(PRWEB) April 23, 2005 -- Amadeus Consulting, a leading custom software development company, today announced the completion of a major project for BrightStores, a provider of e-commerce solutions to the promotional products industry. The advanced e-commerce platform supports the web sites of promotional products distributors and major corporations selling their branded merchandise. Corporate Express, Hitachi Data Systems, True Value Hardware and Dreyer's Ice Cream currently use the BrightStores platform for their "company stores."
The customizable web sites and sophisticated administrative tools were designed to meet the industry-specific requirements of distributors and their largest corporate customers. Distributors can create and manage their own customized stores and resell private-labeled stores to their customers. According to Dan Halama, President of BrightStores, "There is a strong demand for an e-commerce solution that addresses the complex needs of our industry. This was a significant technical challenge, and Amadeus has proven that they have the right stuff. Our customers are delighted with the new system, and we now have a real competitive advantage."
The promotional products industry has been slow to implement e-commerce solutions. Most distributors are small companies with demanding customers who expect a high level of service when special ordering company merchandise such as clothing emblazoned with their corporate logo. Large corporations have high expectations for inventory management and size, color, and logo placement options – all of which represent a complex programming challenge to handle all of these functions in a web-based, e-commerce solution. BrightStores offers features that meet many of the industry’s requirements including:
- Order management and approval work flow
- Budget allocation and control management
- Real-time inventory management with auto-replenishment triggers
- Flexible, rules-based pricing matrix for multiple user groups
- Dynamic, multi-tiered product category organization
- Powerful administrative backend tools with four user permission levels
- Public or private, password-protected company stores with user account management
- Custom order capabilities including logo choice and placement
- Shipping price and state sales tax calculation
- FedEx and UPS shipping integration.
Examples of BrightStores Company Stores can be seen on their website at www.brightstores.com.
