<BODY bgColor=#ffffff><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Hi, I need a good suggestion for
an order management program for multiple ecommerce sites. I currently own 5
health food related drop ship web sites. Each one is built around a different
drop ship supplier so as to avoid the multiple shipping costs. They are also
using different ecommerce solutions. For example, I am using OS Commerce for
one. That site has 8000 products. Another site is using Yahoo store. That site
has 600+ products. Another site uses a system called Vermotion, with 5500
products. Another site uses ShopSite, with 400+ products, but will be increased
to 7000. The last site also has 400 products, but will be increased to 2000.
</FONT>
<P><FONT face=Verdana color=#000000 size=2>I have orders coming in from 4 of the
sites so far and I need a way to get all of the orders coming in to one place.
</FONT>
<P><FONT face=verdana color=#000000 size=2>I need something that is: </FONT>
<P><FONT face=verdana color=#000000 size=2>1) Web based Order Management(so it
can be accessed from anywhere). <BR>2) Can be easily configured to import the
orders from the various web sites. <BR>3) Needs to have the ability to import
the costs of the products and display the total profit (profit from product
& shipping) on the order summary page for each order. Because the costs from
the various suppliers change, it must allow for reconciliation of the actual
cost from the supplier. One idea would be to display the estimated profit in one
color and then when it is reconciled to show it in another color. <BR>4) Open
Source (so that additional modifications can be made in the future). <BR>5)
Provide accounting functions or the ability to easily transfer orders to
QuickBooks. </FONT>
<P><FONT face=verdana color=#000000 size=2>I realize that what I have described
(especially #3) may not exist, but this is what I need and I am willing to pay a
programmer to help me get to this point in the shortest amount of time possible.
I have looked at Interchange, which seems to be pretty robust as an order
management solution, but I'd need a programmer to get it working as described
above. </FONT>
<P><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Please let me know if you might be interested in a
project of this nature using Interchange and what you think it might take to
develop this in terms of time and money. Even a rough idea would be
helpful.</FONT>
<P><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Or, if what I have described is better suited for
some ERP or CRM solution (and not Interchange), please let me know. I just want
to find the system that will do what I've described and will be flexible enough
for additional modifications in the future, which is why I'm leaning toward Open
Source.</FONT>
<P><FONT face=verdana color=#000000 size=2>Any recommendations or suggestions
would be helpful... </FONT>
