Delticom drives on the safe side

Hamburg, 21. March 2001 - The Delicom AG, Hannover is Germany's first professional online tyre dealer. To verify if this profitable e-commerce company meets the required trustworthiness, security, reliability and user-friendliness from an objective and neutral point of view, Delticom has applied for the new e-seal "TUEV Certeco".

"Two topics govern the discussion about online shops: Bankruptcy due to lack of experience and the fear of misuse. With TUEV Certeco we want to provide our customers with even higher security", Dr. Andreas Pruefer, Managing Director said, explaining the reasons for the certification.

"How easy is online ordering?

Delticom AG offers a comprehensive guide to buying online. The pages at www.reifendirekt.de include all relevant information from advice to test results to a wide-spread network of installtion partners in Germany and Austria. A further advantage of ordering online is that the tyres are delivered to an address of your own choice. The customer has the right to return the products within a 30 day period. If this is the case, the tyres are picked up by Delticom. In addition the customer saves between ten and 25 percent off the usual shop price.

Security issues often decide the future of an e-commerce supplier. Delticom works closely with an external IT service provider. Fast computers and a firewall system - This is the heart of Delticom. High bandwidth transfer rates of over 200 Mbit/s allow fast access to the internet and avoid long waiting time.

The TUEV Certeco's comprehensive catalogue of criteria has convinced us, and we are sure, that our e-commerce solution will pass the test. TUEV Nord is known for its quality and good reputation. This image is important for our customers", Managing Director Rainer Binder stated to explain the choice.
