About us

Kiss Technologies builds and manages eCommerce operations for SME customers with turnovers ranging from £500,000 to £25,000,000. We have been in operation since 1997, and have built hundreds of successful web sites and systems for many happy customers.

We are a technology company and we develop software and build websites to help people sell online. We partner with many other organisations to provide the best possible services throughout the spectrum of requirements, including design. By doing this, we keep our own internal skill sets pure and focused on what we are doing, providing you with the service you need and allowing other specialists to provide the other aspects that are required to complete a project.

Many web agencies - a category which we do not include ourselves in - have great creative departments, but only tack on technology people as an afterthought. This works fine for smaller developments not requiring any serious technology input, but fails to really shine when things get more complicated - either in scale or in complexity of the application.

Our solutions are based around our core software platform, xCommerce, which provides common services required for an ecommerce website, as well as online payments, email and SMS systems, order management and reporting. We can then build on this to create highly innovative systems tailored your business and the best practices associated with it.

Kiss has an impressive client list that ranges from fast growing SMEs to large blue-chip companies.

One of our longest standing clients, Trade Appliances, won the overall DTI national eCommerce Awards 2004, for "the innovative way in which it has applied technology to advance its electronic trading and supply chain efficiency, and transformed the efficiency, effectiveness and overall performance of its business." This innovative technology is xCommerce.

Mike O'Brien, Minister of State for Energy and Ecommerce said of this, "Britain can be proud of today's winners. They are showcasing best practice e-business. By sharing this best practice, they are encouraging other organisations to really exploit the benefits that technology offers, increasing their efficiency, productivity and profitability, and, ultimately contributing towards a stronger economy."

Kiss Technologies can help you to share in the best practices that encompass xCommerce and make your business stronger and more profitable.

Our retention rate for our customers is extremely high - simply because we deliver what people want and need, cost effectively and quickly. Because we specialize in the SME market, we know how to manage projects most effectively in this market place and combine the best practices of larger organizations with the speed and flexibility of a small team. We build customer relationships, building our business with yours, and because of that we are focused on your success, not the "hit and run" attitude of many development companies.

Kiss Hosting provides Totally managed hosting to customers across the UK and abroad, with our servers handling more than £100 million worth of transactions a year, and supporting businesses ranging from financial services through to cosmetics.
