Products: eVendorPortal         

The eVendorPortal combined with 3dCart, one of the leading internet shopping carts delivers an "Amazon-like" shopping experience for patients. The integrated system includes an order management system for multiple dropshippers with real-time integration with 3dCart. The order management component provides a secure web-based screen for vendors and dropshippers to receive orders, update orders status and enter shipping information. As this occurs, 3dCart is updated in real time and patients receive real time configurable emails updating them on status. If you have ordered from Amazon, you understand the power of this efficiency and communications.

 

Integration Points

Internet Shopping Cart:: The eVendorPortal uses the robust 3dCart API to retrieve orders from the 3dCart order database, sort them into the appropriate orders for each drop shipper, deliver them to the secure user interface, allow drop shippers to enter shipping date and tracking numbers and update the 3dCart order status, all in near real time. The eVendorPortal uses an innovative caching process to ensure consistent performance, yet proides an intuitive and self evident user interface for drop shippers. Small drop shippers use the eVendorPortal as an order management system as it delivers the order details to the user interface with the full patient information for shipping or contact if necessary.

 

Business Process

From the 3dCart shopping cart, patients can purchase cash-based medications, nutritional supplements and lab tests all without using staff to take the orders and process credit cards. The cart supports multiple drop shippers so accommodating multiple suppliers is easy to do with the 3dcart and eVendorPortal integrated soluiton. The integration with the eVendorPortal provides the distributors and drop shippers with an order management application that shows them the order details and provides an input area for the tracking number. Once the vendor submits the tracking information, the order status is updated in 3dCart in real time and the patient is notified of the change in status via email. This approach creates the Amazon-like shopping experience for patients.

Benefits

Patients benefit from the ease and convenience of 24x7 availaility fo the shopping cart and for most of the target population, this is a comfortable way of doing things. For the not so tech savvy, the physician staff can use the shopping cart to place the orders for the patients. The Practice benefits from not having to provide order taking and processing staff. In a moderate volume practice, this can easily require 1 full time person to take, process and manage the incoming orders.
