Ecommerce Optimization Is Crucial To Remain Competitive
To remain competitive, dealers must adopt new technologies that will help maintain those important relationships, but also bring the next generation of buyers into the fold.
Today, the ability to offer products and services online and work remotely is vital to remain competitive. Red Falcon gives you the tools to run your business from a brick-and-mortar or from home. It includes a point-of-sale system, integrates with major wholesalers and vendors, provides a streamlined back-office solution, and supports all versions of QuickBooks®.
Red Falcon’s Outpost design tools contain out-of-the-box templates you can use to easily design your own modern ecommerce website that promotes your brand and provides a platform for your customers to manage their purchases.
Upload your own logos or design a microsite with your customers’ logos. Promote special offers and add messages, contract items, slide shows from your first-call vendor, PDFs of rebates, images, and custom products.
Tired of leaving ecommerce money on the table?
An integration with QuickBooks® accounting software ties your ecommerce, retail orders, inventory, and financials together directly in Red Falcon so there’s no switching between programs! Red Falcon and QuickBooks sync throughout the day so you can access real-time data on inventory levels of stocked items, revenue, and taxes.
As orders are placed on your site, they travel directly through QuickBooks, automatically updating inventory levels and revenue and tax information. QuickBooks also allows you to customize professional-looking invoices and email them directly from your system. Speedy invoicing combined with a professional look enhances a customer’s experience and gets you paid faster.
Wasting time with disconnected software systems?
We offer integrations with all major office product wholesalers, including S.P. Richards™ and Essendent™.
Flexible enough to accommodate any vendor you do business with, using our ERP you can automate your ordering process, from item file updates to purchasing and invoicing.
Spending too much time creating vendor orders?

Manager and user settings allow you to limit access and require approval for certain activities, such as a price change. Reporting capabilities let you run reports directly from the app without having to log in to your main Red Falcon account.
Setting pricing through a simple checklist is fast and uncomplicated.
The Pricing Group feature allows for an “off-the-shelf” pricing structure so you don’t have to spend time on pricing items, which saves on operational costs. Storefront, pricing, and options can be changed for each Price Group.
Everything in a Price Group is designed to create a satisfactory shopping experience. The contracted price for any individual customer or group supersedes all other pricing, so you don’t have to verify every order for accuracy.
Wasting time on pricing rules?

Busy sales leads and teams can visualize key metrics, analyze their activities and tasks and be proactively directed to actionable insights, improving their performance.
Sales leaders often find it extremely difficult to manage their sales teams and uncover critical trends without having to use multiple solutions, costing them time and money. Activity dashboards give you the insights you need to create a top-performing sales team.
