With role-based access control, restrict access based on the roles of an individual with the organization. Grant access to specific features and modules that the individual requires for the fulfillment of their duties. Protect the privacy of critical data without compromising on business functions and exercise greater control.

With Access Control Level, when a user requests for permission in an ACL-based security model, the operating system studies the ACL for a relevant entry and sees whether the requested operation is permissible.

For bulk orders, often the quoted unit price does not apply and suppliers offer a discounted rate to satiate buyers and attract new customers. This module digitalizes the entire conversation history, saves time, and is an efficient method of doing business. Bulk ordering and negotiation between Suppliers and Dealers were never this easy!

During the negotiation process, the seller can do the following:

• Add or remove products
• Change the quantity and submit the Quote
• Apply a discount to the total price
• Add or change the shipping method
• Add comments
• Send the updated quote to the buyer to prepare a Purchase Order (PO), or save as a draft

While the quote is open for review by the Supplier, its status in the buyer’s account is set to Pending. The buyer can change and resubmit the quote even if it was declined or is expired.

Retailers/Suppliers can view the entire Quote History with every price change reflected in the system. This also serves as a reference point for future transactions.

B2B retailers generally order in bulk quantities, unlike B2C businesses. Therefore, to cater to this need there is a separate module called “Quick Quote Quick Order” from which retailers can simply type in the name of the product in the search box, manage the quantity, and place in the order quickly. Through this module, retailers don’t have to go to each category to add products to their cart and can save a lot of time. Retailers can send these items for price negotiation to the supplier easily. This module is a blessing for those who are looking at streamlining work and reduce the time taken to painstakingly order items from each category.

Additionally, this module also equips retailers to swiftly re-order items thereby saving them the pain of repeating the process. In the dashboard, retailers can view their entire purchase history, view the items, and simply re-order the past purchase.

On clicking “Re-order”, you are directed to the Checkout page to seamlessly complete the transaction.

When placing large quantity orders, a customer may need to have items shipped to multiple locations as is required for many B2B dealers. Therefore, it is essential for the eCommerce application to determine the best location to send goods from when providing shipping rate quotes. Providing real-time, accurate, and competitive shipping rates is extremely important to gain new customers, satisfy existing customers, and optimize shipping costs and timing.

Customers will take the decision to order from company A or company B depending on who has the inventory and when it can be delivered.

It is important to make an inventory on the eCommerce system up to date.

It is important to note that product catalog, price, inventory, inventory levels, account information, and order/fulfillment details may need to be pushed and pulled from third-party systems such as ERP, CRM, Account, Warehouse Management, or other software applications to reflect correctly on the eCommerce store. In fact, both vendor systems and customer systems often need to be integrated. It’s critical that the eCommerce system be able to easily integrate with these types of platforms and do real-time data handoffs when appropriate.
