Click on a feature link to view a brief description on the topic.
The SaleMaster framework is built around a set of core classes continuously
developed since 2002 and incorporated in tens of applications so far.
The main goals of design have been easy mainternance and extensibility.
There are two separate parts we use pubic core and administrative backend core.
The public core is designed with priority of speed and visual capabilities, while the backend core
is designed in such a way to provide common interfaces and manageability convenience.
Both cores incorporate the same high level of security.
SaleMaster features an extensive electronic stock catalogue system.
The catalogue supports unlimited levels of categories in single or multiple hiearchies.
The products database is fully searchable and supports unlimited number of products.
Sorting based on arbitrary criteria is also supported.
Each product description allows for great details in several sections and will be adjusted
to properly display the features of your speciffic products.
Product relations are also supported allowing the marketing of accessories and consumables
for your products. You can link multiple products allowing your custommers to choose from
multiple choices or packages.
The catalogue also supports featured items in each category allowing you to accent
on certain items and display them on top of the product list, just like on ebay and search engines.
SaleMaster shopping cart is extremely easy to use while maintaining
all required features. Users can add items to the cart, remove items from
the cart, change the number of items of certain type, group items of the same type,
impose stock restrictions where needed, select delivery service and calculate shipping fees.
Our shopping cart automatically creates and tracks a secure order for each user
session when items are requested. All the details needed are saved in the database.
No client side scripting is ever used like in other solutions imposing security risks.
This cart allows custommers to be sent to checkout without any tedious overhead.
SaleMaster solutions feature an extensive shipping costs calculator.
Multiple delivery services are supported. For each service you can have multiple size/weight
clasess allowing you to set different policies for different packagings.
You can set base cost, flat surcharges, overweight surcharges and discounts
for each service/weight class.
SaleMaster solutions support 3 modes - no online payments, single payment gateway
and multiple payment gateways.
Our shopping cart system automatically generates order records. When the custommer decides
to proceed to checkout a payment service gateway is choosen and the custommer is assisted to
escrow the appropriate amount.
SaleMaster payment gateway integration allows for secure payment tracking and notification.
If desired automatical stock tracking and automatic invoice generation processes apply.
Records are kept for all payments performed and their association with speciffic orders. In the normal
way of work no sensitive custommer data is kept to comply with privacy norms.
We have integrated several payment gateways so far including:
PayPal, Click2Pay, Barclaycard(UK), NOCHEX(UK), PROTX(UK), MoneyBookers, WireCard(DE), PaysafeCard(AU).
The backbone of each SaleMaster based solution is the administration backend application.
The administration backend application allows for management of the catalogue and
rules (like shipping services) as well as order and payment tracking. It employs
common interfaces for database management and reporting.
Each inventory can be managed and browsed through a fast and powerfull
interface with complex features like advanced filtering and bulk management functions.
In SaleMaster orders are automatically created by the shopping cart.
After an order is created it is tracked in the database through all
stages until delivery confirmation and then it's archived.
Orders are persistent in SaleMaster, which allows for reliable tracking of
ownership, order stages and payments. You see track order details,
custommer contact info, payment details and all types of related data.
There is also a template driven mailing feature allowing you to send confirmation and feedback emails to custommers.
There are also mainternance routines allowing you to purge incomplete orders and cleanup the database.
Salemaster allows for stock tracking on several levels of the platform.
Stock tracking safety features can be enabled in the shopping cart and the catalogue.
Also stock can be tracked after each sale is made thus ensuring actual stock levels.
Stock tracking is optional as many businesses cannot track or do not need stock levels.
We have a clear policy for software support and you can always rely on
our team to attend quickly to your inquiries.
SaleMaster is a continuously developed framework which has undergone extensive
testing with existing applications. Our team has deep knowledge of all aspects of
the framework functionality and has extensive experience supporting existing applications.
We provide original visual designs for our custom ecommerce solution development.
Send us your design notes and requirements and we will prepare 3 design proposals for your new
ecommerce solution.
We can either build a new visual style or use an existing one from your existing applictions.
Public sites based on SaleMaster framework employ a templating system in
order to separate content from presentation. This templating system is a variation of
SMARTY template system. It allows virtually any visual design to be used with the
framework without losing functionality.
SaleMaster based solutions are easy to integrate into existing company solutions.
Depending on the technologies used in your existing site there are several approaches to this goal.
The applications could be fully integrated on code level or various parts could be mixed at user
interface level.
SaleMaster is a modular framework. New modules can easily be added in order to add functionality.
We also provide precreated addon modules that can be used with the framework
and come at much lower prices. Check our addons page for more information.
SaleMaster is a modular framework. Module interfaces are extremely flexible and
the applications can employ unlimited number of modules
Furthermore every aspect of the process flow can be overriden thus allowing us to
adapt toy your requirements without any unavoidable requirements by our framework.
SaleMaster based solutions can be easily connected to other
business applications including distributor datafeeds, product databases and
reporting solutions.
For example the product catalogue can be synchronized with a
distributor database and you can have automatically updated prices and stock levels.
