So what features does Enyo Commerce actually support? The first version already includes
all essentials B2B e-commerce features.
ERP functionality
ERP specific features such as
- Product master data
- Price calculation and currency handling
- Taxes/VAT/duty
- Invent information (in stock quantities, dates, and variants)
- Product unit handling (sales packaging and conversion)
- All Customer Account / Employee / Vendor master data
- are all consumed and reproduced by Enyo Commerce ensuring sales in the e-commerce functions
the same way as your ERP system does it. Only functionality not provided by your ERP system
is added in Enyo Commerce. For some specific features you can choose to override the standard
ERP functionality, such as product localization etc., either because you would prefer the
admin module/web handling of these data, or because your ERP maybe not support this functionality.
Product Catalog and Detail
For displaying your products in a general manner, we have a standard hierarchical catalog
structure in which you can organize your products for both display and handle security/accessibility
features. This includes as well the standard displaying of products in a grid / list and detail,
with any available property can be displayed or used, and from which the products can be ordered.
Products from your ERP system can be “decorated” with custom properties, images and localized
descriptions. This feature can be handled and edited using the Admin application, along with
all other features not handled by the ERP system.
Product Relations
Products can be related to each other, to promote “alternatives”, new arrivals, accessories
etc. This improves the customer service level, making it easier for the customer to make a
complete purchase with minimal errors.
If the customer e.g. orders a coffee machine, the list could consist of coffee filters, coffee
and similar that will make the customers purchase complete.
Custom Product Lists
For providing your customers with easy access to current and specific product selections,
you can create and edit a number of custom lists in the administrative module. For this purpose
you can also add custom texts and images for the products related to a certain list. Custom
Lists can also be automatically generated based on the value of certain properties from the
ERP system.
Dimension Catalog
Additionally we offer a dimension based hierarchical catalog alternative that best can described
as hierarchical levels of properties of which the products can be divided. You can imagine
it to be a tree consisting of all products divided e.g. first by Main Category, then divided
by Producers, and maybe last a Price range etc. The Hierarchical catalog can be configured
completely by dynamically, and this functionality can even be used to differentiate search
results, or other product segments.
Order Templates
This a simple way for the end user to configure and assemble lists of products they order
recurrently or just often. The self-composed product lists can be composed in a number of
ways, and apart from ordering , also downloaded, printed and be used for other purposes.
Ordering Process
Products can be ordered in many ways in Enyo Commerce. The standard is browsing or searching
through the catalog and adding products to your order, but alternatives such as simply doing
a selective reorder of past orders or invoices, or using the order templates are all ways
to fit whatever the end user finds more suitable for their need.
The user can have multiple open orders, or “shopping baskets” that can be composed simultaneously,
merged or completed separately.
Since completing an order always has different requirements for every business, all the most
used features are available for this part of the application. This includes various
- Delivery
- Options,
- Insurance,
- Freight,
- Markup and Duty additions.
Self service Features
You can give the logged in user access to all relevant order history. This includes the following
documents
- Order Requests (Orders from Enyo Commerce)
- Confirmed orders (Sales Orders from the ERP)
- Delivery notes and Tracking references
- Invoices
- Account Statement, for the registered settlements.
It is possible to search, filter, print and download all documents. Furthermore each document
can be used as an order template for easy repeating a recurring order.
The user can register for e-mail notifications on all levels, for when an order has been
confirmed, when products are shipped, invoiced etc.
SOA Enabling
All central features of the Enyo Commerce are exposed as WebServices (in WCF Service format).
This allows for your partner and customers to integrate their own e-commerce and/or ERP system
to your Enyo Commerce application with great ease and no extra cost for you. All you have
to do is to grant access to the users or roles that you would allow using these services.
You may choose to entirely disable this feature.
