To overcome the challenges of today’s
modern business, we have developed AspDotNetStorefront IS, the first
affordable application to combine the most commonly used eBusiness
functions into one integrated application. With AspDotNetStorefront IS,
the Internet is integrated into the DNA of your business, opening new
opportunities for growth and efficiency.
Benefits of AspDotNetStorefront IS include…
• Designed for Today’s Connected World – Interprise
Suite is a desktop application that uses the latest “web services”
technology to securely connect to data over the internet. With no HTML,
JavaScript or images to download, AspDotNetStorefront IS is the first program
to offer LAN comparable performance over the internet.
• Business to Consumer (B2C) and Business to Business (B2B)
eCommerce Ready – Going online has never been easier with a
single point of data controlling both your website and back office
operations. Pricing and other business rules work identically in both
the eCommerce website and back office application.
• Real Time Data – With our new technology you can run
your entire company from your local server or web server. With your
website and backend operations running from the same server your entire
business can run in real time without compromise.
• Connected Business Platform (CBP) –
AspDotNetStorefront IS was developed on the Connected Business Platform.
This allows it to be easily customized and extended via third party CBP
plug-in applications. Never again be locked into an inflexible
application that can not be modified to meet the needs of your changing
business.
"With only one application to learn, use and maintain, users will have
more time to focus on the needs of their business and not the needs of
their system."

 |
AspDotNetStorefront IS goes beyond
eCommerce by giving you true eBusiness capabilities that can power both
the company’s web store and back office operations in one fully
integrated application.
Whereas eCommerce is only designed to run your web store, eBusiness is
designed to run your entire organization. By using one point of access
for data and business rules, AspDotNetStorefront IS eliminates the need
to import and export data between applications because information
entered into the system is accessible throughout your entire
organization.
As an eBusiness, there is no separation between your web store and the
rest of your company. You are now able to provide your customers the
same service whether through your web store or over the telephone.

back office, they are processed identically all the way through to your
accounting ledger. This ensures accurate financial data, up to date
reporting and a proper audit trail.
• One central point for all transaction eases financial reporting
• Stock Quantity is updated in real time with prompt for insufficient
stock
• Payment terms and shipping methods can be assigned on a “per customer”
basis

|
Fully customizable
Both the webs store design and backend business logic is completely

functionality are customizable through template engines (XML packages).
XML packages are used to make the web site look and act the way you
want. Website appearance is given personality by applying user definable
“skins”.

Dreamweaver®
• Select from a long list of default XML packages, create custom XML
packages or order from the AspDotNetStorefront website

of its part. There are readily available custom fields for light
customizations, the data dictionary and plugins for more complex
changes.
• AspDotNetStorefront IS source code is available for developers to custom fit
the application for their clients.

Yesterday’s Approach – Different Business Logic
Splitting the Company
Every eCommerce system needs a back end accounting application to process
transactions and enter the results into the financial records of the company.
Because these applications were never designed to work together, they have
completely different methodologies that make some transactions possible in one
system but not possible in the other. Accordingly, prices, coupons and options
found on the web may not be available in the back end system for phone based
orders and inquiries.
The is the "old" approach which leads to islands of data fragmented throughout
your organization, the site administrator has to manually oversee the exporting
and importing of data between the web store and back office operations with the
utmost caution. Without real time data, customer service via your website or
customer service representatives is rendered useless because accurate
information is not always available. This causes customers to have a negative
impression of your company, reducing sales and hurting profitability.
Our Approach – A Single Set of Business Logic Unifies
the Company
With AspDotNetStorefront IS there is only one system to setup and maintain. All
data, whether entered from the website or back office system is instantly
available throughout the entire application completely eliminating the need to
move data from system to system. The benefits to this approach are real and
substantial. All customer and inventory options setup in the back office work
exactly the same whether a transaction is entered on the web or on the back end
unifying your entire organization.
The right approach: With only one system running both the back
office and the web, everything works together effortlessly. As customers place
their orders online, the orders are instantly available within the back end
system for processing or customer service inquiries; when inventory information
is updated on the back end, it is instantly updated on the web for accurate
stock availability. The result is complete customer satisfaction which turns
into more sales and repeat business.
Single Database – lowered maintenance and increased
efficiency
Simply put, AspDotNetStorefront IS has only one database so there’s no need to
upload/download and import/export data to and from servers. The screen shot on
the left is the database accessed from the web page while the screen shot to the
right is the database accessed from the back end.

|
|
Enter a world where there is
only one computer application to run your entire business;
where there is no more pulling and pushing of data, where
information is entered in one area (say inventory) and
available somewhere else (say, your web store); where you can
access your data from your local area network (LAN) or across
the web. Imagine this with one, easy to use and affordable
application. Welcome to the world of AspDotNetStorefront IS:
eBusiness. Simplified.

DESIGNED
FOR BOTH THE LOCAL AREA NETWORK AND THE INTERNET |
|
Generally speaking, business
applications today come in two types: desktop
applications that are designed to run over a local
area network (LAN) and "on demand" browser based
applications designed to run over the internet. Since
the vast majority of organizations have a mixture of
both LAN and Internet based users neither of these
approaches meet the needs of today's connected
business.
While other software vendors have
been out developing "clunky" web based solutions that
requires internet browsers that bring the application
to the internet, Interprise Solutions brings the
internet to the application. Developed with "Smart
Client" technology that allows applications to use
both local and web based resources, AspDotNetStorefront IS
combines the best aspects of a desktop application
(speed, rich user interface, easy printing, local
caching of data) with the best aspects of a web
browser application (internet enabled, easy to deploy
and update). With AspDotNetStorefront IS LAN users can
connect locally and remote users can connect over the
internet using the same exact user interface. Unlike a
browser based application which has to download HTML,
JavaScript, Cascade Style Sheets, Image and more in
order to run, AspDotNetStorefront IS is entirely self
contained, connecting straight to the company data.
The result is the first application that can offer
"LAN comparable" performance over the internet.
-
A windows application that can
connect to data over the internet
-
Faster than web browser based
applications since there are no graphics, html or
JavaScript files to download
-
Streaming compression reduces the
size of your data before it is sent over the internet
further increasing data access performance over the
web
-
Best of both worlds: local users
connect via local network while remote users connect
via web services
-
Deploy locally, remotely or any
combination you want. Your data - your choice!
-
Designed with data security in
mind. Optionally encrypt data for added security
-
Connect remote offices and users
over the internet in real time, enter sales orders
directly from your showroom floor or customer
location, work from any internet enabled location
anywhere in the world.

SIMPLE,
EASY TO USE INTERFACE |
|
AspDotNetStorefront IS was
designed with the user in mind. The interface was
designed with a "Microsoft Office" style interface so
that users will immediately feel comfortable and each
form is optimized to allow you to perform your tasks as
quickly as possible.
-
"Microsoft Office"
style interface
-
"Tabbed" screens brings
all needed information into each process
-
Quick access to
frequently used processes - i.e. convert sales order
to invoice.

INTUITIVE, GRAPHICAL DASHBOARDS |
|
 Albert
Einstein once proclaimed that "information is not
knowledge". This is certainly truer than ever in
today's information society. To help you make better
sense of your company's data, AspDotNetStorefront IS
includes a number of dashboards and business
intelligence tools that graphically summarize
statistical data that allow you to quickly and easily
"drill down" as far as you need to. With Interprise
Suite, your company is better informed allowing
decisions to be made faster and more accurately than
ever before.
-
Dashboard selections can be customized per user role
-
Business Intelligence dashboards can be zoomed to
provide a bigger picture
-
New dashboards can be created via the free Connected
Business SDK
-
Some dashboards have the functionality of entire
applications such as the eMail manager, Interprise FAX
and document management

ROBUST
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS |
|
 Interprise
Suite allows for a high level of customization
directly within the application. For example, new
fields can be added to the database and screens while
search fields can be moved and redefined as needed.
Also, accessibility to features and data can be
controlled for specific user roles. This allows the
application to be customized to the exact needs of the
user. To reduce the need to reprogram customizations
each time a new update or upgrade is installed,
AspDotNetStorefront IS was designed with an "extendable
architecture" that can separate customization code
from the applications main code.

POWERFUL, HIGH-PERFORMANCE SQL DATABASE TECHNOLOGY |
|
Unlike most affordable applications that are built on
a weak foundation, AspDotNetStorefront IS is built on the powerful
Microsoft SQL technology. This high performance database
is able to process terabytes worth of data and is relied
upon by some of the biggest companies in the world. To
ensure the highest performance in AspDotNetStorefront IS, all
data functions are written with SQL store procedures
the native language of SQL. From your home office to Wall
Street, AspDotNetStorefront IS has the power you need.
