What the clients say
“We have seen a real return of investment with the eGalaxy Web Store. We’ve been able to reduce staff Mondays to Fridays and need fewer sales windows open because so many of our customers order their tickets online ahead of time.”
Janette Centracchio, Block Island Ferry
“With the eGalaxy Reseller Web Store we now save over US$100,000 a year in labour costs alone for operating our reseller program – and that doesn’t take into account the savings in reduced ticket stock, printer heads and shipping!"
Michael McSparran, Gateway, San Diego Zoo
