I asked about customer tracking and bar code reading because I have an outstanding request for that right now, from someone I know personally-- a guy who has a good bricks-and-mortar store now, combined with a poorly-performing shopping cart. He sees online sales as his only avenue towards growth, because although the walk-in trade is lucrative, it's been static for several years now. He wants a soup-to-nuts system, that builds an inventory database with a bar code reader, that integrates with a shopping cart, that provides him with point and click customer tracking and report writing.....in order to identify his best customers, best performing products, etc. The money he is (almost) prepared to spend is amazing. I don't know enough to supply him with what he needs just yet. But it makes me think this is a lucrative niche that needs filling. -- /* Colin (Sandy) Pittendrigh >--oO0> */ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
