Merchant Tools


Deliver class-leading ordering tools aimed at supporting merchants to close more business whilst providing customers with all of the options they need.

  • Quotation System

    Online quote request and convert to order operating either independently or in conjunction with an ecommerce basket. Merchants can drive quotes from call centre, set specific pricing and then push to customers via my account and email that they can convert to an order.

  • Back Orders

    Access full details of any back orders by searching through them based on customer, company, order or product. Enable various actions to be executed based on any changes to the status of that back order, including sending an email to the customer when the status changes or there's an increment/decrement of the items they are waiting for.

  • Vendor Managed Inventory

    Enables customers to maintain an agreed inventory of products at any and each of their locations and deliver simple replenishment when the stock holding falls below the agreed threshold. When the merchant undertakes a stock check any shortfall is then ordered online against that location and account, at an agreed timescale.

  • Price List Manager

    Merchants can set the % value (₊/-) against parent price lists for products, product groups and customers. The engine auto calculates the child pricing and assigns. Can also apply delivery costs, discounts, offer bands, gift options and advert basket price conditions across price lists or on a currency level.

  • MOQs

    It's not always viable for businesses to sell some items in low volume. Set a minimum order quantity for any product as well as adding rules and workflows around alerting customers to this, and managing stock based on these restrictions.

  • Quantity Breaks

    Incentivise your trade customers to spend more by offering quantity based discounts per product. This enables you to lower the unit cost based on the amount they buy (e.g. 1-9 for £12 each, >10 for £10 each).

  • Re-ordering Tools

    Enable quick and easy re-ordering with saved baskets, quick order pad and regularly ordered items lists.

  • Quantity Steps

    Each product can be sold in fixed quantities (e.g. 5, 10, 15) with workflows and rules to alert customers and manage stock.

  • VAT Checker

    Integration with services such as vatlayer.com enable you to validate the authenticity of VAT numbers during checkout.

  • Multiple Payment Options

    Offer customers the choice of buying on credit or debit card, on account, or via invoice.

  • Full Reporting

    Reporting lets you check and control customer's account statuses and produce invoices.

  • Remote Order Capture

    Give your sales team remote access to the call centre tools (via tablet or laptop) so they can build quotes and create orders for customers on site.

  • Call Centre/MOTO

    Allow admin users to setup/view customer accounts and process orders on their behalf. You can also define an account manager for each customer's account meaning only they will be able to access it through the MOTO tools. You can even override prices in the basket whilst on the phone to your customers in order to close the sale!

  • Collection Points

    Expand your reach, improve your service and enhance your fulfilment capabilities using Click and Collect or Click and Reserve via collection points, trade counters or warehouses.

  • Customisable Products

    Allow customers to specify materials to be cut to order, offer non-standard options, or bespoke configurators (and calculate pricing accordingly) online.

  • Multi-address Delivery

    Let customers place a single order for fulfilment to multiple locations, ideal for shipping to multiple sites.

  • Online Stock Checker

    Let customers check live stock levels of any product at any warehouse or collection point, online.

CUSTOMER PROJECT

Sass & Belle logo

"Our customers love the new sites, they find them really easy to use despite the fact they're far more complex than the old sites. My team and I also love the sites as we can do so much with them ourselves, instead of relying on a developer to make changes."
