Vortex Features
Customer Convenience
- Full text search of your products by product name, number,
or description
- Ability to order up to 25 items at a time from one list
of products
- Previous orders are loaded for order entry with one click.
This allows customers who frequently order the same list
of stock items to pull it up, go down the list and enter
the quantities for the current order, and send it off to
you ... all in a matter of a very few minutes.
- Built in print capability serves up a well organized, well
presented order confirmation
- By uploading inventory information from your inventory
control software, your customers can quickly see product
availability, at any level of detail you wish to provide.
- Detailed product descriptions and pictures can be easily
placed in the Vortex database
- Quantity discounts and custom pricing levels are ready
to use if you desire, and are automatically calculated and
displayed. Quantity discounts are customizable per product
- Partially entered orders are automatically saved in the
Vortex database for the customer's next visit
- Customer login makes completing an order easy ... Vortex
already knows the customer's identity, so they don't have
to waste time entering payment, billing, and shipping information
with each order
- Before submitting their order, a customer can easily change
quantities on all items in the order, from one screen, and
recalculate the order total
- Plus, each Vortex E-Commerce site delivered contains custom
features unique to the needs of customers in that industry
Security
- Password protected customer logins mean that only your
actual customers get to see your pricing and product availability,
if that is your desire. This security is three tiered ...
a valid customer number, user name, and password are all required
for a successful login.
- Tiered levels of user access allow a customer to define
which of his employees may place orders, and which may only
view your products for reference
- Password protected web pages allow you to view customer
order history, and other order related reports, directly
on the web without fear of any interloper getting access
to the information
- Secure Certificates give your customers confidence that
the information they provide through your web site goes only
to your office
- Uploads and downloads of your product and order information
are also protected by secure certificate and database encryption
Technology
- Your online database can be provided either through Microsoft
Access, or through SQL Server, depending on your data storage
and transaction requirements
- Vortex E-Commerce sites are hosted on top of the line Windows
2000 Servers, optimized and very fast
- Our bandwidth provider is one of the largest in the region.
We have fully scalable bandwidth available in virtually unlimited
throughput
- Vortex includes software that runs on computers in your
office, making it fast and easy to transfer data to and from
your accounting system, and to and from your web site databases.
The Vortex 'client' software also has built in facilities
for you to assign pictures to your products, and decide on
file compression factors and image display size
- The client software also allows you to assign pricing by
quantities, styles, and product features ... in ways that
are not provided for even in some dedicated accounting and
inventory control systems
- The existence of the Vortex's client software component
makes it much faster for you to update product information
than E-Commerce systems that only supply a web interface
for product entry and maintenance
Business
- Opt in mailing list collection
- Immediate email notification of new orders, batch downloading
of orders, or both
- Easily configured display of sales, specials, and close
outs
- Vortex has built in reports that give you a quick but complete
view of your web site originated business. These reports
allow you to select views such as reports by customer, and
within requested date ranges
- LeisureSoft can add any customized report that you may
need in addition to the starting suite of reports
- If your inventory control/accounting system provides for
data import and export, LeisureSoft can inexpensively provide
an interface to transfer data between your system and Vortex.
This makes is very convenient to keep your product information
published to your E-Commerce system, so that your customers
always have current product and availability information
- Broadway Technologies can host your E-Commerce system on
our "OrderHQ" web
site, thus providing a domain of, as an example, "JonesSales.OrderHQ.com".
This is integrated seamlessly with any existing web site,
and has the particular advantage of making it easy for your
customer to determine that they are in your E-Commerce area
as opposed to your general content web site area.
- Many Business to Business E-Commerce sites do not provide
for customer payment at the time of order, as often these
transactions are on a customer's account. However, Vortex
can provide real time credit card verification if needed,
or provide credit card payment information to your batch
credit card processing system.
Customization
Although Vortex contains a variety of features to make E-Commerce
convenient, easy, and successful for you and your customers,
each business and industry has its own unique demands. We therefore
never presume that a Vortex powered E-Commerce Site will provide
for your every need 'right out of the box'. Vortex is designed
to be customized and extended. We work with each Vortex client
to learn the needs of their business, and to make sure that
Vortex meets all of those needs. Once we determine a schedule
and a budget for implementing your E-Commerce site, we will
deliver your site on time and on budget. That may sound like
a trite commitment, but you won't have to ask around very long
to discover that few developers in our industry are actually
able to deliver on schedule and on budget.
