Surfing the Mobile Commerce Wave, Even When The Sharks Are Out

A recent CBS mobile commerce news report portrays the rising m-commerce wave as one with obviously enough push to lift mobile commerce into the main-stream, but also one fraught with sinister sharks of malfunction. One hypothetical the article posed was: what if a major retail ecommerce store wanted to test a new mobile payment application for their mobile store only to find that when mobile shoppers came en-masse, the bandwidth couldn’t handle the traffic?

FastPivot’s mobile store developers have faced this problem as well, but with some quick strategic maneuvering, the mobile bandwidth beast was vanquished. How was it done? By simply working with a leader in distributed cloud environment. Using this mobile store solution, we’ve found that mobile pages load very fast due to small file size and the distributed cloud environment. To ensure that our distributed cloud stays stable under high usage situation, we decided to utilize a load testing agency. Although it took some trial and error to fish out the ominous fins, our mobile clients endured for the better.

Naturally any paradigm shift will create challenges that seem daunting, but remember innovative disruption eventually evens into a standard process everyone can trust.

In this rapidly changing world of m-commerce, it’s crucial for mobile store pioneers to maintain an attitude of continuous improvement, with an ultimate accountability to mobile shoppers. This path of intelligent and evolving invention, dictates a responsibility not only to mobile store developers and mobile store merchants, but also to mobile shoppers as well. Users will, no doubt, determine the future of mobile store shopping–their part in this is to trust mobile store technology; not a blind trust, but a patient, thoughtful kind that offers constructive feedback and a commitment to give that sharky wave another surf.
