More and more, business-to-business buying and selling is done online, 24/7, allowing buyers
the opportunity to access and review a seller’s product offerings on-demand and providing
seller’s with a cost-saving portal for reaching customers and generating sales.
Epicor Storefront 8.0 is a comprehensive electronic commerce solution that allows companies to
provide Web-based sales functionality to their sales people as well as partners and customers.
Fully integrated to Epicor Enterprise Supply Chain Management (SCM) using Web services,
the solution supports multiple companies, languages, and currencies in one single Web site.
The administration tools augment the master data management capabilities in Enterprise SCM
with configuration options for product search tree, product details, images, campaigns, users,
and more.
PRODUCT EXPOSURE
Make your products and offerings searchable via the Internet, together with availability,
customer discounts, and net prices. The product search tree simplifies the search and offers a
good overview of your product range. Individual products can be promoted via news or
campaigns and be ordered with just a few clicks.
Similar products can be grouped as Product Models with common product information to
simplify presentation and maintenance.
ONLINE ORDERS AND QUOTES
Depending on permission level, the user can create, edit, or delete orders and quotations. Real-
time availability and customer net prices can be displayed. The order is saved into Enterprise
SCM instantly and the user will get a confirmation on-screen and optionally via e-mail with total
price, delivery date, and order number.
CAMPAIGNS AND NEWS
Campaigns and news can be created for customer groups or individual customers. Campaign
items can be highlighted on the welcome screen with special price or other offerings. A
purchase of certain items can qualify the customer for free gifts or reduced prices on other
items. All of this is managed via the built-in campaign designer.
GLOBAL AND LOCAL NEEDS
Due to the modular architecture, small organizations as well as global enterprises with multiple
Enterprise companies are supported. Each user logging in will be linked to a company, a
customer code, a user language and a document language. This way, a salesperson can place an
order for a customer using his or her own language preference, still producing product
descriptions and other order content in the customer’s language.

Online Sales of Spare Parts

versions of the catalogue that can be printed as
well as displayed online.

Online Sales of Complex Product

PRODUCT CONFIGURATION
As an option, Epicor Product Configurator can
be installed as an integrated part of the
Storefront. The Configurator guides the user
through the process of purchasing a complex
product which normally would require a skilled
salesperson.
A configuration step represents a component
or action of a specific type (component type).
Steps are numbered and linked to a certain
component type defined in the system. Steps
can be optional. Steps have a list of linked
possible physical components of the same type
that can be used in product construction.
A configuration rule describes relations between steps. Rules enforce certain dependencies
between configuration components.
Attributes are component features/characteristics that help to describe components. Attributes can
be numeric or enumerated (i.e., colors). They are used to filter components and to define rules.
Components represent the physical product elements the product is constructed from.
EPICOR ENTERPRISE STOREFRONT 8.0

Components always belong to a certain component type and may have attributes. Components
must be linked to physical stock items.
A Configuration is a set of steps and rules that describe a product structure. Configurations are
grouped in Product Groups.
Standard products represent physical stock items constructed from defined components and
corresponding to a certain configuration defined in the system.
