      • IBM Management Center for WebSphere Commerce

        The IBM Management Center for WebSphere Commerce, or Management Center, is a suite of tools to support store management, merchandising, and marketing tasks for business users (Sellers, Marketing Managers, Product Managers, Catalog Managers, and others).

      • IBM Sales Center for WebSphere Commerce
        • Getting started with the IBM Sales Center

          The IBM Sales Center for WebSphere Commerce helps you accomplish your customer-service tasks easily and efficiently. You can work with orders and quotes for many customers and in many stores at the same time. In addition, you can quickly find information and compare products.

        • Stores

          When you log onto the IBM Sales Center, no stores are available. You have to select a store explicitly, and you can only select from stores to which you have access. Within the Stores view, you can have an unlimited number of stores available, but only one store can be active at a time. Your available stores are based on either a B2B direct or consumer direct business model:

        • Customers and organizations

          All orders are associated with customers. You can create profiles to register new customers with a specific store using the Customer editor. The difference between creating a B2B and consumer direct customer is that the B2B direct customer has to be created in the context of an organization.

        • Orders

          You can use the IBM Sales Center to create an order for a new or existing customer by beginning with a new order. Alternatively, you can create a new order based on the information in an existing order or quote. You can also modify many of the details in an existing order (such as item quantities, shipping addresses, payment methods, and so on) after the order is submitted but before all items in the order have been fulfilled. In addition, you can view and work with merchandising associations related to the items in an order as well as view marketing promotions that might be of interest to the customer.

        • Quotes

          • Clearing a quote from view
