Future trends of ERP as related to e-commerce The future of Enterprise Resource Planning software solutions appears to be directed toward the Internet providing a link within the overall business of the organizations. The Online Store will allow products are displayed as multi-media objects with texts, photographs, and sound. Customers are then able to navigate their way through the hierarchical displays of the Product Catalog for chosen articles, or search for articles using a built-in search tool. Digital provides a vehicle for searching large or unstructured product catalogs. Search speed may be thousands of products to be sought out in a matter of seconds.
Customers simply find an article they want to buy and put it into their virtual shopping basket.
Another feature provides customers the ability to put more than one of the same article in their shopping basket at the same time. There is flexibility not found in many shopping basket Internet sites which allows a customer to put an article back on the shelf by deleting it from their shopping basket. When the customer has completed shopping and wants to checkout, they must request a price quotation. New customers purchasing for the first time in the MySAP Online Store have to register. Registration entails entering information such as name and address.
