MDS eCommerce

MDS eCommerce is a user-configurable Business-to-Business (B2B) web-based solution that supports all aspects of the order-to-cash process. The customer-centric application strengthens the interaction between the buyer and seller – enabling buyers and merchandisers the ability to manage:

• Pricing
• Order creation
• Costing
• Promotions
• Gross margin expectations

All this is done via a Web portal that is easily accessed by your customers. Customers can also view inventory availability, order status, online invoices, and balances.

Track purchase history and sales at the chain or store level as well as at the vendor and manufacturer level. Sales personnel can assess inventory while at a given customer’s facility and place orders from the road on your clients’ behalf – streamlining and optimizing your sales process.

In providing more methods for customers to place orders, MDS eCommerce helps distributors reduce excessive order entry personnel and decrease call volume to customer service when customers want to track order status.

MDS eCommerce reduces the overall cost of the entire order-to-cash business process, as well as creates an environment where customer retention and enhanced sales are realized.

MDS eCommerce provides a user-friendly, visually appealing interface – ensuring that everything is easy to find and easy to use.

Functionality that streamlines your business

Item Detail
Provide access to all information a buyer needs to choose the right products. Buyers can view images, descriptions, promotions, dimensions, pack size, vendor information, and availability of all your products – giving them the knowledge they need to place their orders.

Retail/Authorizations
Group and customer-level retail management give buyers the ability to specify price at the category or item level. With the capability to override suggested retail prices and maintain authorized item lists, buyers have the flexibility they need to keep their operations running smoothly.

Reporting
Having accurate data in a useable format is crucial in making business decisions. MDS eCommerce allows you to download, save, and print reports on vendor and manufacturer sales history, price changes, inventory velocity, and accounts receivable.

Sales tracking that gives you an edge

Promotions
Announce sales promotions to your sales team and buyers via the web. Customize your announcements to the corporate, distribution center, group, or customer level. You have the ability to upload images and specify effective date and end date.

Product Availability
Let your buyers know available quantities of your products in real-time. Hyperlinks to item details make navigating through the important product information simple.

Pricing
Unit price, retail price, and retail margin percent are available for all products. Price changes are highlighted – keeping buyers informed with the most up-to-date pricing information.

Ordering made easy

Order Acknowledgements
Fulfill orders more quickly with immediate order acknowledgements. Buyers are able to view and verify their orders – ensuring orders are being processed and alerting them of any issues that occur.
