EBizWarehouse, Inc. | |
Investment Objective |
Early Growth Funding Need $3-5M Leif Johnston Phone (540) 372-9280 x201 Leif@TechnologyCatalyst.com www.eBizWarehouse.com EBizWarehouse is focused on the back-end of the
eCommerce transaction. It is easy now to build an eCommerce site.
Significantly more difficult is the integration of those web-based orders
into the fulfillment and accounting capabilities of a company.
EBizWarehouse act as an eCommerce Back-end Application Service Provider. Many client-server applications can be had to
transform a traditional warehouse into an eCommerce backend. The software
hardware and integration efforts to make this happen will in most cases
range from $100-200K. As an online web based application providing
inventory management and order fulfillment, eBizWarehouse can accomplish
that transformation of a traditional warehouse to an eCommerce warehouse
with virtually no capital investment. Current pricing discussions have focused on
transaction fees for each order and to check inventory levels. On average,
these would net $1500 per company per month under the service. Initial
set-up fees, minimum transactions per month and term commitments bound the
revenue risk. |
Competitors |
Client Server competitors are common. Web based
competitive services are not currently available – as attested by
Microsoft Commerce Server partnering manager. Client Server migration
services such as Profit 21 and Great Plains accounting will draw some of
the business. |
Partner
Opportunities |
Currently in discussion with IBill.com,
Impressa, and
Competitive Software about partner revenue sharing programs. Actively
pursuing Microsoft Commerce Server Independent Software Vendor status. |
Service
Cost |
$1.50 per order processed and 10¢ per inventory
query with minimum commitment levels. This cost basis allows the service
to act purely as a business cost, significantly reducing capital
investment requirements. |
Other
Services |
Full staff management and accounting services could
be bundled with this service offering. |
