As Rokenbok grew, they wanted to add direct sales by adding an eStore to their company’s website. They added eStore Advantage from Nodus Technologies to integrate their solution.
December 30, 2003 (Press Release) --
In order to capitalize on demand for direct sales, Rokenbok added an eStore to their web site in 2001. This solution was based on Microsoft® Commerce Server, Microsoft SQL Server™; and an upgrade of Microsoft Business Solutions–Great Plains®.
After further reviewing Rokenbok’s needs, Rose Business Solutions, their Microsoft reselling partner, suggested Rokenbok contact Nodus Technologies to discuss integrating their credit card payment management solution. Ultimately, Rokenbok chose Nodus Technologies’ eStore Advantage which provides end-to-end integration of web orders and electronic payments with Microsoft Great Plains. The solution integration expertise of Technology Consulting Group (TCG) was engaged to implement the solution.
The total solution, based on Microsoft products, provided Rokenbok with improved order processing at less than half the cost of a custom built solution.
"Nodus provided a powerful and flexible solution. Thanks to this application, we're managing three times the order volume over last year with the same staff and expect to recoup our investment in the first 90 days of use."
- John Kiester, Rokenbok Director of Information Technologies
SITUATION:
While Rokenbok’s primary business is selling to independent toy retailers and chains, they are also looking to grow the direct sales component of their business. In 2001, they decided to develop an eStore to use the internet as a direct retail distribution point.
From the company’s inception in 1997, Rokenbok has relied on Microsoft® Business Solutions–Great Plains® as their financial software. As the company grew and moved toward increasing direct sales over the web, they needed to continue to upgrade and expand their software solution.
SOLUTION:
As Rokenbok looked to scale up their solution, their Microsoft reselling partner, Rose Business Solutions, Inc. suggested that Kiester talk to Nodus Technologies about credit card processing integration. Kiester connected with Donte Kim, President of Nodus Technologies, at Convergence.
After exploring the benefits of solutions provided by Nodus Technologies, Rokenbok asked TCG to add Nodus Technologies’ eStore Advantage to their solution. eStore Advantage is a middleware application that allows order information to be communicated between Rokenbok’s eStore and Microsoft Great Plains in real-time.
“I love how seamlessly this solution operates,” says Kiester. “It’s easy to configure and as we improve our business processes, we can rapidly modify our solution without the high cost of custom programming.” He also appreciates the solution’s inherent “intelligence” which alerts him to errors when they happen; thus, enabling him to resolve issues immediately.
Rokenbok is on track to process two and one half to three times the direct order volume they did last year, with half of that volume coming during the holiday season.
