Hello and glad to be part of SAGE City!
I am new to a relatively small company that is running SAGE 100, and the company has been trying to launch an eBusiness site for B2B orders for quite some time. We have been trying to use the SAGE eBusiness module but have run into numerous road blocks - ~30 second search speeds, trouble generating automatic emails, troubles with generating sales orders, etc.
Our major concern at this point is the search speed, as we are troubleshooting the other problems with some success. It appears as if the problem with search speeds stems from the fact that we have ~28,000 items within SAGE and the eBusiness search function searches through ALL items, not just internet enabled items. Searches within categories do not take as long, but are still running ~8-10 seconds, which is essentially not functional from a customer perspective. Does anyone have experiences with optimizing the eBusiness search function that they would like to share?
I was told by a very helpful SAGE tech that the eBusiness module has effectively not been updated in a number of years because it was not widely adopted and that most SAGE customers that have eBusiness sites use third party options for both the eBusiness platform and for integration into SAGE.
Does anybody have any experience with successfully using the eBusiness module within SAGE to run an eBusiness site?
Otherwise, does anybody have experience with using third party platforms for an eBusiness site and recommendation for who to use to integrate the eBusiness platform with SAGE?
We are somewhat at a loss here and figure that this has been successfully pulled off by a SAGE customer. Recommendations for third parties would be GREATLY appreciated if it is determined that using the eBusiness module within SAGE is simply not feasible.
Thank you so much for reading and hopefully there are some with far more experience than I who are willing to share.
