Ecommerce
At Ontech Solutions we are experts at what we do and like to work with other experts to deliver services.
For this reason we don’t typically offer an e-commerce solution as we believe e-commerce is a specific form of retail that can be extremely rewarding if done properly.
As we don’t do enough web development or employ SEO specialists we prefer to work with web developers.
Our skill in this relationship is in making data available from Vision Commerce.
To this end we have three options for clients:
The Web Standard CSV service gives the ability to send an extract of the product file, ready to be presented to browsers searching for your goods.
The extract can be scheduled to run daily, twice daily or hourly - on whatever basis you require.
It exports static data relating to a single pricelist of your goods.
Web Standard CSV Pros
- Ease of Use: It is extremely easy to setup and for web developers to utilize
- Schedulable: Daily, Hourly; whatever suits your trading style
- Most web developers will be able to work with it
Web Standard CSV Cons
- The data is simplistic in that only one price list is exported
- Only category data associated with products is transferred so product lookups may not be fully inclusive
- The data is static so take no account of transactions made offline
The Web Live Look service give much greater detail and as it's name alludes is a live feed.
You have access to all product/price list information and full product code analysis.
We also send customer specific details on pricing, history and reserves.
With Web Live Look you can properly support returning customers or private clients; giving them access to their purchase history, current balance (in the case of account customers) and visibility of paid reserves to private clients.
Web Live Look Pros
- Greater level of data
- Customer interactivity
Web Live Look Cons
- Not all web developers will be able to get the most from the data available
Web Live Orders allows your website to send orders back into Vision Commerce.
It can be used with Web Standard CSV, Web Live Look or on its own.
If customer details are known then orders can be placed against customers for reporting or sending back to the web via Live Look.
Web Live Orders Pros
- Save time as orders are sent directly to Vision Commerce
- Reduces errors as orders are sent directly to the system
Web Live Orders Cons
- As with Web Live look greater knowledge is needed on behalf of your web developer to send data back into the system
