AXSAPT eCOMMERCE
Aimed at small to medium businesses, the Axsapt eCommerce
module provides a simple-to- use and cost effective facility
for businesses to provide a live 24 hour, 7 day a week sales
environment through the internet. Fully integrated with the
Sybiz Vision accounting system (versions 3.0 and 4.0 fully
supported), the Axsapt eCommerce module obtains product
details from an existing Sybiz Vision database to display
selected inventory items on an e-commerce website. This
enables your customers to make stock enquiries, view product
images, and place sales orders over the internet using a
standard web browser. Casual customers can purchase products
by providing credit card details over a secure link. Account
customers, who see products priced at their specific
discounts, are able to enter either credit card or purchase
order details.

Simplicity and User-Friendliness
Axsapt eCommerce is a simple to use package that requires
little maintenance and can be installed quickly. The
simplicity of Axsapt eCommerce and its integration with
Sybiz Vision gives your business quick, simple access to
e-commerce sales. In fact, the hardest choice you have to
make is which colour and font style your site will adopt. Axsapt eCommerce has been designed to mesh in with Microsoft
Windows to make it easier for users to navigate.
eCommerce Manager
The eCommerce Manager assists you to customise and maintain
your website. It allows you to change the messages on your
home page, change the colour scheme of your website, change
headings, text, fonts, inventory listings, credit cards
being offered, login accounts , freight charges and select
button and menu graphics. The eCommerce Manager also manages
the processing of sales orders received by the website.
Improved Productivity and
EfficiencyAxsapt eCommerce will reshape the way your business
operates. It will help your business grow, reduce costs and
improve business efficiency. Axsapt eCommerce automatically
downloads your customer's orders into the Sybiz Vision
accounting system, reducing the processing time for staff
and allowing them to attend to more important tasks.
Security Matters
Although Axsapt eCommerce can be run on an in-house web
server, your customers will receive optimal performance if
the system is run at an external web hosting service that
has a high-speed connection to the internet. As well as
being cost effective, running your Axsapt eCommerce system
at a web hosting service give you the following security
benefits:
1. Reduced Risk - No Need for an expensive Firewall
between your company and the Internet
Running Axsapt eCommerce at an external web hosting service
means that you are not required to have a permanent internet
connection. Your web hosting service will also provide a
secure environment for your data.
2. Reliable Data Transfer
Axsapt eCommerce uses FTP, a reliable transfer protocol, to
upload and download files to and from your remotely hosted
web server. If a file is corrupted by a communications
problem when it is being transferred, eCommerce Manager
allows you to easily re-transfer the file, and maintain the
integrity of your data.
3. Transfer only necessary data - keep costs to a
minimum.
Uploading only a subset of your database minimises transfer
times and keeps your internet access costs to a minimum.
With Axsapt eCommerce, you can avoid the costs of expensive
direct internet connections and specialised network
hardware.
Cost Effectiveness
Axsapt eCommerce has the same functionality as many of the
bigger packages out in the market but at a more affordable
price. Axsapt eCommerce also gives you the opportunity to
publish detailed product information on the internet without
having to design and print expensive brochures. Your clients
will be able to conduct their own product selection from the
information and images on your web site, without taking the
time of your valuable sales staff, leaving them to
concentrate on finding new customers. Axsapt eCommerce
allows you to advertise your products to the global market
and cost effectively take orders from remote locations.
System Requirements
Sybiz minimum requirements are a colour VGA monitor, Pentium
based CPU with 128Mb RAM or better and with at least 100Mb
free hard disk space running Windows 98, Windows 2000 or
Windows XP Professional. Axsapt eCommerce can only be used
in conjunction with Sybiz Vision 3.0 or 4.0. You will
require an internet connection with an Internet Solution
Provider (ISP) for uploading and downloading files and an
account with an ISP that provides a remote hosting service.

space on a server running Microsoft NT 4 (SP4) or better,
