The PDG web store engines allow you complete flexibility and creative control over your web store. With flexibility often comes complexity though. Not with PDG! PDG's simple web-based interface and free customizable 'skins' allow you to set up a fully functional and attractive, custom-looking web store in literally a matter of hours. Take a look at the simple demo web store set up by one of our retailers. That store took only a few hours to set up from start to finish, and that included creating the products!

You can start out with a basic webstore, populated with your RTS-Advantage inventory, in hours. If and when you're ready to expand on the basic design you can have the experts at PDG do the customizations, or use a local web developer or your in-house staff. PDG's intuitive web store design capabilities are practically endless, and anyone with basic website building skills can turn your webstore into a real customer magnet.

And PDGs flexibility doesn't end at just look and feel. If you have unique requirements for the data that appears on the website, how the customer creates an order, or how the orders are recorded for passage to RTS-Advantage, it's no problem. Most every business has some unique needs, minor or major, and both PDG and the Web Commerce module have been designed with that in mind.

If you already have a web store you've made a significant investment that you don't want to lose. On the other hand, you're losing money every day if you have data entry personnel manually adding items to your site and keying web orders into RTS-Advantage. No problem -- you don't have to lose your investment to take advantage of Web Commerce automation. PDG routinely adapts existing web stores to use their engine. Usually it's a simple process to make the conversion, and PDG (or your own developer) can effect the switch with little trouble. That's just how flexible PDG's engine is -- it can power your existing website, on your chosen web server, often with some relatively simple tweaking. Call PDG and discuss it with them -- they've got experts on staff who can analyze the conversion for you.

Want to see a sample store? One of our retailers has created a very basic web store that only took a few hours to create, including adding the items! It has only a few items, but you can visit that site to get a feel for what kind of results you can get with very little work.

PDG has the ability to calculate real time shipping charges for UPS, DHL and USPS. And this can go beyond mere freight calculation -- UPS, for instance, can integrate to the point that shipping documents are automatically generated and customers can track packages.

Automated shipping handling is so powerful you may even consider moving your in-house order entry to the web!

PDG provides the flexibility to accept standard payment options as well as allowing you to accept company purchase orders for select customers or giving your customers the option to phone or fax in credit card data after placing an order. PDG supports a wide array of online payment authorization services; contact them directly to discuss which will work best for you.
