Processing in WebEC

TopForm
customers can now create "Coupon"
programs in Web.ec. This enhancement
provides for customized “Trigger” and
“Coupon” amounts for each customer.
When
activated by making an entry in the “Trigger
Amount” field, each buyer for the customer
will have their Web.ec purchases
tracked.
At that point, when their total
purchases exceed the Trigger Amount, a coupon
will be generated in the amount designated in
the Coupon amount field for that customer.
A buyer may then use that coupon on a
subsequent order.
The coupon will be applied as a
negative Special Charge when the order is
passed through to TopForm order entry from
Web.ec.
Buyers
can also accumulate coupons as their purchases
reach each multiple of the trigger amount and
multiple coupons can be applied to a single
order.
For
example, let's assume a customer with a trigger
amount of $1,000.00 and coupon amount of
$10.00. If
a buyer purchases $2,572.00 on a single order,
2 coupons of $10.00 each would be generated,
and the buyer would
have a balance of $572.00 toward the
next coupon.
.

set up information on this option please call

As you probably already know, the TopForm
Variable Print Option offers the user the ability to upload
images for placement in their variable print items.
In conjunction with this feature, TopForm now offers an
on line image editing tool.
If the end user provides an image that is out of
proportion, the image editor will allow them to adjust and
resize that image. It
also provides for Cropping as shown in the illustration below.
In a side by side display, the user sees the portion of
the image that will be visible on the final proof.
Once they achieve the desired size and proportion,
they can click APPROVE and the unwanted area will be
cropped out of the picture.
The imaging tool also allows
the user to flip or rotate an image or change it to black and white.
For more information please call Sales at 800-448-1484.

Web.ec has a new feature, which allows the
buyer to save their current worksheet.
This new feature offers added convenience to your buyers
should they start an order, but for some reason, need to suspend
processing. A
new button is placed on the shopping cart page. When the buyer
presses this button, the worksheet header and lines are
“saved”. Through the use of the “include” feature, upon buyer
login a saved worksheet will be displayed by a link.
The buyer can use this link, so that the saved worksheet
information will be written to the current worksheet.
All lines will be analyzed as though the request were just made.
If the item is a variable print item, the corresponding
proof file names will be recognized.
The buyer can save, suspend the process again, turn the
worksheet into an order, or cancel by logging off.
For more information on this great new feature, contact
support at 770-239-7777.

A whole new system has been created in TopForm that integrates Web.ec
with the TopForm Request for Quote Program.
This new system provides the following functionality:
- RFQ's can now automatically select Vendor Groups by
Product Code
- Operator Security can now restrict the operator from
changing or deleting the vendors that were automatically selected
- Web.ec has been enhanced to provide for a Vendor RFQ
page that displays all the vendors' open RFQ’s.
- Vendors can enter their Quotes online and their
Quote data is automatically updated to the TopForm Request for Quote
program.
- Email notifications automatically update CSR’s as
vendors enter their quote data
- Using ODBC, managers can create customized reports
that detail, among other things, when operators choose vendors that
did not offer the best pricing.
Vendor login’s are created via the Web.ec “Buyer”
set up program with vendors representing a new buyer type.
Upon log in, the vendor sees a list of all their unquoted RFQ’s.
They can choose from this list and view PDF’s of the RFQ’s
including specs. In their response, they can enter the same data, the
TopForm operator would normally key into the RFQ program including
quantity, pricing and shipping information.
If the vendor has XML capability, they can send this data,
eliminating data entry for them as well.
Web.ec then sends an email notification to the vendor confirming
the information they entered. An email is also sent to the CSR showing the quote
information and information regarding how
many vendor quotes have been completed.
