Many businesses feel that face to face contact and building a close business relationship with customers are essential elements to their success. This is still very true, but there is a growing need to cater for electronic or online ordering. "E-COMMERCE" - the ability to choose products from a catalogue on your computer, look at a picture of it if desired, enter the quantity required, see your cost, add a purchase order number and press "send".
Protect your business from your competitors. If you already have an "E-Commerce" system in place, you eliminate an area where the opposition sales team can offer something new and innovative to attract your customers away.
Conversely, you can approach competitors' customers and offer "E-Commerce" as just one of your company's ordering methods without sacrificing the "personal touch". You can also tap into a new market where you can advertise online purchasing and get sales from a larger region - depending on your product, it could expand your sales area to State-wide, National or even International. And remember that every sale acquired online is directly saving you money because you get the sale without it costing the time of any of your staff.
Many systems are very expensive and have to be maintained by a "computer consultant".
Our base system sells for AU$3,300 (incl GST). It includes:
All the necessary web pages required for a full online ordering system plus Account Login and/or Cash Sales entry, catalogue listing with images, pricing (schedule and discount depending on whether Cash Sale or Account customer), ordering quantities, an ordering review to display what has been selected and the total price, entry of purchase order, contact name, alternate delivery address details, credit card details if applicable and additional notes.
A maintenance program so you have total control of updating your system. You can add Account Customers and logons, update your catalogues, add new products and images or delete obsolete products, change prices or
discount by customer. Of course,
can also help you maintain you E-Commerce site.
Our system is flexible. It can be used "straight out of the box" or it can be easily tailored to your industry or your "company image". If your accounts system is capable, we can interface the ordering system to it.
A computer with an internet connection is the basic requirement. If you have a web site already, just add our pages to it. If you don't we can organise domain names and web hosting without you having to clamber through all the technical jargon and confusion the computer industry loves to generate.
