Bizfinity introduces 'revenue suite' for small and medium businesses

[August 8th 2001]

Bizfinity, Inc. has introduced a new product line-up and pricing structure that now provides solutions that link together the core revenue processes of small and medium businesses from SOHOs to companies with up to 200 employees. Products range from an easy-to-use, multi-page Web site creator to a comprehensive, integrated suite of applications that enables businesses to better manage their online and offline commerce and customer relationship management functions while seamlessly synchronizing those functions with traditional back office activities, i.e. inventory management and accounting.

"Bizfinity has created the world's first 'revenue suite' for small and medium businesses," said Ronald Brown, CEO of Bizfinity. "Similar to a productivity suite, it has individual applications that address specific aspects of running a business and it provides additional benefits by integrating those applications. More importantly, the suite simplifies and synchronizes the process of selling online in conjunction with existing revenue activities, resulting in better customer relations and improved operational efficiencies."

Business owners can also for the first time "test drive" a Web site and/or Web store at Bizfinity's home page, essentially letting them build before they buy. A simple set-up wizard lets users select from 70-plus template styles, enter basic company information, and then with just a few clicks, a fully functional site is produced -- in under two minutes. Business owners can then go from "test drive mode" to a real Web site or store, customizing it by adding logos, images and additional text by signing up.

The new product line up includes:

• Web Site Creator lets you build a fully functional, multi-page Web site in just minutes -- without knowing HTML or having any other programming skills. Choose from a wide range of styles; then simply adjust color, font, and layout to obtain the precise look you desire. Upload your logo and other images, enter your content and the site is done.

• Web Store Creator provides a simple, straightforward way for to add shopping cart functionality and basic credit card processing to an existing Web site. Coordinate the look by selecting from numerous style, color, font and layout palettes (if the Web site was set up initially using Bizfinity's site creation tools, then Store Creator will automatically use the settings specified during the site building stage.) Upload and resize product images, setup a PayPal credit card processing account and a business is ready to provide customers with a secure, easy-to-use online shopping experience.

• eCommerce Express is the fast, easy way to create a fully functional e-commerce Web site. Choose from a wide range of styles, colors, fonts, and layouts to achieve the exact look desired. Upload your company logo and product images; enter the content, product descriptions, and prices; then setup the PayPal credit card processing account. It's that simple. Customers will then have access to a secure, easy-to-use online shopping experience.

• eCommerce Deluxe is a powerful suite designed to manage all aspects of selling products and services online. A straightforward, easy-to-use set-up assistant guides the process of building a comprehensive e-commerce site: from page design and layout to adding product descriptions and pricing, all the way through establishing a PayPal credit card processing account. Comprehensive auction submission and management features let users sell products and services on eBay, Yahoo! and Amazon auctions, control live auctions and manage winning bids. Both online store and auction orders are processed by eCommerce Deluxe while capturing detailed customer and order information simultaneously. Additionally, it prints packing lists, monitors and updates inventory, flags orders that have not been paid -- before they are shipped, tracks returns and creates a variety of reports.

• ProBusiness is a comprehensive integrated suite of applications designed to help small businesses sell products and services online and offline and better manage all of their revenue processes. With ProBusiness, companies can streamline their operations by eliminating redundant data entry through the sharing of information across core functions, including e-commerce, auction management, inventory management, order processing, customer and sales management, and accounting. Set up a comprehensive, customized e-commerce site that is completely integrated with your offline customer, sales, inventory and order activities. Then use ProBusiness's robust accounting features to generate invoices, manage accounts payable/receivable, maintain a double-entry system general ledger and create detailed reports.
