How to get your store online

Not online? Then you are missing out

 E-retail is the fastest growing sales sector

Even during the retail down turn online sales have continued to grow at up to 25+%. While other retailers were suffering from the down turn those who were online enjoyed strong growth.

The biggest reason retailer are not online is the cost and the time involved in managing an online store in addition to their retail store

The issue here is that to get online retailers need to manage their stock levels in their store based Point of Sale system (POS) and then try to manage the same stock on the Internet/Web in their online store.  As sales take place either online or in the store stock levels are not automaticaly updated causing all sorts of problems. This combined with duplicate order management and double keying cause many retailers to either never try getting online or to give up.

 More details...
The system manages products, inventory, quotes, jobs and sales orders, invoices, customers, suppliers, debtors, marketing campaign management and more. The system can run in stand alone, network or over multiple locations. Some of the core modules are explained in brief below.

 Sales command centre
The sale command centre provides important overall information on the status of each sales order including online sales.  It shows the following information, customer details, created and delivery date, payment status, attached notes, invoice status, and  whether the order is waiting on stock or is ready to be dispatched.

Purchase order command centre
Similar to the sales command centre is the purchase order command centre. This module enables you to manage and access all aspects of the purchase order process.

Quotes
Quotes can be created from existing products, labour items or custom entries.  The ability of the system to import entries from pre saved quote templates saves time and potential errors.  Items, sales price and average costs price, ex gross profit and ex gross profit percentage are all shown to the user.

Quotes can then be converted to jobs / sales orders with the press of a button.

Customer Loyalty
Fully integrated into the point of sale system, set the loyalty points earned for each product, manage these points under customer management, uses the points as part of the sale payment method and much more.

Product Management and information
Product items are set up in an easy to use form, which enables the general product information and categories, plus three suppliers, serial number option, pictures for the web, related items, ecommerce shopping cart, price matrix and more.

Related products can be easily added which are then used as proactive sales marketing in the ecommerce shopping cart.

In the franchise version the franchisor can create and edit a product listing that is downloaded and imported by franchisees.

General product information is viewed in a data grid which can be navigated via categories, or sub categories.  The product code, description, stock on hand, ordered, average cost price and sale price is shown.  In multi store or franchise versions, a drop down box can be selected to view other location's product information.

Customer, Suppliers, Freight Cards
All of the above cards have a similar card template and overall data grid management. Customer cards also support attributes which can be used to profile customers for marketing purposes. These attributes can be used in the marketing campaign management module. 

Marketing Campaign manager
Increase your sales by delivering targeted emails, faxes and letters to your customers. In just seconds you can query your customer database and deliver a marketing offer. Query fields include products sold specific or via category, via customer attributes, post code, by sales person, sale amount range, overdue accounts, purchased in a date range or new customers in a date range.
