M.O.M. Helps PulseTV.com Grow Its Business

Pulsetv.com Uses Multichannel Order Manager to Expand into New Business Channels and Achieve Company Growth

How the Business Has Grown!

pulsetv site Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Tinley Park, IL, PulseTV.com started out as a TV direct response business. You probably remember the TV commercials for Riverdance, Lord of the Dance, The Honeymooners, Stomp, The Carpenters and other popular TV promotions.

Many members of the PulseTV.com team have worked together for over 20 years at this company and earlier at a leading catalog company. They all had a passion for building a great business and joined forces to create PulseTV.com. How did the company branch out into other products besides DVDs? The credit goes to its customers! PulseTV.com began getting emails and letters asking if they could get other TV products. The company listened and started first with TV products and branched out to more.

Today, PulseTV.com is a successful and modern multichannel online retailer with a web-based business growing at double digit rates. The company processes more than 1,800 orders per day with an average of 3.8 items per order.

The Need For Order Management

Through the years it has maintained the integrity of the company and stayed true to its customer-friendly goals:

Offer a wide assortment of products at a good value
Create a shopping experience that is simple and easy to use
Provide dependable delivery backed up by its in-house fulfillment center
Assist customers quickly and efficiently with responsive customer service

PulseTV.com needed an automated Order Management System from the start. It researched order management vendors and found that most were too expensive and too complicated. PulseTV.com discovered Dydacomp and became a Multichannel Order Manager (M.O.M.) customer in 1997. At the time, FoxPro was their preferred platform. Today, they run M.O.M on an SQL database.

Business Opportunities and Challenges

office TV ad rates skyrocketed with the Dot-Com boom and PulseTV.com realized that it needed to reinvent the business. Early on, PulseTV.com used an early toolkit version of what is now known as SiteLINK, Dydacomp’s eCommerce shopping cart platform for etailers. Today, PulseTV.com has many websites. As a result, web traffic is vital.

M.O.M. has a multitude of features and with what PulseTV.com is using today, it knows that it is only scratching the surface of the functionality. PulseTV.com had the foresight to video-enable each of their sites via YouTube & M.O.M. and video has become a big driver for the business. The company also employed what it refers to as “Moms using M.O.M.” A diligent and hard-working team of Moms use M.O.M. to manage, pick, pack and ship their orders.
