About bvCommerce 5

Discover IT uses BV Commerce 5 as the basis to develop Business-to-Consumer and Business-to-Business Web stores. BV Commerce 5 is a powerful eCommerce application that uses the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0. BV Commerce 5 Web stores can be designed and developed to suit most Business-to-Consumer and Business-to-Business functional requirements, supporting catalogues of just a few products and/or services up to major product catalogues featuring tens of thousands of products.

Key Features of our Web store

(Please note: This list is not exhaustive and further functions are available and may be used, especially where the Web store is not integrated with a back-end Sage 50 system. Where the Web store and the back-end Sage 50 system are integrated, the majority of the product catalogue, the customer maintenance and the sales order processing functions would be managed by the Sage 50 system.)
