Purchasing Experience K-Rise Systems’ EASYCommerce is the value-added ecommerce solution that promotes the development of
your organization and brand within the global business environment. Featuring both B2B and B2C
capabilities, EASYCommerce allows you to interact and engage with your customers and suppliers –
anywhere, anytime.
“EASYCommerce enabled us to
produce a web ordering system that
operated on the same business logic
as our E1 System while allowing us
the flexibility to tailor it to the specific
user interface needs of our
customers,” says Larry Estes,
Information Technology at Crown
Packaging Corporation.
Crown Packaging Corporation
implemented both standard and
custom features of K-Rise Systems’
EASYCommerce, integrated fully and
in real time with JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne, according to its
specific business rules and needs. The
implementation allowed for seamless
interaction with current systems,
without disruption to the user
experience.
The ecommerce application includes
extensive administrative capabilities,
allowing for complete management of
one or multiple online storefronts.
Among these capabilities include
customer account management via an
intuitive administrative dashboard.
The administrative dashboard includes
import capabilities of customer
information from JD Edwards or any
ERP and data source, streamlining
customer account setup and
maintenance.
Other administrative features included
with EASYCommerce are site
management and configuration
settings. Settings can be configured to
suit site administrators and certain
authority levels; restrictive settings
can be implemented to limit visibility
of specific screens based on
predetermined criteria as well.
Further, users with proper authority
can schedule downtime maintenance
and draft messages to external users
attempting to visit the ecommerce site.
Along with site management and
maintenance, administration also has
the ability to manage customer orders
from a central location, directly within
the application. Orders can be
reviewed that contain one or multiple
errors, resolved using the correct
information, and then resubmitted for
processing. Orders that have been
resolved or updated within
EASYCommerce automatically
update JD Edwards or any ERP or
data source. EASYCommerce
submits data in real time to all
integrated data sources, keeping
administrators current on the latest
developments within the ecommerce
site.

EASYCommerce includes quote
creation capabilities in addition to
traditional ordering (via credit card,
ACH, and PayPal, for example).
Quotes and estimates for
services, maintenance, and
premium products are
generated within the
ecommerce application to
be saved for completion at
a later time or submitted
immediately. Filtering
capabilities allow for
quotes to be searched for
and copied when similar
orders require estimates.
The ecommerce application
offers a variety of
functionality to both
administrative and
marketing users alike,
offering comprehensive
internal features necessary
to develop a value-added,
online shopping experience
for customers. Marketing
has the ability to add new
products and product
categories to the web store
and manage associating
content, including pricing,
directly from the
application. Product
numbers can be created or
imported from JD Edwards
or any data source, and any
updates made are sent, real-
time, to each data source
integrated with the
ecommerce site.
Schematic ordering for
both new and existing
products is available for
implementation to be
managed internally as well.
This type of ordering
eliminates the need for
customers to search for
individual components and
parts of larger products when
repurchasing. Marketing can delegate
products that benefit from schematic
ordering and oversee the
implementation of this service,
incorporating a variety of features,
such as clickable hot spots within
images and specification sheets.
Marketing can also associate
promotions and special
offers associated with any
of the products offered
within the
EASYCommerce
ecommerce site. Incentives
can be utilized to appeal to
specific consumer groups
and buying behaviors, such
as offering specific
promotions to qualified
target markets and
purchasing groups. New
promotions can be created
easily and older promotions
can be searched for and
reinstated as necessary.
Email campaigns
associated with promotions
can be managed within the
application as well.
EASYCommerce is
capable of integrating with
Google Analytics to track
campaigns and campaign
history, as well as a variety
of key performance
indicators associated with
the ecommerce site.
Along with promotion
management and
execution,
EASYCommerce includes
comprehensive content
management capabilities,
allowing marketing full
control of messaging
throughout the ecommerce
site. Messaging can also be
translated, appropriately,
for international visitors via
the language center of
EASYCommerce.
Content management
capabilities within
EASYCommerce include managing
rise 8
home page content and sliders to
appeal to differing purchasing
behaviors amongst each target market.
Home page sliders include HTML
editing capabilities allowing internal
users to update and add new content
easily and quickly. These home page
sliders can be adjusted for special
promotions or featured products to
increase traffic and conversion rates.
In an effort to increase varying KPIs,
such as site traffic and conversion
rates, EASYCommerce features SEO
functionality designed to improve the
visibility of ecommerce products
across each search engine. Within
EASYCommerce, internal users can
associate relevant keywords or tags
with each product and monitor the
performance of a product’s visibility
via the SEO management dashboard.
Other SEO management tools
included with EASYCommerce allow
internal users to create and edit
friendly URLs for customers to share
across social networks, without having
to use lengthy web addresses.
Marketing has the ability to integrate
one or multiple ecommerce sites with
each social media platform that is
currently being utilized. Marketing
can also add an unlimited number of
social media links and feeds to deliver
real-time updates from social accounts
directly within the online web store.
Multiple networking sites are easily
managed through the social media
settings within EASYCommerce and
can help to improve storefront
visibility online as well as assist with
SEO efforts. Leveraging social media
through EASYCommerce can help to
spread the word about products and
generate ecommerce sales as a result.
EASYCommerce integrates with
Google Analytics to allow for
additional tracking of each KPI that is
measured against the ecommerce site.
EASYCommerce also features
reporting capabilities directly within
the application. Marketing can track
promotional campaigns and generate
reports to analyze usage of a particular
coupon or discount. EASYCommerce
includes built-in tracking functionality
to monitor each promotion and the
number of times customers apply
promo codes to their purchases.
Along with these capabilities include
order report generation to track
purchasing conducted through the web
store. This information is delivered in
real time to allow internal users to
analyze recent orders processed
through the site. Data from both sales
by item and varying ecommerce
accounts can be generated into
graphical reports to be distributed
amongst teams internally as well.
EASYCommerce is an enterprise-class
B2B/B2C application fully compatible
with World, EnterpriseOne, and
iSeries. Implemented as a connector,
EASYCommerce works seamlessly
with your current online catalog or
web store, giving you live data inside
and outside of JD Edwards or any
data source. For more information on
this application and other products
