Accolent ERP Serves all the eCommerce Needs of Distributors
eCommerce Software for Distributors
Accolent ERP eCommerce software for distributors is made up of two components: (1) a Self-Service Portal, and (2) Online Stores. The Self-Service Portal is a solution that allows existing customers to place orders online and get complete access to their accounts to see transaction history, see customer statements, make payments on their accounts and other transactions. Accolent ERP allows for the creation of Online Stores on multiple established eCommerce platforms such as Magento, Shopify, Amazon, e-Bay and others, that are linked to Accolent ERP through API links. Using these API links, distributors can create one or multiple Online Stores and sell products to eCommerce customers that search for, find and buy your products online.
1.
The Self-Service Online Portal
The Self-Service Online Portal is integrated directly into the Accolent ERP database. In Accolent ERP, a distributor can select any product that is already in the Accolent product master for display in the Self-Service Portal. When that is done, the product and its associated product information including images, list price, weight, cubes, package information, web comments and optional in-stock level will pull directly from Accolent ERP. Customers will immediately see the product in the Self-Service Portal and will be able to pull it up from the search, drill-down to product details and put the product on an order. Products displayed on the Self-Service Online Portal can also be designated as “New”, “Special”, or “Featured”, if desired.
2.
Creating Online Stores
Accolent ERP offers a set of APIs that integrate Accolent ERP with multiple established eCommerce platforms including: Magento, Shopify, Amazon, e-Bay, and others. Distributors can set up one or more Online Stores on one or more established eCommerce platforms (e.g., create an Online Store on Magento launched from your website, and also sell on Amazon) and then link these to Accolent ERP. Using the Accolent ERP API links products already in Accolent ERP can be pushed to the Online Stores and then updated regularly to reflect product changes and inventory levels. Customers will be able to browse to the Online Stores and create and pay for orders which will be immediately updated to Accolent ERP through the API links.
