Depending upon your sales volume, there are two methods of processing: manual and automated. With manual processing, when a customer on your website places an order with their credit card, the order is sent to you via email and the customers credit card information is stored securely on the hosting server. You log in with a user name and password to retrieve the credit card details, and then process the payment yourself by contacting your bank.

Automated processing uses a "Payment Gateway" through which the website charges the customer's credit card automatically in "real-time".

Sales tax is calculated and added to the order for any states in which you have a physical presence.

There are numerous methods commonly used for calculating the shipping cost for an order: a percentage of the order, stepped rates, flat fee, real-time actual UPS cost, etc. No matter what your model is, we can accommodate it.

Web site security is of utmost importance to an e-commerce website, and we employ industry-standard SSL encryption (signaled by the familiar lock icon in Internet Explorer) to protect order data during the order submission process. In addition, to minimize the possibility of unauthorized access to critical financial information such as credit card numbers, they are stored in an encrypted format.

The same secure administrative part of the site that's used for product catalog maintenance also provides secure access to orders for fulfillment purposes.

If you already have an established fulfillment process utilizing an existing technology infrastructure (such as an IBM AS/400), the website can seamlessly integrate with and leverage that system.

Both as a convenience to the customer and revenue enhancer for the seller, cross-sell and upsell features can be very advantageous add-ons for an e-commerce site.

A promotion engine allows site managers to create new sales promotions at any time without the need for new site programming. Promotions can take many forms. Free shipping for certain items or orders over a set dollar amount, discounts on certain items, special pricing for product bundles, and much, much more. These promotions can help you balance inventory levels, address competitive issues, move closeout items, etc.

Simple content sites may only require a shared server with a basic set of software installed. E-commerce or heavily loaded sites sometimes require specialized architectures to accommodate dynamic content, personalization, e-commerce features, capacity scaling, and other capabilities. Such sites may require multiple, dedicated, load-balanced servers with multiple tiers protected by firewalls. For all sites we build, the underlying requirements drive the appropriate architecture.

Websites of interest, both internal and external, can be listed under a links page.

Similar to the Corporate Document Repository, but focused on company newsletters, employees can view old newsletters and see the most recent one.

An electronic calendar that shows what's happening when.

One of the annoyances in many organizations is the double booking of a conference room. This can be avoided using an intranet-based conference room calendar and scheduler. Everyone can see who has booked a room and when. An individual or group can book a room once, daily, weekly, or monthly. Special requests can also be included along with the booking (e.g. coffee and bagels, or an overhead projector). The intranet e-mails the relevant parties in control of the refreshments or hardware. Any number of conference rooms can be accommodated.

This system allows documents to be uploaded and sorted by multi-level categories or divisions. Documents can be located by browsing the category "tree" or using a keyword search facility. An administrative interface allows for managing the system.
