eCommerce Open Source Software

Open Source eCommerce software is the core of our business! Why? Because no other approach offers as great a potential for flexibility and security in eCommerce operations as Open Source eCommerce software. It's that simple. StrikeHawk eCommerce provides development leadership. We design and produce the Open Source Eos Online Merchant - an osCommerce fork based on the CRE Loaded shopping cart. This venue allows us to exercise our own development philosophy of using merciless re-factoring to achieve the highest standards of quality and performance. This is not your grandmother's osCommerce!

StrikeHawk eCommerce provides development management and site customization management services. Using state of the art subversion storage for code storage and a powerful issue tracker to monitor site development we allow store owners to achieve complete situational awareness when it comes to their site customizations.

No software is installed on a live site until we know it works - and if an issue does slip through, we can offer rapid reversion to a stable installation. Centering development activities on the store and aligning our interests with the store owner while not competing with service vendors allows us to to focus on being what software developers should do - building the best possible platform for eCommerce site development.  For a personal conversation with one of our highly skilled project managers, point your browser to our contact page.

CRE Loaded

What is CRE Loaded?

CRE Loaded is the oldest existing osCommerce branch project. It began in 2002 with Ian Wilson's "Loaded" project. Adding the most popular community contributed modifications and feature expansions to osCommerce, "The Loaded" made life easier and business more profitable for thousands of online stores. Today, it still does. Three distributions offer solutions tailored for beginning and advanced retailers, as well as business to business (B2B) operations such as wholesaling and jobbing.

Why us for your CRE Loaded Needs?

StrikeHawk eCommerce's staff have been involved with CRE Loaded longer than anyone in the business today with the sole exception of the Chief Innovation Officer at Chain Reaction eCommerce - the company which manages development of CRE Loaded today. No one outside Chain Reaction is better positioned to support CRE Loaded operations than StrikeHawk eCommerce.

eCommerce Web Site Operations Management

Co-Managed e-Commerce Site Operations

StrikeHawk eCommerce Inc. co-management services bring you a collaborative operations partner focused on the technical side of your operations. We specialize in eCommerce strategy, eCommerce education and project management and act directly on your behalf in managing web store activities including both shopping cart and web server activities.

When a job exceeds the capabilities of our own technicians and developers we will work with you to develop a viable action plan, and manage project outsourcing for you. Allowing you to focus on order fulfillment, inventory management and other key non-web business elements is what we do.

e-Commerce Experience

Entering the online shopping market requires a set of skills which are new to many traditional brick and mortar businesses. You know your clients, products, supply line and business cycles cold. But the needs of a web based store are either new and uncharted territory or just too demanding of your time.

StrikeHawk eCommerce, Inc. has over 15 years of web site operations experience focused in the e-commerce sector. Whether it is planning software development to tailor a web store to suit your specialized needs , developing a linking and marketing strategy or managing information technology such as email and database servers we can provide the general web commerce expertise needed to propel your business into active online sales operations

Information Technology Organization

No budget for a full sized in house IT department? No worries. We provide an organized system to manage your web related information technology issues. Web based interfaces provide consistent and centralized task tracking capabilities not subject to the potential delays associated with email based systems.

Once your store support system is setup, we begin working issues right away. Have a hosting problem you don't understand? Let us know and we will work with your host to resolve it expeditiously - and explain the issues to you in terms you will understand.

Where non-hosting issues can be handled by our technical staff, we will address them and invoice you for services at our low hourly rates - billed by the minute at no minimum charge. When they can't, we will consult with you to create and execute a plan to address your need subject to similar management fees.

Web Store Security Assistance

StrikeHawk eCommerce, Inc. has been securing e-commerce web sites for years. While our competition focuses on Payment Card Industry (PCI) Standards compliance we go further. Just as locking the safe doesn't provide complete security for your building - neither does meeting the PCI requirements alone provide full protection to your website.

In addition to stealing credit card information, website crackers may attempt to hijack your traffic, substitute their content for your own or use non-payment related data to support phishing and other fraudulent means of stealing money from your clients.

While other service providers offer limited, PCI focused approaches to security, our site centered approach offers solid advice and services designed to help you create and maintain strong customer relationships that go above and beyond PCI.

Services such as the use of concurrent versioning technology to track changes in your web application files - making it easier to identify unauthorized changes and restore functionality. Tracking of patch applications and CVE Reports to help assure your site is protected against any discovered vulnerabilities. Separately hosted development sites to reduce exposure to any temporary exposures which might occur while programming is in progress - and reserve your web stores bandwidth for customer use.
