• Merchandise Manager:
• Allows retailer to control product displays according to customer buying patterns.

Both OpenSales AllCommerce and OpenSales Retailer support the Linux, UNIX, and Windows NT server platforms.

OpenSales’ software bypasses application servers, relying on database servers and Web servers.  Dynamic information is stored on the database server while static elements of pages are pre-generated and stored on each frontline Web server. Web servers can be added or removed as needed without blocking access to information on the site.
