Sage X3 offers a fully integrated extension for Multichannel Retailers. Its aim is to meet the specific needs of mid-sized multichannel retailers and direct marketers, and help them manage customer-centric end-to-end business processes. Sage X3 integrates all business processes and information within one software system. Along with the Multichannel Retail module, it provides multichannel retailers and direct marketers a cost-effective solution to manage their business globally, while offering functionality in areas such as marketing and campaign management, merchandising, pricing and promotion, order processing, credit checking and customer rating, e-commerce, warehousing, customer service, finance and business intelligence. This in turn will help improve your customer’s experience. Critical information can be accessed in just a click, allowing you to give accurate information to your customer in real-time. With the fuzzy-logic order entry screen, you can search for existing records at the same time capturing partial information from a customer on the fly, such as a postal code or misspelled customer name. There are many other functions and features that are discussed in more depth below.
Learn about Targets and Increasing Customer Loyalty
Sage X3 introduces a powerful new business intelligence engine – powered by leading Business Objects™ technology – which gives customers the ability to analyze customer data and business performance on the fly. In just a few clicks, this intuitive, fully integrated tool helps users build relevant targets for new campaigns by learning how an item, customer segment, or geographical location is contributing to sales revenue, volume and margin. It is now easier to understand which products are customers’ favorites and which products they never buy.
Build New Competitive Advantages
Sage X3 is built on the Sage Application Framework for the Sage X3 technology (SAFE X3). This SOA/Web-native platform provides users with the latest, best-in-class collaboration capabilities in either client/server or Web mode. It is fully Web Services compliant (XML, UDDI, WSDL, SOAP), which enables users to access and execute any services over a network, such as the Internet, as well as to create new collaborative applications with partners.
An e-commerce solution, Sage X3 also provides with Sage Xtend a comprehensive environment for Web development and Web storefront integration.
More, Sage X3 offers a highly productive 4GL Integrated Development Environment. It allows companies to easily adapt the system to support company-specific procedures and create exclusive applications to better service their customers, while keeping their development safe from the standard functional updates or upgrades of the system.
