The site quickly began driving business from around the world. This first foray onto the Internet proved a success. The business model called for Alliance Technologies to develop a significant supply site for registered customers, as well as a public retail site. The supply site provides multi-level pricing for individual customers based on the customers' logins. Pricing can be tailored for each customer by product class or type, or by individual product.
Payment can be by purchase order or credit card, depending on the individual customer's needs.
The first customer to use the e- business site was an office property management company with 80 facilities around the metropolitan area. Central office staff or individual facility managers can order their products, select a location for shipping from a list, and submit the order. Adventure Lighting worked directly with the firm to help both companies streamline their order and fulfillment processes. To support the e-business initiative, Alliance Technologies worked with Adventure Lighting to upgrade their Internet connection, local area network and workstations. Alliance Technologies provides training and on-going support to Adventure Lighting to help them make the most of their technology investment.
