- Professionals Only Ecommerce Site
- Ecommerce website selling branded beauty products to licensed beauticians, aestheticians, and spas.
- This means new users must upload a copy of there beauty license and once we review and approve the account, the user will be notified by email that their account has been approved and is activated. Examples of similar concept sites which exist like this are: https://www.ecscottgroup.com/ (we would like a very similar structure for the site but a more chic/sleek design – we like the design for https://www.sherberandrad.com/ but it can be of different style but as long as it is very attention grabbing. We do not want something very common and generic) – In addition to EC SCOTT, a less attractive version would be https://www.cosmoprofbeauty.com/
- There needs to be different price levels and user categories. User category A may see price level 1 and user category B may see price level 2 etc… When a user is not signed in, they will only see the MSRP Retail Price and not the actual discounted sales price.
- Our ERP for order processing and warehousing is Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 which is basically running on SQL tables. It would be nice but not necessary if there was a way to push confirmed order data into our ERP. However, at the minimum we would like real time order data sent by Excel or CSV or something like that.
- We would like to sync the inventory and availability with our Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP in realtime or at the very least every few hours. We can export an inventory file with qtys available by item code to an ftp site at any interval from every few minutes or hours etc…
- In addition to product page, we also need a brand page which talks about the brand and showcases products from that brand such as: https://www.sephora.com/brand/dior?icid2=product_link_brand
- Full Retail Ecommerce Site
- This is a full ecommerce retail site open for anyone to buy and we would like to model all the functionality after Sephora.com but with a very cool design. It will basically be like the professional site but with many more brands and products listed.
- Features should include everything on sites like Sephora.com, Beautybay.com, and Beautylish.com. If the community section requires a huge amount of work, we can live without that and add it in the future if necessary. Also looking to do this by customizing an existing shopify theme such as Lezada, Beautica, or Avone etc…
- Regarding order processing, inventory syncing – this would be the same as the Professionals Only site.
- Wholesale B2B Site
- This site will be the wholesale B2B site which new accounts will have to apply first to open an account before they can purchase anything. They will fill out an online account application form and upload any necessary documents and upon our approval, the account will be active.
- Payment terms for each account may vary but payment will most likely not be taken over the web. We are looking into Shopifyplus service and if that is something that is feasible, then we will consider it but otherwise, we will only accept payment via check, wire transfer, or even if by credit card, it will not be processed through the site.
- The account section for each user will contain details about their account balance, payments, statements, payment terms, credit limit, etc.. They will be able to view their upcoming invoice due dates and other accounting information. The data for all the accounting will be pushed from our SQL tables behind MS Dyanmics GP (our ERP).
- The user should also have a reports section that gives them information like top items purchased. Percentage of buying by category. And other metrics we can think of in the future.
- They will also get alerts and updates on the website and via email regarding what stage their order is in. There can be several stages such as order sent for picking, order packed, order shipped etc… They should get their tracking numbers when we update the system with such information.
