To provide a custom portal to your site for users associated with a specific company or organization. This includes specific branding, contact information, price sheets, and billing units. Use companies when you want to provide a certain group of users with a similar shopping experience. |
Companies are organizations whose members submit jobs to or order products from an assigned Print Shop. For example, one company (associated group of users) may provide your organization with 50% of your revenue. In this case, you can assign a discounted price sheet commensurate with the volume of business. In order to assign a specific price list, you need to set the company up in MarketDirect StoreFront.
The Companies page is used to add, remove, or update information about companies whose members place orders through the system. You can assign the company to a storefront and customize the storefront (see Customizing Storefronts) so that a specific branding appears on the web site when a company user logs in, add contact information and assign employee users to default groups, price sheets, and billing units for their associated company. You can also edit and delete companies.
Note: The Auctioninc Config. Status column shows which companies are configured for Auctioninc (i.e., those marked with are not configured and those marked with are configured for Auctioninc).
Establishing companies allows you to:
● Assign companies to groups for the purpose of allowing access to specific pages.
● Assign users and cost centers to companies.
● Assign specific pricing and pricing sheets to companies.
● Run reports specifically by company.
