Since E-Commerce and inventory control is the core of OMS, the administration platform really acted as an online ERP system for small-midsize companies.
The platform integrates with several other systems including but not limited to:
- The OMS frontend storefront, which can be customized to fit any design requirements necessary as well as custom functionality required for particular storefront shopping carts.
- Malvern shipping software.
- Abecas warehousing software.
- Various accounting software.
Many of the features found in these additional integrations are also found in similar form built directly into the platform. Without any additional software, the platform can provide access to membership administration, transaction management, inventory management, promotional campaigns, referral tracking, and detailed reporting on everything in between.
Membership
Membership models for web customers, vendors, distributors, sales reps, and several other specialized customer groups can be managed in a simple, straightforward way. The system supports for location profiles (multiple ship-to, bill-to, or remittance addresses, etc.), the creation of custom groups, tracking of role access to varying areas of the website or administration, and managing transactional data for users such as credit limits, tax status, and preference of payment.
