BlueBox Web Stores with Responsive Design

Bluebox includes a nifty backoffice web-store publishing engine which allows you to split your inventory catalogue between different key customers and then give them access to their own private web ordering micro-site.

These micro-sites work out-the-box with BlueBox and are hosted on the same system/server as the backoffice system.

These sites are mobile-responsive, meaning that they re-shape themselves to fit mobile devices. They can also very easily be wrapped into mobile apps for all platforms, something we do via PhoneGap.

Each micro-site can have it's own web-address, or can be accessed via a unique key for security reasons. Alternatively you can place all your micro-sites on a front page menu and have your customers choose which site to access.

Link each site to a backoffice customer and you'll find that the system automatically creates the Sales Orders for you, handles the stock allocation and procurement and finishes off the process by despatching and invoicing the customer.

This accommodates 2 models - where the 'house account' pays for all the orders via our backoffice accounts system, or where the shopper pays via card at time of purchase. Using these 2 models we are able to provide the infrastructure for centralised headoffice ordering schemes where branches order their items individually but the bill is sent to headoffice, or where the bill is sent to the branch, or where the branch pays with a card at the time of purchase.
