Based on Actinic’s widely used and award winning ecommerce platform, Actinic Enterprise runs on the fast and scaleable SQL-based local database which provides superior performance for a larger numbers of users and greatly increased throughput where the order volume is high. The ‘granular’ access control enables users roles and responsibilities to be set so that individuals are given access only to relevant areas or functions of the system.

Actinic Enterprise provides all the functionality required to efficiently process a high throughput of orders including an ‘order picker’ feature to speed up product picking in a warehouse. The mail order/telephone order (MOTO) screen enables the input of orders directly into Actinic and, combined with an Actinic Payments account, you can process credit card payments directly for those orders.

Actinic Business Plus provides integrations with Sage 50 Accounts software and Actinic EPOS for businesses with a physical retail shop. These facilities allow the transfer of orders and other data between the systems to assist in improving operation of your business.

The product catalogue is managed using the Explorer-style ‘drag and drop’ interface. Select from a number of product page layout options to display your products and create unlimited sections and subsections, product variations and components.

Actinic Enterprise provides complete flexibility to design your store in the way you want to. Select and amend from a range of pre-designed themes, mix and match elements from the design library and edit colour schemes, fonts and layouts to create your own unique, customised store. Preview your site in real-time as you go.

Actinic Enterprise provides all the advanced marketing and merchandising features necessary to assist in increasing sales. Use sophisticated merchandising techniques to increase sales including multiple use coupons, ‘buy one get one free’, discounts based on quantity or specific products ordered. Automatically generate Best Seller, New Product, Related Product and Also Bought lists to encourage additional purchases.
