Yes, last post before the good stuff today. Here is one way Hyperchannel brings in revenue - ready to go Online stores. Here is the text on this from their website (this should provide some insight as to how the Mega site will work too): ******************************************************** E-Commerce Services Hyperchannel understands what it takes to develop a true business-to-business E-Commerce solution. We have applied that knowledge to develop our own state of the art Hyperchannel Online system as the e-channel to our reseller customers. But unlike our competitors and current vendor strategy, we have taken the concept one step further and developed a solution that supports a three-tier channel model. We call it Hyporium™ . Hyporium™ from Hyperchannel Hyporium™ is a solution which enables you to start trading with your customers online fast. It's designed to save development time and resources and short-circuit the e-commerce learning curve. Ready-made catalogue Hyporium™ includes ready-made comprehensive catalogues of Networking Products, Computer Books and Training courses so that you can immediately start offering your customers a wide-ranging choice. Trading online is far more efficient than traditional purchasing and selling, so we offer you extra margin points, enabling you to protect your eroding margins and offer your customers the best prices. Add your own catalogues We give you the ability to add up to four additional catalogues of your choice as and when you are ready. It's your store not ours! It has your name and your branding. And we've chosen a truly independent host to ensure that your customer information is secure. But isn't E-Commerce expensive? This is a low-cost solution with no capital investment required. You pay an annual license at a fraction of the cost of building your own store. Popular packaged solutions typically cost from £3000 upwards and require costly customisation. And they are also business-to-consumer biased. We charge just £995 per annum for a fully maintained and hosted business-to-business solution. Easy to manage You don't need any technical know-how to upload the catalogues or operate the system - it's all browser based. But will they come? We'll drive traffic to your Hyporium™ site through our on-going promotional campaign and in-line with our usual reseller programmes.** Is it secure? Built-in security protects you from fraud. All key data and transaction approval is SSL secured. Hyporium™ uses credit accounts as well as having credit cards payments (but only if you want them) giving you total control. And you choose who gets an account and password, so no snooping competitors or other undesirable visitors. Won't I lose personal contact with my customers? Commodity orders go via the web, leaving more time for personal contact where human interaction is needed and the added-value justifies it. Hyperchannel E-Commerce Consultancy We can easily extend Hyporium™ to include your own bespoke requirements from cosmetic changes through to full back office integration at very cost-effective rates. We can do this because the system uses a specialist toolset for rapid development and technology chosen specifically for its ability to connect to virtually any platform. Buying E-Commerce expertise can be pretty hit and miss, so take it from a company that knows by experience, and get your services from someone that has actually implemented a business-to-business E-Commerce solution and depends on it. If you are are an existing customer download our Online Agreement as a first step to building your site. New customers, can also download and complete this agreement but in order to enable us to give you the best possible service, we ask that you also complete a credit account application form. Register and download agreement.
