Online Ordering Synchronised with Ostendo
We can offer a complete B2B or B2C Web Store solution to automatically synchronise your product and sales data with Ostendo Operations (ERP).
Payment should be made online to conform to contactless delivery or pickup protocols.
It is critical that contactless delivery or pickup instructions and messages are prominent to the customer while shopping online and at the checkout to clearly communicate how a safe delivery or pickup will be made. This reassures customers and allays concerns and builds trust.
Specific delivery instructions can be given by the customer which will flow seamlessly though to the delivery.
Some items are restricted and require validation of identity or age. This should be confirmed digitally as this can no longer be physically confirmed at the time of delivery.
