Use an extranet to take control of sales and reduce the cost of doing business…
Extranet
n – a privately maintained computer network that uses the internet to allow partial access to authorised partners, suppliers, vendors, on-road sales staff, customers and other organisations for the purpose of sharing operations and information.
CommunityManager.NET
n – a tool for easily and cost-effectively implementing an extranet to seize opportunities and cost reductions afforded by the use of secure, dynamic communications in the B2B and B2C e-commerce environments.
E-commerce continually makes new demands on business, but at the same time it also affords greater opportunities for collaboration, cost reduction and economies of scale. Extranets allow businesses to communicate and trade in a secure environment and they lessen the need for transactional paperwork, reduce lead and fulfilment times, allow real time updating of sales figures, and facilitate just-in-time inventory management.
Security is paramount
CommunityManager.NET is a leading-edge solution which enables organisations like yours to take full control of their extranet. Folder and document security can be quickly and easily administered and multi-layered permissions granted and revoked in a timely manner. Inventory management is a breeze with CommunityManager.NET which provides functionality for cataloguing, maintaining and searching inventory.
Sales cycle control
Managing an itinerant sales force has always been a challenge but now, with a CommunityManager.NET extranet you will easily be able to monitor the sales cycle by keeping track of proposals, bid submissions and related documents. Payment collection and invoicing will be centralised and more easily managed.
Other extranet uses
Extranets can be used for a variety of purposes in addition to collaboration with partners, inventory management and sales management. A CommunityManager.NET extranet allows manufacturers to share product manuals and in the case of distributed fabrication to share all steps of the design and build process online. It enables the use of online catalogues, project management, online training, the provision of online customer service tools, sales demonstrations and supply chain management.
Creating and managing business content
CommunityManager.NET has the power to systematically capture, create, manage, review, distribute, publish, and store business content from a variety of user interfaces. You have complete visibility with regards to who has made changes and who approved them, who has used the system, when they used it and what they viewed.
With a CommunityManager.NET extranet you are in full control of your business with information and resources being managed efficiently and with the flexibility to grow as your business grows and delivering a faster return on investment.
