Store Manager

The ACE Store Manager provides you and your staff secure access to the various areas of your website. Access to areas may be managed by departments. The Store Manager also provides access to a variety of optional ACE modules including:

Online Sales

ACE supports online sales to both consumers (B2C) and customers with accounts (B2B). ACE provides unrivaled flexibility for managing and presenting your Products/Services from your website. Standard features include:

• Up to 10,000 Store Departments
• Up to 10,000 Product Lines per Department

Users of the optional e-Commerce module are able to manage flexible price and shipping models. Pricing is date range specific, variable based on units or dollars, adjustable by discount groups as well as customer-specific pricing. Similar flexibility exists for shipping fees.

Order Processing

The ACE Shopping Cart makes it easy for a visitor to buy your products online in a secure transaction environment. For customers that select the ACE e-Commerce functions Altair automatically implements the Visitor Login and Registration pages so that orders from existing customers are expedited. A key aspect of ACE e-Commerce is the ability to quickly go to the product/service required. Ease-of-use is key to a successful e-Commerce site. ACE provides the ability to track orders that originated on another website. This feature allows you to offer other website operators a commission for referring their visitors to your website. The associated report allows you to see, by referring website, the orders that were created as a result of another website referring a buyer to your website.

Order Payment Processing

Once the customer has completed creating an order he/she moves to the Check Out Page. At this page the buyer is presented with a complete Order Confirmation page. When the buyer approves the information on the Order Confirmation page he or she is redirected to secure credit card processing where the buyer enters credit card information. If the buyers card is approved, Merchant Bank partner begins the process of transferring payment to your bank. ACE recognizes Customer with accounts and will create and e-mail an invoice for these customers once the order has been shipped. The optional Accounts Receivable System will manage payments and provide summary text files suitable for import by your accounting application or to the optional Altair General Ledger System.

ACE provides all customers the ability to view order status and order history.

Business to Business Sales

ACE has the ability to sell to consumers and/or businesses. The Business-to-Business (B2B) subsystem is an add-on to the standard Business to Consumer subsystem. When ACE detects a B2B customer it automatically implements existing sales terms (e.g. COD, Net 30 days, etc.) for the transaction.
