of ipage was accelerated as the needs of retailers and libraries continue to change. In 2011, search improvements, faster navigation, enhanced stock status, more product information and images for all users were added. In 2012, customisation tools were introduced that provided customers the ability to prioritize critical information required to search, order and deliver more content to consumers and patrons.
