Common business problems / challenges and solutions

Competitions, special offers, special promotions, free downloads, news updates, promotional mini sites etc. Can I get these done?
Datum Connect's eCommerce platform can mirror many of the promotions that are offered off-line, making your marketing consistent across all mediums.

Can I allocate different customer groups to special customers?
Once a customer logs in, different prices, offers and information can be tailored. Alternatively, the information a customer views using a different URL can be customised. e.g. yourdomain.co.nz or yourdomain.com.au. You may want to give different prices to different countries.

How can I get orders actioned as soon as they are accepted?
Once an order is made online, multiple emails can be sent to different personnel. Pre-formatted packing slips, labels and delivery emails are created. The fulfilment teams can get online access to new orders. Depending on your delivery software package, orders can be automatically inserted into this package.

What happens when we need to get back to the customer with changes to the order?
The Datum Connect system allows you to edit orders and resend the order. Different payment gateways can offer the ability to charge for additional freight or changes in the order.

What if online stock does not reflect what is in the warehouse?
Depending on your accounting/stock system, stock levels on the website can be automatically updated. If stock is less than 3 or another predefined amount, a message on the website can direct customers to call to confirm if stock is available.

A website is not just a medium for representing your company, it is a form of media from which everybody can acquire information. You can use this media to sell advertising space to other businesses.

A recent trend has arisen where businesses feature their very own directory of complementary services.Here the visitor can search for information on a business that will enhance the use of your service. The company sells complementary businesses a listing in their directory. A good example is a catering company featuring a directory with businesses such as event co-coordinators, electronic equipment rental companies, etc.
