Definitely put down online sales because it's more general, so it sounds like you have more experience with selling different products and different customers.  You can put down E-bay as a place you have sold on, or any other places.

1. Satisfy the customer’s real needs not wants\n– For effective supply chain management, the real customers’\nneeds must be satisfied, not their wants.\n2. Understand how the real world works\n- The more quickly information moves, the more value it has.\nThe same fact is true for supply chain management.\n- Being able to execute quickly can remove the need to\nforecast.\n- Material will expand to fill the space provided.\n3. Have a complete integrated system\n– A complete system includes both planning and execution\nmanagement.\n– Plan will change but to fail to plan in planning to fail.\n– Changes and variability are expected events. The more\nquickly an enterprise can react, the less cost is incurred by the\noperation.\n– System effectiveness is inversely proportional to the\ncomplexity.\n4. Accurate data\n- Without accurate data, the best hardware and software will be\nnothing but a big money pit and provide no return on\ninvestment.\n5. Manage cycle time\n– Cycle time is the amount of time that elapses between material\nentering and exiting a production facility.\n– Do not release orders to the floor unless all material and capacity is\navailable to run it.\n6. Eliminate nonvalue-added activity\n- It is not say that every implementation should embrace “industry\nbest practices” if these processes do not help the enterprise achieve\nits goals.\n- Keep implementation costs down rather than driving higher return\non investment.\n- Eliminating nonvalue-added activity means that one shouldn’t\nautomate bad process.\n7. Fully qualified People\n- What business are they themselves in?\n- Where does their work fit into the total business?\n- Who are your customers? What do your customers need?\n- Who are your suppliers? What are their problems?\n- What are their tools (system, data, machinery)? How\nwell do they use them?\n- Who is on their team?\n- Who are not yet fully qualified?\n\nUse the link. its a good reference. i thank you for egging me to get this informative link (i am a SCM student myself :P)

Information is the backbone of all businesses.  If it is not organized in the optimum format, the business will not do well.  If the business objective is to attract new customers, their systems will have to process new customers quickly to seem more efficient than the competition.

u should be knowing porter's value chain model. what u need to do is draw the value chain of your partners (suppliers, distributors....) both on the front and back end. so u get the whole supply chian. u have many It models to make the process easy. having done this would help u to identify to improve efficiancies in ur system so that would have a positive effect on clients. sometime u can identift modifications of improvements in ur partenrs system that leadt to ur efficiences. this is nthing but copretion among channel systems\n\nbut if u r speaking from other point of view...i.e for example u have two distribution channels for ur product say through internet and through direct selling. most of the times u have conflicts between them. so u nee to avoid channel conflicts and build coperation among them. for example Avon had sales ppl. they wanted these sales reps to suggest their website. but they never did this becoz they knew that they would be loosing te commission. so this is one example o hw conflicts arise.\n\ni will get to u if i find some material on this

Here are the main components of an ecommerce site or selling products in an online store:\n\n1. Website - Your online connection to your prospects and customers. If it does not look like a professional, legitimate business - NO ONE WILL ORDER ANYTHING - no matter how great the products you have. If you are serious about doing business on the web, either go back to school and learn html, java, cgi, etc., or hire a professional to design your site. \n\n2. Merchant account - Bank authorized account which allows you to accept major credit cards, electronic checks, etc. Many banks will not give you a merchant account if you do business on the Internet because they may classify it as high risk. Be careful when looking for a merchant account provider! Watch out for hidden fees, high setup fees, and other unscrupulous business practices. \n\n3. Payment Transaction Software - Software which actually processes customer order information, address, credit card number, etc. The data is sent to a credit card authorization network which verifies that the credit card is valid and verifies that the shipping address matches the billing address. A possible warning sign that the card has been stolen is that the billing and shipping addresses do not match. \n\n4. Secure Server Connection - https:// - Link to a special computer which encrypts confidential ordering data for customer protection. You know you are on a secure server when the URL in your browser says "https://". The "s" stands for "secure." If ordering information is not sent via a secure server it can be intercepted by computer hackers. \n\n5. Shopping cart - Software which allows you to accept product orders for multiple products from your website. This software automatically calculates and totals orders for your customers. Some setup must be done in the html code of your website, and the shopping cart software must be installed on the server which hosts your site or on the secure server which accepts sensitive ordering information.

Not sure what your looking for but I think the source provide the information you need.\n\nCriteria for selecting methods of implementation of ERP systems. \n\nAfter identify business goal key operational, functional, and control aspects of the business that need to be addressed and future plans and need ,  what ERP best meets these needs.\n\npossible goals:\nimproved efficiency of data collection \nimproved reporting \nincreased functionality, and \nincreased coordination and organizational alignment.\n \n\nWhat functional areas are to be included? \n\nEvaluate the multitude of options at the basic level of functionality. One of the simplest ways to begin evaluating and comparing the functionality and tools that the business needs against the multitude of ERP systems available is to create a spreadsheet with the functional needs across the columns and the packages down the rows. Then where the packages have the function simply put an “X” in the cell. The most critical functional needs can be high-lighted; the “nice to haves” another color, the “wish list” items still another. A visual review can then be done to determine which alternatives to review in-depth. \n\nIn step six the business establishes specific criteria to be satisfied, answered, or identified as “customized” functionality to be included in an on-site presentation. The on-site visits by resellers provide the company and the vendor the opportunity to demonstrate via a customized presentation and other inquiry processes what the product and vendor team can do. The catch is to make sure they use the real system and its functionality. \n\nThe reliability, experience, and expertise of the softwarre vendor support team will be facilitating the implementation, training and maintenance of the system. If the system being selected requires third-party add-ons, then the experience of the software vendor and consultants with the third party software and any interfaces between the software. \n\nthe cost, \nfunctionality,

I would say the biggest disadvantage of an e-business is the lack of product-in-hand experience.  Because you cannot physically present the product to the customer, you have to prove its value through detailed descriptions and photos or fancy marketing.  And because the customer doesn't actually see the real product until after he's paid for it, you run a higher risk of the item being returned or complained about.\n\nHowever, if you are offering services rather than manufactured products, I really don't see the disadvantages except for competition and getting lost among all the web sites.

depends on the company, and it depends on how important they feel eCommerce is in their growth strategy.  If they are not an 'e' company, they're less likely to be responsive.  You also have to understand that most big companies get an ENORMOUS amount of email from people and can't answer everything.

That's what Dell Computer did and now the company is suffering.  The marketplace changes constantly.  People like to talk to people about their purchases.  That is not likely to change.
