College StoreFront Features
- Independent Front-End
Since the web application is not tied
to any one specific back-end system, source data from multiple systems
may be used together to present a common, consistent view of your available
information. For example, Student enrollment information from the
Registration application can be combined with TextBook Adoption information
and current Inventory status to present a customizable booklist based on the
students ID.
- Configurable Department Menus
The store directory consists of Departments,
Sections, and Categories. You have total control over both the naming
and contents of the directory. Items are assigned within that structure for
easy location by your customers.
- Simple but Flexible Local Inventory
Inventory items are maintained by default in a local
datasource, separate from any back-end system. This allows you to sell only
those items you desire from the web site and not your entire inventory.
- Keyword Indexing
Each Inventory item's description is keyword indexed
to allow for fast/flexible searches by the customer. This means that the customer
can search for items across the entire store directory without having to browse
through each section.
- Simple email interaction
Various forms are provided to allow your customers
to interact with you when additional information is required. This information
is entered into standard HTML forms and emailed to a designated address. Forms
are provided for:
- TextBook Adoptions
- DeskCopy Requests
- General Questions
- Adoption Status
- TextBook Lookup by Course/Term
TextBook information may be retained in a local
datasource (if no personalized integration with a back-end system is available)
and retrieved via the selection of one or more course/term criteria. This
allows the students to quickly and easily locate and purchase their textbooks
even before arriving on campus.
- Trade/General Book Keyword Indexing
All words located in the title, author, or description
fields (or their equivalents if integrated into a back-end system) are indexed
and may be utilized in a search for a book.
- Optional email verifications
The user can opt at checkout time whether or not
they would like an email verifying their order. If they choose email confirmation, the
email will be sent when the order is closed via a Back-Office function.
- User specified shipment options
At checkout time, the user can select to whether to pickup
their order personally, or have it shipped. If the order is to be shipped, standard
shipping charges are automatically added to the order.
- New Features are Constantly Being Added
We are continually adding new features to the Basic
Application, and can always personalize your environment to match your specific
needs. We always welcome your suggestions for enhancements!
