Hi everyone, I have been contacted to do some work to allow a small retail
company to be able enter products in for customers as the salesperson is
helping the customer along with some install information for this customer.
Then if the customer would like a quote, the salesperson can generate a
quote by pooling the prices from the accounting system. Then if the customer
would like to order, the salesperson can click a button to place that order
and commit the parts in inventory to that order, or generate a PO for the
appropriate vendor of that part.
Currently this business is using Cougar Mountain, of which I know nothing.
They said they would like to change systems b/c Cougar Mtn, does not keep
track of Shipping, Receiving, and Backorders.
So my questions are:
1) what Accounting/Inventory System do you recommend
2) do I need to develop my own solution for this business in order to
accomplish what they want or does MS CRM do all of that ?
3) if I do need to do it myself, can I interface with MS CRM and how? And
would you recommend .NET Remoting or pure Web Services?
Thanks
Rog
