XBS Web Shop


    

No matter what business you're in, no matter how big your company is, becoming "e" is essential to acquiring new customers, staying competitive and quite soon, staying in business. But how do you take your company from brick and mortar to the Web? It's not as difficult as you might think. XBS Web Shop, the e-business tool from XBS, integrates your back office processing with Web ordering - the first step in getting your business online.


Web Order = Sales Order

XBS Web Shop eliminates the time-consuming task of re-entering the same information in different places. Once an order is received from your Web catalog, you no longer have to waste valuable time and resources entering the order again into your accounting system for processing. With XBS Web Shop, Web orders are automatically entered as sales orders in XBS Financials, XBS's proven business management solution for medium-sized businesses.

Instant Web Site Updating from Behind-the-Scenes

Total integration also means virtually zero-based Web site maintenance because your site is database-driven from within XBS Financials. XBS Web Shop compile-free scripting environment in which you can combine HTML, scripts and server components to create dynamic HTML pages, which allows you to actually maintain the information on your Web site directly from XBS Financials. For example, if you decide to place an item on sale, you simply change the price in XBS Financials, including the new price and the duration of the sale, and the sale price is dynamically placed in your Web catalog, complete with an "On-Sale" banner. It's that easy!
You'll also save the time and resources necessary to print and ship catalogs by offering your product catalogs to your customers electronically.


Make Your Site Fit The Customer, Not the Customer Fit the Site

XBS Web Shop's open interface lets you easily write code or simply use plug-ins to make an attractive, interactive site which you can customize to handle transactions according to your business needs. Whether you're marketing to consumers or to businesses, you can provide the customer with advanced merchandising features, including:

  • A shopping cart for easy purchase
  • Automatic calculation of shipping fees and taxes
  • Automatic e-mail notification (new password, order processing, shipping notice, and so on)
  • List of previous purchases for easy reordering
  • A choice of languages in which to browse, a choice of currency, and so on.


Two Words: Custom Security

You can specify for each customer whether Web orders must be approved before they're converted into sales orders. If you specify a certain customer's orders must be approved, you will receive an automatic email notification whenever the customer makes an order. Then, upon your approval, the customer will receive an automatic email order confirmation. Alternatively, you can bypass the approval process and allow direct Web ordering for established customers. Whether you require order approval or not, customers can always get an overview of their e-business transactions.


So get out of your brick-and-mortar world and get online. With XBS Web Shop, it's not difficult -- it's survival.
