The Strategy
The complex requirements for the solution required multiple workshops, data gatherings and the creation of a detailed scope. The solution required creating a B2B online ordering system that integrated with MYOB Advanced.
The Challenge
The customer required the ability for non-logged in customers to be able to create an inquiry with pricing as POA (Posting on Application) due to restrictive sales legislation. This required customisation to prevent pricing display in the shopping cart and the initial customer email, but allowed Southern Cross Science to do a follow up quote.
The integration with MYOB Advanced utilised the Customers, Stock, Inventory, Categories, Brands, Pricing and Sales Order integration. The MYOB Advanced pricing integration required some further customisation to ensure it followed a particular hierarchy:
- Customer Specific Price – linked directly to the SKU & Customer ID
- Customer Price Class – linked directly to the SKU & Customer Role
- Base Price – default price of the SKU
The Results
The complex custom solution allowed SCS to manage complex pricing structures online and increase the website sales orders.
