The company announces Visual eBusiness Version 3.0, the latest release of its online solution designed to help businesses streamline processes, improve productivity and increase efficiencies through the use of Internet technologies.

Simultaneously, the company announces the release of Visual eBuesiness Now, a new application service provider (ASP) option that delivers speed, flexibility and affordability through Web hosting.

Version 3.0 supports B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) transactions for both make-to-stock and make-to-order environments. It allows companies to implement a complete online ordering solution in a matter of weeks, the company says.

Visual eBusiness operates as an extension of the company's enterprise and warehouse systems, allowing manufacturers and distributors to easily post catalogs and pricing information on the Web. The self-service features of the application allow customers and distribution partners to view pricing, order status, product features and product availability.

With the opportunity to implement the application either through an integrated module within the Visual product software suite or via the company's new application service provider (ASP) option, Visual eBusiness NOW, manufacturers and distributors can easily get started with their e-business initiatives.

The company is offering both a Foundation and an Extended Edition option for Visual eBusiness version 3.0. The Foundation module is included with core functionality in the Visual Enterprise product suite. This module provides Visual users with the essential features to quickly set up storefronts and allow their customers to access product listings by category, product searches, product pricing, detailed parts specifications, and part availability as well as lists of substitute and cross-selling items.

With Visual eBusiness Now the company is trying to make it easy for companies to quickly and effectively build a Web presence. The hosted online solution is said to implement quickly and integrates with back-office data, ensuring that information is accurate and that order processing time is minimal. Fast deployment, within a few weeks, is said to be a cost-effective advantage for the customer.
