ChannelNet software allows channel partners to add an automated, consultative
sales process to their websites. It includes the "Assess,"
"Build" and "Promote" modules, designed to custom guide a
potential buyer from product introduction to purchase.combining the vendors’
catalog and user information with a logic-based decision tree, the Assess module
determines customer preferences, makes product recommendations; the Build
function assembles a suite of products and services specific to the customer’s
needs. The Promote module delivers corporate and channel-supported e-offers,
rebates and incentives. Channel members can add vendor information and the
Assess/Build/Promote process to their own websites with a minimum of technical
knowledge, the company says.
