- Using BridgedCommerce will allow administrators to manage product inventory levels. Threshold notifications are directed to specific departments to when the stock amount dips below a set number. Inventory levels can also be manually set to a specified number by the administrator at any given time. Administrators can control the product display on and off switch which acts as an inventory level guard to prevent back orders from ever taking place. When inventory levels dip below the threshold level set by the administrator, the product can automatically switch to off, or have the ability to take back ordered items.

- Shipping costs are applied to each product based on weight, flat rate cost, or a percentage of the price. These costs are determined and calculated prior to the online sale so that shipping and tax expenditures are automatically subtracted from each order. Bridged Commerce can also successfully integrate with your FedEX Shipping Account to allow shoppers the ability to view the costs of the shipping and leverage additional services already in place within your business. Additional custom development of shipping costs and tax calculations are also available.

- See orders in real time as they are inserted into the database. Search by custom date ranges to generate reports for products sold, total current back ordered products, product sold from the call center, and even determine revenue totals on shipping and taxes. Orders have multiple changes that they go through depending on the cycle in which the product is sold. Administrators have the ability to select which stage the product is currently on and follow up with an immediate action to notify a customer or a specific department. Set an order to shipped, back ordered, call center, or no charge. Supply a tracking number to the order either manually or through custom integration with other online packages.

The navigation displays the category names and loops through the subcategories creating a navigation for shoppers to view in an organized layout. Create and add as many categories to the site as needed. Also create unlimited additional products that can be assigned to the categories that display the list of products available to the shopper.

- Product Promotion Management features are located in the administrative area of Bridged Commerce. Administrators may choose to market product coupons, sweepstake signup contests, and order discounts based on order volume. These features are not only proven to increase repeat orders but give your company a viable way of tracking offline marketing efforts. Also available are the free product promotional items that are added to the cart based on the size of the order, or the amount of price. The administrator assigns a specific product to be added to the order when the customer buys above a set amount. The product is then added to the order of the customer to select the desired options and proceed with the purchase of that order.
