Do these five things and expect to sell more to small business retailers:
- Provide electronic invoices to an acceptable EDI standard.
- Provide an electronic version of your stock file.
- Provide an electronic version of catalogue data for seasonal catalogues.
- Handle electronic orders.
- Receive and manage an electronic flow of sales data to improve just in time supply models.
