With eStoreFront you get so much more that just a pretty Web site. You get a complete interactive eCommerce machine. For example, when a customer or prospect clicks the Chat button, a box pops up in RMA for you to respond. A recent study showed that only 28% of web site visitors actually want to call or email a company for information. Most would rather find the information on your web site. With Live chat, you can easily track your visitors and provide them with a pro-active chat box if they have any questions. This can lead to happier customers and an increase in conversion rates. If you can easily catch the customer in the buying cycle or solve their questions, then they are 15 times likely to complete a purchase with you. This can result in large jumps in conversion rate and sales.

GAIN MORE NEW CUSTOMERS
eStoreFront is not only for your existing customers, but also functions as a powerful marketing tool that will allow new customers to sign up for your delivery service. New customers sign up on your web site and their information is imported directly into Route Manager Advance for you to review!

TURN-KEY WEB SITE
Don’t have a web site? No problem – we can help you there too! Our talented web designers can help you to create a personalized web site for your company. Just provide us with the pictures and text you would like to include, and we take care of the rest! The login page and new customer sign up page are all integrated seamlessly into your new web site.

WEB SITES ARE A NECESSITY
The majority of consumers research products and services online before they purchase. Without an online presence, you could be losing potential customers to your competitors whom already understand the power of the internet.

I am currently using Route Manager and EC2000 but want to switch to eStoreFront. How do I do it?
For a “standard installation” – when you the customer has an RMA server and we host your entire web site, we can help you verify:

• That your server is running at least RMA 5.0.1 v6077 or newer
• The dot NET Framework version 3.5 needs is installed with at least service pack 1
• We have the ability to modify the firewall and forward ports to the RMA server (Usually a high numbered port 40,000 +)

I already have a Website but want to incorporate eStoreFront so my customers can check on their accounts and order product. What do I do and can you host it?
Yes we can host it and it is a simple process. You would get a URL similar to .estorefrontars.com. You would then create a link to it on your existing Web site pointing them to the new eStoreFront URL

I host my own web site and want to have the entire eStoreFront web portion on my own web host too. Is that possible?
Yes, but there are some requirements that must be met for the program to run correctly. You will want to verify these are met with your current provider or IT tech first. These include:

Since I already have a server that is running and hosting both RMA and my Web site, are there any additional requirements to run eStoreFront?
You do not need any additional hardware. You just need the ability to install programs on the RMA server (administrator access). You also need to have the ability to modify the firewall and forward ports to the RMA server (Port 80 for http access, Port 443 for https access)

I am an ASP customer and you already provide my hosting. Do I have to do anything?
We handle everything, no customer interaction needed. (Except web site layout information as required.)
