Business to Business Industry Transaction Platform
Outsors has developed a base platform that can be used for automated online business for any industry. The platform is accessed through any web browser with an internet connection.
The platform is composed of two functional roles:
1. For Suppliers 2. For Buyers (wholesale)
Suppliers create their stock and assign rights on who can purchase from them. Suppliers also define payment terms and delivery rules.
Buyers (wholesale) can then browse and purchase stock items after login to the platform.
The platform automates the complete purchasing cycle. Buyers can view available stock, order and see the status of their orders. They can view reports on their purchases, amounts paid and outstanding.
Suppliers can manage their sales and automate their order taking. The platform can also be used as an accounting module.
Eg. Agent Active

Business Process Automation
Manual processes are large cost centers for businesses as they are time consuming and are prone to human errors. By automating these processes companies can create efficient ways to complete time intensive tasks. Rather than using fax, paper and telephone an automated process through a centrally hosted web application can coordinate and monitor the efforts of all parties.
For management to make the right decisions management has to have access to real time information and indicators reporting the status of each part of the business.
Outsors can accumulate data from a variety of sources such as:
System databases Automated data capture tools Manual data capture – through online forms
This data can then be presented through a customised dashboard to reflect the real time status of each section of the business; financial, quality control, customer service etc.
Custom development
Outsors has wide industry knowledge and can custom develop any functionality required. Consultation will lead to specifications for development. Project management and quality control are critical aspects of system delivery.
Agent Active
Agent Active it the first of Outsors’s B2B industry transaction platforms. Agent Active is a platform for the automated transaction of travel suppliers and buyers.
Tour Operators can create their stock which can include; flights, accommodation (rooms), transfers. These are presented on two levels; one to the trade through a closed user group and second direct to the public through an open website.
Each Travel Agent has their username and password with which they access the wholesale section. Travel Agents can then purchase stock (rooms, flights, transfers) based on the rules setup by the Tour Operator.
Tour Operators can:
Create stock items. Define rooms with high and low season, release dates and configuration. Define with which Travel Agents they want to do business. Define who they want to sell on credit or on COD. Manage their stock through the system. Manage their collections through the system. Access full reporting for their transaction.
Travel Agents can:
Search through the online database by country, date, type of travel. Download information leaflets for each of the stock items. Book and pay for items bought. Print valid end customer vouchers. Access full reporting for their transaction.
