Partnering with Second Phase means that your business will receive a unique, differentiated webstore with all the essentials you need to grow your business including seamless integration with the Acumatica ERP, state-of-the-art product information management (PIM), and AWS cloud-based technology for optimal speed, availability, security, and scalability.
Our webstores are designed for distributors and manufacturers to:
Make life easier for your customers
Improve your business efficiency

Compete with the mega online retailers now and into the future

‘Plug in’ eCommerce platforms do not handle the B2B capabilities that your buyers have come to expect. The Second Phase PIM is at the core of our technology and it drives intelligent search, navigation, engagement, and SEO. It is a ‘one-stop’ data hub to manage and update an unlimited number of SKUs and product data from all sources; it deduplicates and normalizes attribute data for ecommerce; provides automatically personalized merchandising based on behavior and/or ERP data, and supports multiple storefronts per the main webstore. Our SAAS offering comes with unparalleled and ongoing support, project management, training, a Knowledge Base, a dedicated Client Success Manager, quarterly business reviews, and tools to help you boost internal/external adoption.

PROS: This solution will communicate with Acumatica seamlessly. Utilizing the Second Phase solution, we are able to host two different webstores, that pull inventory from the same Acumatica instance. We run an appliance parts distribution company, as well as an electronic component distribution company. These needed to be hosted on two different webstores, as there is almost zero customer crossover between the two divisions. Second Phase was able to help facilitate this and we can continue to add new webstores to the solution as needed.
CONS: There are still a handful of issues that we are trying to get resolved. The biggest of which we have been told could take 12 - 18 months for a solution. Second Phase does not have the ability to push a customer’s credit card information into Acumatica. They don't have the appropriate encryption certifications. So, this means that we collect credit card payments using a merchant service account and then manually apply each transaction to the appropriate invoice. We would prefer that the credit card info syncs into Acumatica and gets charged using the native Acumatica processes, thus creating and closing payments automatically.
