AXIS VMerchant - Overview for Users of AXIS Diplomat

In essence, AXIS VMerchant works as follows:

Product information (descriptions, categories, prices, pictures, etc.) is automatically published to your web site from your AXIS Diplomat Stock Ledger.

Customer-Specific information (pricing, order history, current statement, login credentials, etc.) is automatically published from your AXIS Diplomat Sales Ledger.

Orders placed on your web site are automatically imported into your AXIS Diplomat Sales Order Processing module, exactly as if you had entered them yourself, except the customer has done the work for you!

All pricing models supported by AXIS Diplomat can be replicated on the web site, so if you offer customers net prices, or if you have a complicated discounting structure, quantity break pricing or currency pricing, this is all supported by AXIS VMerchant. The basic principle is if the right price is produced by the system when you enter an order for a customer in Sales Order Processing then the right price will be displayed when that customer logs in to your web site.

In a B2C environment, where typically no one is logging in, you can also offer web-specific pricing using any of the special pricing models available for trade customers.

The true elegance of the AXIS VMerchant solution is that none of this information needs to be entered twice since it is all automatically published to the web site from your AXIS Diplomat system; you update a price on your stock ledger and that price is automatically updated on your web site.
