    - Responsive Web Design for mobile optimization
    - Personalization data collection and targeting
    - Enhanced dynamic search and guided navigation
    - Social sharing of purchases
    - Site mapping and SEO capabilities to increase overall site volume
    - Call center integrated with the DMI OrderSync OMS for ordering on behalf of the customer, add-ons, returns, cancellations, backorders and appeasements
    - Capability to fulfill orders from both the warehouse and from stores using a customer service user interface for store associates.
    - Enhanced search features utilization and management of multiple promotional events to drive conversions
