to your e-business site have less functionality available to
them, compared to registered account holders.

They can browse
your catalogue, establish that you are a potential supplier,
access technical data and raise a priced enquiry/quotation,
based on the general published price. |
| |
|
Visitors may
also register to set up an account. |

Registered account holders
may browse your product catalogue and locate products using
a variety of means: They can drill-down from your catalogue
index through sections to sub-sections, to a list of descriptions
of the required range of products. Upon selecting a product,
more detailed descriptions are available as well as stock availability,
their buy prices (including any quantity breaks if applicable),
pictures and an option to view technical data if available. |
| |
|
|
Other search options consist
of; Key word search and Product Code search. However the fastest
way to locate products and order them is to select them from
either recent orders placed, or from the record card (which
can be parameterised, but typically will show recent and/or
frequent product purchases). |
| |
|
|
Regardless of how your customer
finds the products he wants to buy, the registered customer
can see whether or not you can satisfy his order. He can build
up a multi-line order based upon his buying prices with you,
is able to select ship-to addresses from file and can place
a confirmed order with you. Finally an order acknowledgement
is sent back to your customer via e-mail. |
| |
|
|
Having placed orders with
you, registered customers may enquire about their accounts.
They can see outstanding invoices and drill down to the line
level of these invoices. They can also review recently placed
orders from their record card, and you may choose to display
some purchase statistics in graphical form as a sales tool. |
