Manufacturers and Distributors--Why Not Have It All? B2B, CRM, VMI, SFA
Atlanta (July 2002) - With INTERPORT Version 3.0, by INTERSECT COMMERCE, companies do not have to choose functionality based on their budget. They choose based on desire, need, and return. Since 1998, INTERSECT COMMERCE has focused on developing and enhancing an affordable solution that allows companies to conduct all types of business over the Internet. Now, your clients, business partners, vendors, sales representatives, and customer service representatives can access information as needed. For instance:
Clients can access order status and order tracking, place orders, and view product promotions 24x7.
Vendors can manage inventory and view statistics and order habits.
Sales Representatives can access, edit, view, download, and/or print product literature, client sales history, and call reports.
Customer Service can more efficiently maintain product promotions, maintain product substitutions, and access orders and order tracking.
Business Partners can be presented with real-time custom catalogs, customer pricing, custom promotions, etc.
INTERPORT V.3.0 encompasses two powerful code generating "configurators". The Frontgate configurator controls the online appearance and data offering. The Backgate configurator employs adaptive logic which powers back-end integrations - and does not care what back-end that is. Frontgate and Backgate offer simultaneous, multiple platform, multiple ERP system support. Any platform, any database, any ERP system is supported. INTERPORT IS NOT AN OUT-OF-BOX SOLUTION. IT IS AN OPEN BOX SOLUTION. It is open and scalable, with point-and-click or drag-and-drop access to full integration. The hooks into the back-end are not hard coded. Backgate does not care if you have made modifications to your ERP system. With point-and-click selection of files, INTERPORT dynamically creates and runs the servlets required in completing the full integration with your specific ERP flavor. Both "configurators" produce error free self documenting code. In summary, it is fast, simple, and thorough, which is why the point-and-click Frontgate and Backgate configurators command the term affordable.
System integration, which has been touted as "the hardest part", "the most expensive part", yet "the essential part", is for INTERPORT "the easiest and most inexpensive part". It is true, most companies have heard it a million times over - seamless integration. Only INTERSECT customers can attest to INTERPORT'S power, ease of integration and return on investment.
Randy Sinclair, Sunbeam Corporation's Director of EDI /Sales Order, states:
"In all my years, I have never had a project go as smoothly as the INTERPORT implementation. Since we rolled out the Online Global Catalog and Sales Force Automation projects just two months ago, we have realized many benefits:
-Saving Sell Sheet printing and storage costs - $66,000
-Saving Sales force Remote Network Access - $21,500
-Saving not using Direct Image Services - $6,500
-Standing Ovation from 15 Vice Presidents, and 110 Sales Reps - PRICELESS"
Carol Lockwood, Director of IT for Hyde Manufacturing, states:
"We initially chose INTERPORT to increase customer service efficiency through Web self-service. However, the configurators within INTERPORT have allowed us to expand our fully integrated online functionality. With minimal INTERPORT training, the Hyde system analyst has become addicted to online automation through INTERPORT. We have now enhanced our site with Sales Force Automation and Online Account Reporting. INTERPORT has allowed us to expand our online offering, without expanding our IT budget."
However, seeing is believing. With INTERPORT V.3.0, INTERSECT will not offer a PowerPoint presentation. Business-to-business is the Internet. INTERSECT will, from any location, present a custom storefront over the Internet, along with a presentation of live customers conducting business before your eyes.

Full package license fee starts at $150,000 and includes SFA, B2B, and CRM. Selective Module license fee starts at $40,000.
