All-in-one e-business suite with integrated B2B-B2C e-commerce

B2C & B2B Ecommerce (Beta deployment within August of 2009)

If you're like most retail businesses, you have a POS system, an e-commerce shop which may not even have integrated inventory, and a CRM application, each running in its own isolated environment. There's lots of double data entry and lost intelligence which as a result means lost business. BizAutomation.com lets you run your entire operation more efficiently because you can leverage our internal cart or your own external best of breed cart using our web service API, and it's completely integrated into all the other business modules you use to manage your organization, including a great customer portal !.

Now you can have it all under one roof — your Web store, inventory management, order fulfillment, customer portals, and financials, as well as your customer relationship management software.
