Intersell adds to online tool for resellers

Designed to work in conjunction with Intersell’s Techlink4u automated ecommerce solution, QuoteBuilder is delivered as a fully hosted online service.

A three month beta program, involving 35 Australia resellers has just been completed.

Wayne Troy, general manager at Intersell said QuoteBuilder was specifically developed for resellers.

“Our beta testers found that our solution lets them turn around quotes in minutes rather than hours. The client receiving the quote can then simply click a button on the quote, and instantly jump to a shopping cart to pay for the products. Pricing is handled automatically, and synchronised daily they can easily avoid pricing mistakes that could hurt your bottom line,” he said.

According to Troy QuoteBuilder extends the functionality of Techlink4u by fully automating the process of creating professional product and service quotations for the reseller.

Each quote generated by QuoteBuilder includes a graphical button for the client to click when they wish to purchase the items in the quote. Clients that click the purchase button are automatically returned to the reseller’s Techlink4u shopping website, and presented with a shopping cart populated to match the items and pricing in the quote. This allows the transaction to be easily completed, enormously simplifying and speeding up the sales process for the technology reseller.

Techlink4u is a service that allows resellers to quickly open an online shopping site. In partnership with Ingram Micro, the Techlink4u service offers online store which is automatically updated with product information.

“Resellers can choose from more than 25,000 products distributed by Ingram Micro when they populate their online store. Product photos, descriptions, inventory levels and pricing are synchronised automatically on a daily basis,” he said.

As resellers face constantly shrinking margins, the last thing they need is a website that is underperforming, he said.
