How does Competitive Edge eStore differ from other Web based store fronts?
Competitive Edge eStore does not limit the number of items available for sale through the web. It provides all items sold at the store through Competitive Edge, for sale through the web. (Unless the items are flagged as non-web items.) No additional maintenance is required to support the web based eStore. The eStore module is automatically fed by Competitive Edge Point of Sale software. Most web based store fronts only accept a subset of items sold at the store. Most store front programs require additional maintenance to set up the items, pricing, promotions, etc., while Competitive Edge eStore is automatically updated from the data files of in-store system.

What are your customer expectations?
Your customers expect you to continue to find ways to make it easier for them to do business with you than to do business with your competition. Competitive Edge eStore allows you to exceed your customers’ expectations.
