Xsilva Systems Inc., maker of a suite of retail tools tailored for the Mac, is now shipping LightSpeed Web Store 2.0, providing retailers with a host of powerful new features to better manage their online presence and increase revenues through a simple and intuitive interface.

Web Store 2.0 provides retailers with a dynamic store front inspired by the clean, crisp style of Apple Inc.s online store. Xsilvas developers have rebuilt Web Store from the ground up, with a SQL database-driven system that focuses on back-end simplicity and front-end elegance. Customers can now create and manage their own secure accounts, for a personalised shopping experience that lets them easily track their purchase history and outstanding work orders, thereby simplifying reorders, building loyalty and encouraging repeat buying.
