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.
