04.05.2005 - Affiliates program for eCommerce solution of VIA NET.WORKS, Amsterdam

PGK Software & Communication GmbH has developed an affiliates program for the eCommerce solution of VIA NET.WORKS Inc., Amsterdam. The application enables VIA to automatically credit external private persons and companies who are promoting VIA’s hosting products online through their own websites.

The complete process is fully automatic: registration, email-notification, setting up an individual affiliate account, sales overview, reporting and provisioning. A specific link wizard supports affiliates to implement  banners or text links who support the implemented tracking. Once the user has clicked through the process he is able to copy the stated html-code into his website, an the banner is ready to use.

VIA NET.WORKS is enthusiastic about this integrated solution for affiliates made by PGK GmbH. “This is really a wonderful application and definitely more than I expected! From my personal test I had a smooth experience.(…) Again, I'm really, truly impressed!”, says Marcel Kardol , Director of Product Management at VIA NET.WORKS.

Steve Potts, Project Manager for Global Hosting Services adds: “I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with the new affiliates component, a great job well done. I am really looking forward to presenting it to the sales team.”
