Measurable Results
OrderManager
does more than deliver comprehensive Web-based sales capabilities;
it also delivers results like these for you:
| Revenue |
Realize new revenue streams
from the new markets available to you through Web-based selling
and maximize opportunities with existing business customers
(e.g., automated cross-sale and up-sale messages, personalized
marketing, and 24x7 online customer service). |
| Cost |
Reduce your cost per transaction
by up to 75% by automating order processing and re-deploying
service desk staff to more profitable and productive business
activities. |
| Responsiveness |
Respond immediately to
business customers by leveraging the Suite's 24x7, real-time
capabilities (e.g., searchable product information, self-service
ordering, online customer support, automated cross-sell and
up-sell messaging, rules-based online target marketing, and
more). |
| Accuracy |
Increase order-taking accuracy
to the 99% level by eliminating errors caused by redundant
information handling (this also translates into fewer returns). |
| Shorter Transaction Cycles |
Compress the transaction cycle
by hours, days and even weeks by providing up-to-the minute
information (e.g., inventory availability, product information,
and order and account status); interactive guided selling and
complex product configuration; and personalized marketing (including
customer-specific product offerings and pricing and time-sensitive
promotions). |

Ensure the security of sensitive
information, such as pricing levels or shipping privileges,
through SpaceWorks' use of user authorization, access privileges
and encryption via standard Internet protocols. Business rules
established from your client account profiles control access

to perform various functions, like authorize purchases. All
private data transfer is secured using Https protocol. |

sales channel seamlessly to multiple, disparate back-end systems
(e.g., SAP, Baan, PeopleSoft) through SpaceWorks use of leading
EAI tools. Real-time data, such as pricing, inventory availability
and order status, are transparently available to your business
customers at all times. |
