ExpandIT Internet Shop

Internet Shop for Dynamics NAV Financials

This solution rapidly expands your customer interface to include the web. You can offer your customers trade agreements, volume discounts, multiple currencies, multiple languages and credit card payments on the Internet, all maintained in the administrative systems.

With the discount features and the multiple languages and currencies you can service named customers and/or the general public. In other words, the professional Internet Shop can be used for sales over the Internet to businesses (business-to-business) and to consumers (business-to-consumers).

The solution is fully integrated with your existing Navision Financials. This ensures that the information presented in the Internet Shop is identical with the business information used in the rest of your organization. Furthermore, you do not need to update more systems to present reliable business information in your Internet Shop.

The Internet Shop operates independently of the administrative system and it does not expose the administrative system directly to the Internet. This means that your web site can have as good response times as you agree with the Internet Service Provider (ISP). It also ensures 24x7 availability because your shop will be open as long as the Internet and your ISP is available. Consequently, you can service your customers even at night when the administrative system is inaccessible e.g. during backup, maintenance, or for any other reason.

Your Internet Shop can be open all year, have as many salesmen as you want and have as many check-out tills as you decide. All this maintained in your existing systems and synchronized with the Internet Shop.

The administrative tool is a graphical user interface designed so that Non-technical staff can update the site with pictures, descriptions, new products, links and for the more experienced HTML programming can be done. When working in the administrative system you have the possibility to see the outcome of the changes before the actual upload to the store version currently running.

• Realtor Portal: Allows the realtors to review their current sales status and print commission statements for listings, etc.

Architecture

Dynamic Real Estate Broker is built on Microsoft's premier business software application that already includes a solid foundation of accounting and management information modules.

The architecture is based on a three-tier model, with:

• Role Tailored Client (client tier): A client user interface that provides the front end. Users can also access information through a Web-based client that runs on Microsoft SharePoint Services.
• Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server (service tier): A middle-tier server that provides the business logic layer. It is a .NET based Windows Service application that works exclusively on SQL Server.
• Microsoft SQL Server (database tier): A database server that provides the data layer.

The benefit of the three-tier model is that the connection between the client tier and the service tier does not require a high speed connection. In most two-tier models the client and the server must have a high-speed Ethernet connection but in the three-tier model normal DSL or Cable connection to the Internet is sufficient.

Customer Relationship Management

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) allows you to track contacts such as prospects, customers, and vendors. You can assign tasks and meetings to individuals and the system will integrate to their Microsoft Outlook automatically. You can create email campaigns and letters and send them to prospects, customers, and anyone in your contact list based on configurable selection criteria. Dynamic Real Estate Broker will even log your interactions and save them inside the database for later review. Incoming and outgoing emails can also be assigned to a contact and logged into Dynamic Real Estate Broker.

Link Management helps you to link or attach any document to listing such as contracts, surveys, etc. This function allows any number of links and attachments to listings, agents, commission plans, etc.

Agent Commission Management

Dynamic Real Estate Broker constantly keeps track of agent commission levels and calculates needed performance to obtain next level. The system also features an Agent Internet Portal using Microsoft SharePoint technology.
