Officepoint has worked with its sister company Clic2 to develop a family of e-commerce solutions that position its members at the forefront of the industry. We view online cataloguing and order transacting as essential for driving end-user demand and meeting consumer expectation.
Why do you need e-commerce?
Already in the UK, 14% of total business purchases are transacted online, with 40% of SMEs using the internet as an ordering medium. By 2005 it is projected that total b2b (business to business) spend in the UK will reach over £150bn and we believe that it will be exceptionally difficult for any dealer to operate in the corporate or large SME market without the option of e-commerce.
At the Lisbon Summit, it was agreed that by 2005 ALL Government spending would be online by 2005. So, if you want to supply schools, hospitals, local authorities or government departments, e-commerce is a pre-requisite.
What e-commerce solution do you need?
Clic2office is Officepoint’s exclusive web store solution. Set up in minutes, you are able to personalise and self-maintain multiple catalogues for customers and browsers alike. As with all of our e-commerce solutions, it is web hosted so that neither you nor your customers need to install any software, all you need is a PC with internet access.

Clic2epro Within a larger, corporate business environment, the requirement is for a more complex system, which can manage budgetary controls, authorisation processes, contract ranges and pricing, management reporting and so on. This, along with many other features, is available within clic2epro, our e-procurement system, which can significantly reduce processing costs for you and your customer.

Clic2mail One of the greatest challenges with e-commerce is getting customers to your web store in the first place. Clic2mail allows you to create and send e-bulletins that contain embedded links to your web store, so that the recipient can see an offer that appeals, click on it and go straight from the e-bulletin to that specific product within your web store. What’s more, they can click on other links to further information about that product, your company profile, a product search engine and so on. You are able to track every click, enabling you to follow up interest that, with direct mail activity, you would never have been able to identify.

Clic2mail "Through Marketing" For the ultimate in delivering value, you cannot beat clic2mail Through Marketing. Officepoint works with manufacturers and suppliers to develop promotions, which we then mail on your behalf to your customers and prospects. Any responses revert to you and remain confidential. The manufacturer is provided with a statistical summary of the aggregated responses of all of the participating members, in return for which they pay all of the costs of the activity. You therefore get orders and enquiries delivered directly to you at no cost at all.
