Net, and Internet Secure are directly supported and recommended by FrontHost. The management application, which is accessed from your Web browser via a secure connection, is used to manage orders and customers, review sales graphs and reports, update inventory, and additional functions. Using your online ordering system to manage inventory makes a certain amount of sense, unless you are a larger corporation and have a more sophisticated inventory system. FrontHost offers a slew of features designed to keep customers returning to your e-commerce site. As customers browse your site, they are presented with a floating basket as an option instead of requiring that the screen be refreshed every time an order is logged.
Customers can also create custom catalogs with their favorite items.
In addition, you can provide customers with access to their order history and an instant check of their order status. You can also automatically send customers e-mail when their order status changes or when you put their favorite items on sale. Promotions can be implemented at any time, through customized banners and relational sales. You can suggest a similar or related item to one a customer has already purchased, such as shoe polish to accompany a shoes sale. There are three levels of service, depending on the amount of product in your catalog.
