What exactly will the software do?

I am aware that web 2.0 allows the user to create an environment where multiple users are enabled to navigate the site and leave their own mark . SO does this software enable you to make your online store able to be advertised on social networking sites by allowing the customers to digg it and share the content ??

The software enables you to create your own online store, you can use the built in Web 2.0 features to promote your store and your products.

Temi,

I am interested. So how to go about it?

this is by no means a dig at BC or anything at all (i don't really have any impressions from it), its more like a rant at the state e-commerce in general

i have had what you'd call 'fair' experience with various cart engines, free and not-that-free. the truth of the matter is: anyone with half a clue can write a store that looks the part, has all the features and serves the purpose of allowing users to find and buy the products on sale.

where it really starts to make a difference is the back end / cms, in particular, stock and order management. the busier the store is, the more orders, the more work it becomes to ship your daily batch and re-order / manage products... i have found things like cubecart or oscommerce to be totally impractical for any site getting over 20-30 orders per day.

anyway - with that in mind, is there a demo of the bosscart backend? in particular, i am interested in things like:

ability to flat view manage / ajax expand orders from one page (not having to click in and out)
ability to easily look at your pending orders with all items in stock and a list of all the stock you can take out of the warehouse and pack
ability to match SKU/EAN scans of items your packers have taken out against the ones really on order (to avoid sending wrong sizes etc)
ability to flag orders that are not in stock at present or on backorder
ability to batch assign shipping consignment ids (for example, parcel force interfaces)
ability to batch print invoice/address info and possibly barcode generator
ability to manage brands, their order lead times and stock re-order batches, creation of stock re-order pdf manifests
etc etc - i can continue here for hours, it is a sore subject as i waste so much time writing all of the above and would have preferred focusing my attentions on end-user matters or driving traffic...

it isn't until you find all your time dwindling away for such trivial things that you find yourself sitting back and re-evaluating what needs your e-commerce software really has. i'd love to find JUST ONE out-of-the-box solution that can stand out from the crowd in the above regards...

so where is that bosscart demo i can look at
