Sage Integrated Web Store Overview
|
|
One of the biggest drawbacks of operating a Web store is when you have to maintain your product catalogue and stock control on both your Web store and your accounting system. In addition, re-keying the online orders from your Web store into your accounting system can be very time-consuming and prone to errors. Spreadsheet exports and imports frequently require operator attention and even an online connection for exporting and importing data lacks immediacy.
Discover IT has now launched a versatile Web store application that integrates directly, in real-time with a back-end Sage 50 accounting system. The Web store addresses both Business-to-Consumer and Business-to-Business applications.
This software allows you to administer and maintain your product catalogue and stock control exclusively on your Sage 50 accounts system. The Web store accesses the latest and up-to-date product prices and saleable stock availability directly from Sage, and the orders from your Web store are automatically entered into your Sage 50 system. This all happens in real-time, 24 x 7.
Key Features of our eCommerce/Sage Integration:
- Supports eCommerce store catalogues from a few products to tens of thousands of products.
- Web store administration panel to organise departments, to organise the display of product variants and to administer store promotions.
- Real-time customer registration submission to Sage 50.
- Real-time user login authentication and price list/price group retrieval from Sage 50.
- Real-time product price and stock level retrieval from Sage 50.
- Real-time sales order processing, with validation and submission to Sage 50.
- Scheduled product and customer data updates from Sage 50.
- Automatic storage of customer registrations and orders if the Sage 50 connection link fails, and immediate transmission as soon as the link is restored.
As the front-end Web store and the back-end Sage 50 accounts system are very likely to be in different geographic locations, the Sage 50 integration is implemented using a set of Web Services.
The Sage 50 integration Web Services are also packaged as a Software Development Kit (SDK) available to third party developers. The services can be installed on third party equipment and the SDK comes complete with comprehensive documentation and sample code. The code uses the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 and experience with using this framework is strongly recommended for third party developers to use this SDK effectively.
