Users simply import their data and graphics and begin taking orders on the web. An experienced webmaster, Jason Bright, www.brightech.net, notes, "WebClerk is a straightforward and extensive way to get a commerce site up and running overnight." WebClerk offers customers numerous features, including technical libraries, interactive customer support and FAQs, forums, catalogs, order entry, order status and secure credit card approvals. The local webmaster controls the data available for WebClerk to display. Customers collaborate with WebClerk to access areas of interest as well as make online purchases. "As the Interactive division of a major advertising and marketing agency (Fallon McElligott), we look for solutions that give our clients a strong and secure presence on the web," says Lynn Heiberger, President of Revolv. "Most solutions with the capabilities we wanted cost at least $100,000. WebClerk helped us meet our objectives for less than $10,000." With WebClerk, small businesses have the same abilities as large businesses to leap into the future. "We're a two-person company making custom labels for home beer brewers. Changing our web catalog was expensive and beyond our technical ability," says Ernie Bishop of www.ToTheLabel.com. "With WebClerk we built our catalog in a few hours and are now able to update it in just minutes." WebClerk has EDI and data synchronization capabilities. When used with theCustomer, enterprise software, it becomes an integrated part of a total client/server solution running both the web and normal aspects of the business. A single user version of theCustomer comes bundled in WebClerk. Setup requires a connection to the Internet, router or modem and a fixed TCP/IP address. No other software is required for normal operation. To manage secure credit card approvals there is a $35 per month and $.25 per secure transaction service contract. WebClerk runs at a company's site or at a host service provider. WebClerk runs on either a Macintosh (32 Mbytes of RAM) or Windows NT/95 (64 Mbytes of RAM). James Integrated Technologies (www.jitcorp.com or www.webclerk.com) is located in St. Paul, MN.
