PURCHASE ORDER REQUEST FORM
Provides you the ability to offer your customers a fast and efficient Bulk Ordering System.
Everyone is familiar with using the traditional Shopping Cart, however everyone is also familiar
with just how slow they are to use and not practical at all if you need to order multiple products. Traditional
Shopping Carts are really only useful for Retail Sales, where a customer may order a few different
products periodically.
However if you have Wholesalers, Retailers or customers purchasing on "Account", that wish to re-order vast quantities of products at regular intervals, they will
not want to use a Traditional Shopping Cart. This is where Our Purchase Order Request Form comes to the rescue. From a SINGLE page
it provides the ability to display all your products, making it extremely easy for your customers to perform bulk orders.
Another major benefit is it can generate quotes aswell. That will save you time as your customers can login select the products and generate their OWN Quote. Or you can login and create quotes and email them direct to the customer. You can see a working copy of the Purchase Order Request Form from our Ordering Section. |

Basically this Bulk Ordering system allows your customers to submit Purchase Orders. It does not generate Invoices.
You are still required to perform that action, but as it is intended for use with customers who have an account then that should not pose any additional problems. |

PRODUCT MANAGER
This forms the basis for most of the features we offer. The Product Manager allows you to manage your web pages and what products appear on the Purchase Order Request Form.
This is similar in some respects to CMS (Content Management Systems), except with our manager, we do not expect you to have to add your own content. In fact we would prefer you didn't.
With us adding your content you can be guaranteed that each product page will be consistent and uniform, fast loading and have all images enhanced and optimized.
Normally adding a hard coded page costs more because the menu system, website search, site map and any product category pages need updating aswell, but with our Product Manager
all of that is taken care of. This means we can add new pages / products to your website for much cheaper. This makes an ideal long term strategy as any products you need to add in the future
will cost you less than using hard coded pages.
As all products web pages are dynamically generated, the Product Manager comes with a Product Search feature, which you can use from the link supplied on the left.
The output can be set to either show thumbnail images, or just a single line per product (like our web site search).
For accessing product pages through the normal menu system, all Product Category Pages are dynamically generated when required.

Latest News

NEWS BULLETIN MANAGER
Every website and every company goes through changes. These could be from changing products, to obtain different brands. This news bulletin feature will allow you to quickly and easily add News Articles to your website
so that you can keep your customers informed.
This is ideal if you have new products that are released, or even if new staff members join your company.
There are two display modes. The first is a small module that is ideal for placing on the home page. An example of this is shown on the left. It shows the first 300 or so characters of each news article which people can click on to visit the full article.
Then there is the full page display. All articles are sorted by date created, with latest date shown first. Comes with an easy to use editor and gives you the ability to add or remove articles from the News page. |

Newsletter Subscription

Newsletter Subscription
Allows your visitors to sign up for your email newsletters. They can subscribe, change their category selections and unsubscribe at any time. A newsletter allows you to keep your customers updated about new products, specials and other events. It is a good way of ensuring your customers and potential customers know about everything you can offer, whether that be products or services.
Two versions of the subscription are available, the basic sign up as you see on the left, or if you click on the advanced settings, a more complex sign up page is displayed where people can select just the categories of newsletters they are interested in.
In the Admin module is where you create your HTML newsletter, select which categories you wish to email it to, and simply click EMAIL NOW. You can use this subscription demonstration to sign up to our newsletter if you wish, so you can see how it works first hand.

Example coupons

Coupons and Vouchers
This is a great addon feature to the Purchasing Order Request System and for the Newsletters. When you send out a email newsletter advertising products on special, you simply include a CODE for each product.
If someone wishes to order that product at the special price, they simply visit the Online Purchase Order Request Form select the product in question then in the Coupon Code box, they type in the CODE from the email newsletter. When they now preview or submit their order it will show them the discount they have received from using the coupon. This is perfect because it means you don't have to manually adjust the prices of the products on the order form, while still allowing people to purchase at the discounted price.
In the Admin Section is where you manage your Coupons. You simply type in the Product code, the Coupon CODE and what discount you wish to provide for that product. Three choices are available;
Fixed Dollar value: This will adjust the price of the product to what you specify. Great if you have multiple price levels configured in the online ordering as this means you can specify the exact product price. Discount Dollar value: Will deduct the specified value from the product price. Discount Percentage: Will deduct the specified percentage from the product price. Finally you can set an expiry date for each coupon. That way you can run the coupon for any duration you like. If you happen to run out of stock before the coupon expires simply edit the coupon and change the expiry date to yesterdays date. You can use the same coupon code for multiple products too. So if you want to have 10 products on special all using the same coupon code, you can. The demonstration on the left shows two products linked to the same Coupon Code.

Website Search
Allows your visitors to search the pages of your web site for key words or phrases. The difference with our search is it does not use any external search
engines (like google). This means it can not only operate faster, but it also operates in realtime. So if you make changes to any of your web pages, the search
engine knows about this instantly. Unlike using Google which may take many days or weeks before it re-indexes your pages.
This version of the search engine allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the search engine. This will indicate if a page should be displayed in the list. ANY (the default) - any of the words you entered can be found, ALL (restrictive search) - every word you entered must be found and PHRASE - (very specific and restrictive search) the words must be found exactly as you typed them, including spaces, commas etc.

SITE MAP
A Site Map provides a top-down view of the overall pages available from the website.
Each page available is displayed as a list and grouped into categories that reflect your menu options. From a Site Map you can go directly to any page available on the website. It also helps facilitate search engines (such as google) to ensure that all pages on a website can be found.
You may find some customers prefer to see a list of all pages that are available from a website, rather than having to search for the page using either
website search or go hunting through the menu options. A sitemap can make it so much more user friendly for websites that have a large number of pages.
Our sitemap is generated dynamically, it is not a static page. That means as new pages are added, the sitemap knows about it instantly. |
