Wiley, 2002 — Bill James
Empowering Everyone
Your business. Your hardware. Your data. Your customers. Since 2002.
Change your communications from "Leave a message" to "Here's your answer." Desktop Hosting moves your business from the outer ring to the inner circle — known and trusted.
Regardless of how good each island is — Customer, Dealer, Distributor, Source — disconnected systems break trust. Every handoff is a chance to lose the customer.
WebClerk is the open source commerce system. Free. The Desktop Hosting book (Wiley, 2002) documented the architecture. The software delivers it.
Left: constrained by mutual availability, paper-based, slow. Right: available 24x7, dynamic data, transactions flow directly into the vendor's system. One business system for physical and virtual sales.
WebClerk or any compliant ERP/CRM connects Customer, Dealer, Distributor, and Source. Orders flow. Purchase orders confirm. Central resources and data updates support every node. The supply chain becomes a trust chain.
Quote becomes Order. Order creates PO. PO creates Sales Order. Transactions flow from the customer directly into the vendor's Sales Order system. No re-keying. No delays.
Secure account keys. Maps for exchanging data. Transfers via JSON. From a manufacturer's site, transactions flow directly to customer quotes. No manual catalog updates.
From manufacturer catalogs to customer-facing quotes, the data flows through. Your inventory is no longer invisible. Customers find what you have, at your price, from your store.
