Many of their retail websites don’t have enough product or content to promote the extensive Harlequin offering. Neither do they have the time or internal resources to update this product or content online.  Therefore the widget will be used to roll up to the minute content tailored for each individual etailer that will be updated globally via a content management system that Galactus will also be developing.

Further developments include integration with retailer e-commerce platforms.
