Collaborative Web Portal

Tradepoint  Tradepoint Ecommerce solutions encompass two groups of solutions. Collaborative web portals provide your company with the ability to collaborate through a website with clients, partners, resellers and 3rd parties without the shopping cart capability. 

A Collaborative web portal is integrated with your current website and will allow you to create logins through Tradepoint or through a registration form on your website with any group of contacts you have within Tradepoint. Your Member's Area will provide a menu of tools that you can collaborate on with various contacts on a variety of items including:

• Documents
• Projects
• Tasks
• Appointments
• Messages
• Account Information
• Leads

Shopping Cart

The Tradepoint ECommerce shopping cart automatically stores all cart information in a cookie on your customer's machines, so if your customer leaves your site and then comes back later, their shopping cart information will automatically restore all of their last selections. This is just one example of how Tradepoint ECommerce makes purchasing goods from your website easy, intuitive and simple. 

The shopping cart can be saved for later and allows automatic web registration and one session check outs. 

Express checkout function provides a quick placement of the order in the web store where all required information is detailed on one screen.

Synchronization Technology

Our proprietary synchronization technology that sets Tradepoint apart from other software solutions also applies to our Ecommerce solutions.

Most integrated solutions out there force your entire company to run on one database which resides on one server.  This is not the case with Tradepoint.  Changes that you make within Tradepoint will post to the website as you synchronize.  You can make quick changes that will post in real time as you synchronize to numerous items including:

- Client/Account Information
- Documents
- Project Information
- Product Listings Images & Image Galleries
- Static Text
- Press Releases
- Price Lists & Automatic Discounts
- Knowledge Base Articles

Maintaining your website and content can now be done through Tradepoint directly and whenever you need to. A basic DSL connection is all you need for optimal performance with our Ecommerce solutions. Even if you do not have an internet connection at the moment then next time you do have an internet connection your changes will post right away as you synchronize.

Security

Our security features within Tradepoint also extend to our ECommerce solution providing you with our triple 512K layered encryption technology for synchronization of data to your website as well as on your website directly providing your customers and partners the same level of encryption for sales transactions and collaboration through the web portal.

Every time you synchronize within Tradepoint your changes are pushed to the website as you synchronize. All data is compressed and then encrypted with the triple 512K layered encryption and sent through the back channels on the web to the node server to be pushed to your website and other machines in your company using Tradepoint and then decompressed to be viewable on your website and within Tradepoint to view and work with the latest data.

This provides an added layer of security for your financial and customer information that you won't find with most Ecommerce solutions. Further, Tradepoint's internal security profiles allow for specific information to only be viewable by profile and a single login so, your customers and partners only see their account information and no one else's. This unique combination of synchronization and security technology provide a winning combination for companies looking for rich functionality, easy managemability, and a level of security that will work continuously for you and and your website.
