CARY, N.C. - Filling out a sales order on the Web for complicated goods, such as network equipment, is fraught with peril because users can easily botch part numbers or make configuration mistakes.
But a new Web server tool called eMechanix from Newtonian Software promises to prevent those types of problems. The eMechanix software monitors the sales-order process and automatically checks entries against back-end databases or enterprise resource management systems. The software, typically known as a "configurator," can tell if a product is in stock or if the user has incorrectly entered a product number, configuration or price.
According to Newtonian Software CEO Chaz Henry, eMechanix works by letting users state the purchases they want to make and then guiding them toward those types of items.
Newtonian expects to have the Web configurator out this month, priced at about $50,000.
