Rapid Deployment Wholesaler Cart™

Are your wholesale customers asking you for online ordering? Is your accounting system just too awkward or outdated to offer a clear path to effective e-commerce? If so, Rapid Deployment Wholesaler Cart™ may be just what the doctor ordered.

At Distant Horizon most of our customers are wholesale supply companies. We've seen enough accounting and inventory control systems to know what the guts of a wholesaler look like. Most supply companies and distributors rely heavily on skilled staff on their phones and at their will-call counters to help customers buy the right products ... and the internet does not work that way.

The best way to serve internet customers is with a comprehensive web site that offers meaningful product descriptions, product photography, and listed features and benefits in a well-organized, searchable online catalog. If you do not yet have this information in a database or on a web site, it needs to be compiled. Sorry, it does. It's worth doing. We're talking about a nationwide or even worldwide revenue channel here.

We have evaluated nearly every e-commerce system produced by an accounting or enterprise software company and the primary lure of them is that they use existing product data and right out of the gate they feed orders directly into your accounting system. The problem is, the products generally look like crap on the web site and there is a total disregard for the concept of search engine optimization. We ask this: Would you rather enter 20 or 30 orders a day manually into your order system or would you like 5 orders per month to go into the system directly?

That said, Rapid Deployment can be integrated with nearly any system, we just wait until the site produces results to justify it.

The Rapid Deployment family of e-commerce products was designed to be self-maintainable, fully customizable, search engine optimized and very simple to use for your customer. With over 250,000 SKUs for sale online, we love to work with companies with thousands of products that are currently trapped in a back-end system. If you are succeeding in your local market, and your products are shippable, you will succeed on the web. Period.
