“Midpoint” doesn’t have an “E” in it, but several of our services do.

 

E-commerce and E-Business are often confused.  They do have distinctions, but they both also have a lot in common. How do they differ?  How are they the same? Both use the Internet and varied computer technologies for the transfer of information.  But most importantly – from our point of view – both are key strengths at Midpoint National.

E-commerce Solutions

Midpoint’s E-commerce services typically refer to complete transactions conducted over the Internet – usually in one web visit.  An “E-catalog” is a prime example.  It presents all the information a shopper needs to make a buying decision.    Site navigation is well planned and easy to follow.  With multiple items being offered, there is probably an electronic shopping cart as part of the site.  For just a few items being offered there may be just a simple order form. But in all cases, Midpoint’s E-commerce solutions facilitate a complete transaction.  From the placement of the order, the processing of the customer’s credit cards, to warehousing and shipping the items, Midpoint can help you be a player in E-commerce.

 

Our E-commerce solutions are comprehensive. If you need a website, we can create a professional E-commerce site for you.  It will have shopping cart ordering functionality that will link seamlessly with Midpoint’s order fulfillment systems.  As orders are received we will pick, pack and ship the merchandise ordered, process credit cards for you – automatically depositing the funds in your bank – and send an email order confirmation to your customer. If the merchandise is later returned we’ll handle that for you too, performing all functions in reverse.

 

But if you already have a website we can interface with it, providing the shopping cart, credit card processing, and order fulfillment services for you.  We will simply add these E-commerce features to what you already have. In whatever way you might choose to utilize Midpoint National’s varied E-commerce capabilities, your solution will be tailored to your needs and to your opportunities to drive new revenue. 

E-business solutions

 E-business may or may not involve a complete transaction, although EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a Business-to Business application that typically does.  EDI involves computer-to-computer transactions between two major trading partners. If you want to do business with large firms like Wal-mart, JCPenney, Barnes and Noble or other big retail chains, EDI will probably be a necessity.  Midpoint can provide you with full EDI capability, including ASN (Advance Shipping Notices).  ASN is often not part of EDI capabilities; yet it’s often a requirement by the big buyers if you’re going to go after their business. Of course we can also do invoicing, A/R management and collection, with or without EDI.  In sum, we’ve got you covered in these vital E-business areas. 

 

Yet, as important as B2B order processing is, it’s only part of Midpoint’s B2B capabilities.  Another significant E-business application at Midpoint is our Interactive Marketing Portal.  It’s another way of trading information via the web – in this case primarily with members of your sales force or dealer network.  Midpoint can create and manage a private Intranet portal that will be customized to fit your organizational structure and marketing objectives.  It will be state-of-the art.  It will help your sales representatives and dealers do things they haven’t been able to do before.
