B2C e-Commerce Solution
Skytronik are a mail order company, selling computer components to system builders and people upgrading their PCs. They operate in a high volume, low margin sector.

As a rapidly growing business, Skytronik wanted to explore the benefits of E-Commerce within their operation. After a period of running a static site, Skytronik concluded that a solution was needed to integrate their Web site with their Sage Line50 accounts package.

The initial use of E-Commerce by Skytronik was effective but resulted in a large amount of duplication and cross-referencing of pricing and details. This led to inconsistencies in pricing between telephone orders and online orders. This also restricted the number of products they could offer on the site as it was very difficult and time consuming to keep prices up-to-date.

The brief was to develop an e-commerce solution that would allow them to add products to the site easily and would eliminate the manual data input of recieved order details into their accounting system. As an existing Sage Line 50 user, Skytronik needed an E-Commerce solution to integrate into their existing order processing and invoicing system.

Fusion developed the 'd-fusion' e-Commerce system that takes all current product details stored in their accounting system, Sage, and automatically updates their site.
