Customer Service Portal

The customer service portal provides a gateway to all your orders from any e-commerce store. Having all your representatives manage orders in a custom portal reduces traffic to the shopping cart application, as well as reducing the complexity of managing roles and permissions for the shopping cart back-end.

The flexibility of a message queue centered order fulfillment center offers the ability to automatically route new orders, customer feedback messages, or return merchandise authorization (RMA) requests to any 3rd party system or to the internal ticket system allowing for human review.

The Magento connector is distributed as a separate file and is required to make the customer service portal talk directly to magento.
