Business to business solutions
Trade sales made easy
If you’re selling direct to trade customers, Aspidistra’s new B2B 50/200 solution is the ideal way to do it online. Making your products available to buy on the Internet provides an additional sales channel that’s familiar, quick and easy for your customers to use. Each sale costs your business less too, and gives your sales team and account managers extra time to focus on developing existing business or signing new customers.
With B2B 50/200, you get all you need to cost-effectively set up and run an ecommerce website that’s designed specifically for trade sales. Because B2B 50/200 fully integrates with your existing Sage 50/200 system, it automatically imports your product catalogue, and your customers’ account details, pricing information, discount structures and credit limits directly to your online store.
Customers can order either by stock code or from your catalogue. They see their own prices and the discounts you’ve set for them and are able to pay by credit card or on account. For account sales, you can monitor their spend in real-time against their credit limit.
All orders are automatically sent to your Sage Sales Order Processing queue where stock is allocated and instantly updated in real-time back to your website. You save time and reduce the chance of errors because there’s no need to re-key orders. And your customers will always know what’s in stock, and what’s not.
With a choice of design templates that can accommodate logos and match corporate colours, B2B 50/200 is easy to install and simple to administer.
