How eForms work:
Once
you receive, or open the eForm from the desktop, fill in some
quantities and choose Submit. Our demonstration eOrder site will
process your form and create an order for the product you ordered.
The demonstration eForm provides the
necessary login information for you. In real applications, you can
choose which, if any, of the login information fields are pre-set and
which, if any, are shown.
When the user chooses the submit
button, the eForm will be sent to the contracting dealer eOrder web
site. Then the eForm processor takes over retrieving the items and
quantities ordered. The eForm processor also validates the login
information pre-defined on the eForm by the contracting dealer, or
entered by the user. |
Adding Additional Items to eForms:
If the user account is enabled to add
additional items (the contracting dealer controls this option), then
the user will be given the opportunity to add additional items to the
order before final submission. Here is the processing flow for
ordering from the eForm and adding additional items:
- User fills out the eForm.
- User submits eForm.
- User is validated by eForm processor.
- An open order is created using items and quantities from the eForm.
- The user is shown their order including totals and sales tax if
any.
- The user can then choose to submit 'as-is' or add additional items.
- Items are then added using the standard eOrder interface which
verifies and validates any additional items.
- User submits final order containing both eForm items and any
additional items.
Instead of allowing free form entry of
additional items on eForms, our process ensures all items are valid
and no manual intervention is necessary to correct bad item numbers.

eForms - The electronic version of the fax order
form!
An
eForm is the electronic equivalent of your existing fax order form.
eForms post directly to your DDMS order files without operator
intervention.
|
Why use eForms?
Specials,
calendar re-orders, and closeouts are just a few of the many possible
applications for eForms.
|
History
of eForms:
The
original purpose of eForms was to create a fast, simple, and
customized ordering method for large corporate clients and to limit
the item selection to approved product.
Our ultimate goal was to make it so easy to transact business
with your company that your competition could not even be considered.
|
Customize eForms to
meet your needs:
The
dealer determines logos, images, colors, format, and item selection on
eForms. You can extensively
customize eForms in-house using standard web page authoring tools such
as Microsoft Front Page or you could hire a professional web designer
to design the forms for you.
|
eForms use your item
lists:
You
do not have to input the items for eForms.
Our build program provides a ‘template’ starting point for
your eForm by using your DDMS item contract or laundry list database.
The build program can also merge the e-content from United
Stationers and/or S. P. Richards for consumer friendly product
descriptions. You could then
add or delete any exception items. Also,
the item list can be priced (using the DDMS customer parameters) or
un-priced.
|
Deliver eForms by
email!
You
send eForms via email to your customers. Your customers fill in the
eForm and submit them to YOUR in-house eOrder web site.
Your customer can re-use the same eForm many times.
|
Multiple delivery
methods:
Your
customer, or your sales reps, can save eForms to the computer desktop.
This places an icon directly on the user’s desktop.
Your customer can then double-click this icon and place their
order without using or requiring email.
