Actinic Enterprise is Actinic’s first dedicated ecommerce/mail order product. It is built on the functionality of Actinic Multi-user, with the standard Access database replaced by a faster and more powerful SQL Server database for increased capacity and scalability all round; together with significant changes to the way offline orders are handled.

Actinic Enterprise is designed to take successful, established ecommerce and multi-channel businesses beyond what has, until now, been possible with Actinic software. A new division of Actinic, Actinic Business Services, has been set up to work much more closely with businesses like yours who are looking to grow, and help to identify the areas of the business that can be developed to achieve that growth. Through the provision of augmented services such as project management, Search Engine Optimisation and elements of bespoke software development, as well services such as web design, site structuring and hosting, and even integration with Actinic EPOS systems, Actinic Business Services can provide you with what you need to take your business to the next level.

Prices for Actinic Enterprise projects are available on application. To find out more, please call one of our consultants to discuss your requirements on 0845 226 5040, visit the Actinic Business Services website, or
