#NetcommForum2018, discover the secrets of e-commerce with VMEngine
Among the experts of the digital world there will also be us at VMEngine with an interesting workshop entitled “The Amazon Web Services Cloud: The engine that empowers e-commerce”.
But the news is that at our side there will be the giant of the Cloud: Amazon Web Service. Fabio Cecaro, CEO & Founder of VMEngine, together with Oreste DiMaggio, Partner Solution Architect at Amazon Web Services, will explain why Cloud Computing is a winning business model and the engine of innovation for a successful e-shop.
As a demonstration of how the pay-as-you-go business model fits perfectly with the seasonality of online sales, there are various success stories that we will briefly mention here but that we will show you in detail on the Netcomm stage. We are talking about two companies that have made e-commerce the key to their success: FiloBlu and CaldaieMurali.it.
FiloBlu
founded in 2009 by Christian Nucibella, FiloBlu is a fast-growing company specialising in the implementation of digital strategies for the development and internationalisation of online business and the enhancement of brand equity.
Thanks to its specialist and technologically advanced skills, FiloBlu is able to offer strategic advice and comprehensive support to accompany companies on a digital transformation journey to conquer new market shares.
The company’s strong specialisation and integrated approach have rewarded it with constant growth: turnover increased by +800% from 2013 to 2016, so much so that in 2017 FiloBlu was awarded for the third consecutive year among the Italian companies with the highest growth rate at the top of Deloitte’s “Technology Fast 500TM EMEA” rankings and for the second time it obtained the “FT1000 Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies” award from the Financial Times. In May 2018, FiloBlu was also selected, again by Deloitte, as one of the “Best Managed Companies in Italy”, an award at its first Italian edition.
Hand in hand with the increase in turnover and the constant expansion of the services offered, over the years FiloBlu’s staff has also grown, now employing over 120 resources specialized in the various areas of digital and retail expertise in the Venice headquarters, in the offices in Milan, Naples, Lugano and at the companies in Prague, New York, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Then there’s
CaldaieMurali.it
, king of thermohydraulics 2.0 and pioneer of e-commerce. This is a very special story because it sums up the success of a young entrepreneur who puts his flair into a traditional company and firmly believes in the potential of online sales. From the info points in the shopping centers of Lazio and Campania, we moved on to the web starting first from the eBay portal and then landing on a site on which to sell a wide assortment of thermoplumbing. Well, with 100,000 orders processed and a turnover of 95% generated by e-commerce activity, CaldaieMurali.it confirms itself as the undisputed leader in the sector. As a result, it has grown from a small, family-run business into one of the largest online sellers of plumbing and heating products on a national scale.
These are not cold success stories light years away from reality but are stories of people who believed in the potential of the web and understood, perhaps before others, that the key to online success is Cloud Computing. Reliability, Scalability, Security (GDPR), Geography Distribution, Business Analytics, Machine Learning are just some of the features and functionalities that Amazon Web Services provides for the development and perfect functioning of an e-commerce.
This is just a small taste of what we will have to say on stage at #NetcommForum 2018. Participating in events like this is important because even just one sentence can open up a new and unexplored world in which to dive and do “business”.
