eCommerce with Sage Accounting
Online shopping is increasingly popular for both shoppers and shopkeepers:
- It offers a 24 x 7 shopping opportunity without leaving your home or office.
- It allows products and services to be presented with a level of detail and expert assistance that may be difficult to deliver through standard channels.
- And, generally, the setup and maintenance costs of a Web store are modest.
One of the biggest drawbacks of operating an eCommerce Web store is having to maintain your product catalogue and stock control
on both your Web store and your accounting system. So, as the business volume grows, it becomes very important to connect the Web
store with the back-end business accounting system.
Many small and medium sized businesses resort to manually transcribing orders from the Web store to their accounts system. This
is both slow and error prone and becomes impractical as order volumes grow. Some businesses do nightly exports and imports of orders
using, for example, spreadsheets or an online connection from the Web server that hosts the Web store to the accounting PC. But
this “batch process” is unresponsive and lacks immediacy.
Discover IT offers a Web store solution that is connected directly, in real-time with a remotely located Sage 50 accounting
system.
Discover IT can address your needs in one of two ways:
- Design and build the Web store for you based on the award winning bvCommerce 5 online store system; install the Sage
integration services on your Sage 50 accounting system; and configure the Web store, test integration with your Sage 50 accounting
system and make live.
OR
- If you employ your own Web applications developer, we can supply a Software Development Kit (SDK)
only to be installed on a PC or server hosting your Sage Line 50 accounting system. You would then organise the construction
of your Web store and use the SDK to integrate it with your Sage 50 accounting system.
