Last week, GoECart submitted its application for the 15th annual Connecticut Quality Improvement Award competition.

From the CQIA’s website: “The Connecticut Quality Improvement Award, Inc., America’s first state-levCQIA Awardel quality award, was founded in 1987 utilizing the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for Performance Excellence criteria in an effort to advance innovative programs that improve quality, performance, and marketplace competitiveness.”

    Last year and in previous years, GoECart has won CQIA’s coveted Innovation Prize. The CQIA prize is a great prize for outstanding innovation leadership in Connecticut. For those of you who are unaware, GoECart’s headquarters are strategically located in downtown Bridgeport, CT right across the train and bus stations. This year, we have submitted a nomination application highlighting the innovative new features in GoECart 8.1 Ecommerce Platform. Notable new features include:

Some examples of discounts include: buy one product and get a second product at half off, get free shoes with purchase of a dress, receive 10% off all products in Toys category only, get free ground shipping on orders over $50, and many others

      • Enhanced supply chain automation functionality via multi-vendor drop ship module enhancements. Updates include the ability to source and manage products from multiple vendors at the SKU level, intelligent routing of orders based on customer proximity, and improved vendor self-service and automation
