RMA Management
Platinum members in the Global Trade Marketplace can enjoy RMA, or return merchandise authorization management. This system offers you a control panel and several business tools for utmost efficiency. The Global Trade Marketplace has created its system of tools and features with the business person in mind. You can set up your own letterhead with your company information, send RMA requests and set up requests for those buyers who have RMA, and have the option to automatically send the RMA or manually send it when a request is received. This really takes the work out of your RMA management so that you can focus on more important aspects of your online business.
Proforma Invoice Management
You can create your Proforma invoices to send to your buyers using your own company letterhead. This is a very important feature. Not only are the Proforma invoices available to your buyers through the Global Trade Marketplace, but you also have the option of sending them to non-members as well. You will have a control panel where you can set up your system the way that you want it. It is customizable in a way that is effective for your business and the success of that business.
Purchase Order Management
Purchase order management is another very important feature that you will get to use with the Platinum membership in the Global Trade Marketplace. With so much to handle in your business on a daily basis, it’s nice to know that things like this can be handled simply by logging into your control panel. Set up your purchase order management the way you want and then you are done with the heavy lifting. You can keep track of all your orders and shipments from those businesses who supply yours in many ways with this feature. You have the ability to attach copies of your BL’s, packing lisps, airway bills and invoices with each of the records. Real time status updates keep you informed and on track.
VIP Showroom and Download Center
What business is complete without a showroom in which to display your newest products, services, inventions or designs? Platinum members receive a virtual showroom to showcase their items to potential buyers or even their long-time, loyal customers. With password access you have full control over who visits this showroom, too. This is a very convenient and necessary feature.
Platinum membership in the Global Trade Marketplace entitles you to 50 MB of space for downloading and storage of virtual items. With a simple password your clients, buyers and customers can download necessary files that you have uploaded for them. These files can be anything from price lists to catalogs. When you have a large file that you simply cannot send via email, use your Global Trade Marketplace download center.
These are just a few of the great features available to the Platinum members of the Global Trade Marketplace. New features are coming soon and you would be wise to start your Platinum membership today to start receiving all of these extra features that a successful business simply cannot afford to be without.
