TechniCon's CustomCommerce provides a flexible platform to support e-commerce solutions for any organization involved with complex products, including manufacturers, resellers and distributers.

Your customers don't want choices; they want exactly what they want. CustomCommerce allows buyers to quickly find and order complex, highly-configurable products over the Web.

Replicating the expertise of a manufacturer's best salesperson, the system engages users in a dialog, allowing them to specify a range of application-specific constraints for their particular problem. Customers enjoy an easier, more convenient purchasing experience.

To start, CustomCommerce leverages existing product information in almost any format (e.g. text, CSV, HTML, PDF, SIF and CAD files) to get your product data online quickly.

CustomCommerce then enables a comprehensive set of search and selection tools to guide customers through a self-service process, matching products to specific customer needs.

For options and accessories, the product configurator applies rules and constraints to ensure that product assemblies are accurate and deliverable.

CustomCommerce's selection features combine with advanced product visualization tools to allow customers to see the exact product they've selected.

Customers can rotate, tilt and magnify 3D images to examine products from all angles, allowing custom products to be closely reviewed before being ordered.

To document the sales process, CustomCommerce can dynamically generate CAD models, cut sheets, bills-of-materials and quotes.

To complete the sale, CustomCommerce offers a full-featured shopping cart and checkout that integrates with existing order-entry systems.

Using CustomCommerce, mechanical engineers no longer have to sort through dozens of printed part catalogs. Furniture buyers can view different fabrics, finishes and options for a chair without ever visiting a showroom.

The bottom line: faster sales cycles, fewer order errors and returns, more satisfied customers.
