More and more, business-to-business buying and selling is done online, 24/7, allowing buyers

the opportunity to access and review a seller’s product offerings on-demand and providing

seller’s with a cost-saving portal for reaching customers and generating sales.

Epicor Storefront 8.0 is a comprehensive electronic commerce solution that allows companies to

provide Web-based sales functionality to their sales people as well as partners and customers.

Fully integrated to Epicor Enterprise Supply Chain Management (SCM) using Web services,

the solution supports multiple companies, languages, and currencies in one single Web site.

The administration tools augment the master data management capabilities in Enterprise SCM

with configuration options for product search tree, product details, images, campaigns, users,

and more.

PRODUCT EXPOSURE

Make your products and offerings searchable via the Internet, together with availability,

customer discounts, and net prices. The product search tree simplifies the search and offers a

good overview of your product range. Individual products can be promoted via news or

campaigns and be ordered with just a few clicks.

Similar products can be grouped as Product Models with common product information to

simplify presentation and maintenance.

ONLINE ORDERS AND QUOTES

Depending on permission level, the user can create, edit, or delete orders and quotations. Real-

time availability and customer net prices can be displayed. The order is saved into Enterprise

SCM instantly and the user will get a confirmation on-screen and optionally via e-mail with total

price, delivery date, and order number.CAMPAIGNS AND NEWS

Campaigns and news can be created for customer groups or individual customers. Campaign

items can be highlighted on the welcome screen with special price or other offerings. A

purchase of certain items can qualify the customer for free gifts or reduced prices on other

items. All of this is managed via the built-in campaign designer.

GLOBAL AND LOCAL NEEDS

Due to the modular architecture, small organizations as well as global enterprises with multiple

Enterprise companies are supported. Each user logging in will be linked to a company, a

customer code, a user language and a document language. This way, a salesperson can place an

order for a customer using his or her own language preference, still producing product

descriptions and other order content in the customer’s language.

PRODUCT CONFIGURATION

As an option, Epicor Product Configurator can

be installed as an integrated part of the

Storefront. The Configurator guides the user

through the process of purchasing a complex

product which normally would require a skilled

salesperson.

A configuration step represents a component

or action of a specific type (component type).Steps are numbered and linked to a certain

component type defined in the system. Steps

can be optional. Steps have a list of linked

possible physical components of the same type

that can be used in product construction.

A configuration rule describes relations between steps. Rules enforce certain dependencies

between configuration components.

Attributes are component features/characteristics that help to describe components. Attributes can

be numeric or enumerated (i.e., colors). They are used to filter components and to define rules.

Components represent the physical product elements the product is constructed from.



STOREFRONT 8.0EPICOR ENTERPRISE

Components always belong to a certain component type and may have attributes. Components

must be linked to physical stock items.

A Configuration is a set of steps and rules that describe a product structure. Configurations are

grouped in Product Groups.

Standard products represent physical stock items constructed from defined components and

corresponding to a certain configuration defined in the system.
