$15,500,000 milestone reached! Turbulent's C3MS technology behind Star Citizen's game crowdfunding success

MONTREAL, Aug. 13, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Turbulent is proud to have its web platform technology supporting the ongoing community funding campaign of Cloud Imperium Games' Star Citizen space sim game. Turbulent has been actively involved in this campaign's success since November 2012, and has recently produced a new version of the website on its C3MS technology. In 30 days, sales on the website have soared setting new records in crowdfunding, surpassing its success with Kickstarter earlier. The C3MS platform enabled the site to scale, and has provided the company to boost customer traffic - resulting in more purchases, better community engagement and customer service. Pledges have risen over 300% in the past month. http://robertsspaceindustres.com/

Turbulent's HEAP C3MS technology is the first platform that brings together Content, Community and Commerce in a single integrated solution. HEAP provides advanced functionalities for publishers and community managers to drive participation and sharing, gamify and recommend purchases, and an overall improved customer experience. With the Cloud Imperium team, Turbulent has proven HEAP's potential.

HEAP C3MS is a platform designed to extend easily and integrate with third party services and technologies, making it more affordable to monetize content and deliver tailored e-commerce experiences to fans and customers. Some of the available API extensions are : Paypal, Moneris, Amazon, Stripe, Shipwire, Webgistix, Zendesk, Cakemail, Mailchimp, Tender Support, and many other CRM, ERP, and business software.

"Turbulent and their C3MS technology have allowed us to provide a much better service for our customers who can now better manage their accounts and choose from more offerings. And it helps them better interact with our community, which in turn gives them more ownership of the Star Citizen universe they are helping us make,"  said Chris Roberts, founder of Cloud Imperium Games.

"We want to thank Cloud Imperium Games for giving us their trust since last year. To have the opportunity to deploy a new technology based on a new approach of monetization and crowd-funding required our clients to be groundbreakers, ready to take risks. We could not have wished for a better partner for our technology." said Marc Beaudet, CEO of Turbulent.
