One Inventory - Multiple Online Storefronts 

The modular architecture of the sell side applications provided in a hosted or standalone environment helps to connect suppliers and retailers in a simple and effective way. Once a supplier has set up his online inventory and catalog - the supplier can sell direct to consumers (setting up his own e-store)  or he can sell indirect via an unlimited number of resellers. The supplier simply registers the retailer in the system and the retailer will receive an invitation to set up an online store with the suppliers products.
 

1. Supplier/ Catalog Benefits The built in retail management tools enable the supplier to take control of his offering in the retail market. The supplier controls the master inventory and display of the products and can invite or reject retail stores to set up an e-store. 

The ability to provide retail stores a fast and reliable online storefront set up ? including drop shipment facilities ? enhances the relationship between product supplier and retail store. Convenience, economics and time to market are benefiting the retail store owner and will likely keep him more loyal to the existing supplier.

2. Retail Benefits  Instead of creating the online catalog, scanning and setting up images of products ? all information is readily available to the retail storeowner and can be modified in case of pricing, merchandising, product mix, etc.  

The fast time to market, economics and convenience are major benefits to the retailer. Inventory management and shipment is handled by the specific product supplier and does not inherit any inventory costs or additional insurance burdens to the retail storeowner.   

A major benefit is the possibility for the retail storeowner to add his own inventory and be handled as a supplier  ? which allows him to enhance the product mix from that particular supplier and the online presence adds an additional revenue stream for the retailers business.

Tools that reduce the workload on system administrators 

1. Distributed Server Tools: 
These Tools enable data center operators to predefine the numbers of new subscribers for either online stores or inventory/ catalog management (suppliers). Once the pre set number is reached on a specific server the central admin server will configure the next available retail/supplier server with the default settings for seamless operations. 

2. Automated Table Organizer:
Each new subscriber information (supplier/ retailer product, pricing, catalog, etc) will be stored in database tables - to allow interactivity with each of the subscribers data on multiple servers the central admin server sets the connections between those tables that require interaction.

The technical administration tools empower data center operators, ASPs and ISPs to automate many of the tasks that are required to integrate new servers in the existing system. This reduces the administrative efforts and allows the system administrator to focus on system critical issues.
