Accolent ERP offers multiple options to meet the eCommerce needs of Distributors
eCommerce Software for Distributors
Accolent ERP eCommerce software for distributors is made up of two components: (1) a Self-Service Portal, and (2) Online Stores. The Self-Service Portal is a solution that allows existing customers to place orders online and get complete access to their accounts to see transaction history, see customer statements, make payments on their accounts and more. Online Stores linked to Accolent ERP can be created on multiple established eCommerce platforms and marketplaces such as Magento, Shopify, Amazon, e-Bay, etc. The Online Stores can all be managed from Accolent ERP using the linkages.

- Select any product that is already in Accolent ERP for display in the Self-Service Portal
- Once checked, the product and its associated product information including images, list price, weight, cubes, package information, web comments and optional in-stock level will pull directly from Accolent ERP.
- Customers will immediately see the product in the Self-Service Portal and will be able to pull it up from the search, drill-down to product details and put the product on an order
- Products displayed on the Self-Service Portal can also be designated as “New”, “Special”, or “Featured”, if desired.
