ZaneRay began in 1994 providing sales force automation and supply chain management solutions to the Outdoor industry. These same solutions are still in operation today for many of our clients, attesting to the base technology and ZaneRays approach to providing robust and scalable solutions that stand the test of time.

 
Electronic Order Forms (EOF)

ZaneRay started with the concept of an Electronic Order Form (EOF) and along with this product, naturally migrated to creating dealer and sales force extranets. Over a decade later, ZaneRay continues to foster seamless order management for most of the same clients with robust and smart EOF programs that allow a sales force to place large pre-season orders within seconds of completing the process with their customer.

Nowadays, the EOF idea is widely copied in the specialty outdoor industry. However, with 15 years of experience developing "EOF"s and online systems, it's probably fair to say that ZaneRay has more experience making the concept work than anyone. The easiest way to understand how the EOF works is to simply see one of our demos. Contact us to see a demo at 406-863-8000 or email us at info@zaneray.com.

ZaneRay and Extranets

"An extranet is a private business community that uses the Internet as the backbone for communication, commerce, and collaboration"

Any extranet is typically an extension of your corporate network to a select group of users. It's a website that outside vendors and customers use to exchange information with your internal systems.

Some examples of extranets:

• » Supply chain management. A platform for collaboration between company and its overseas contractors. Product specs, production schedules, contracts, etc. are shared while the effect of time zones and the hassle of faxes, etc. is reduced.
• » Sales reps access the extranet to get sales reports on customers, see order status, and place orders
• » Dealers use an extranet to place orders, check on order status, product availability and to get ad and merchandising materials.

ZaneRay is an Internet developer, but our experience is largely corporate. As such, your needs are not abstract ideas to us; we are well positioned to understand how you can best leverage an extranets capabilities. From day one, ZaneRay has addressed the needs of creating corporate extranets. Our tools allow us to efficiently handle the most complex integration challenges.
