Online Ordering Portal
Howell Marketing Services' online ordering portal was originally created for pharmaceutical sales reps, and now is used for any group that is authorized to order your company's products, premiums, marketing materials, and promotional items.
The portal is set up on a standard e-commerce platform and is fully customizable to your needs. Add your logo, your colors, and your theme.
In some cases, a program administrator may approve orders and set limits. In other cases, the admin will order on behalf of a sales team or group for monthly replenishment of materials, for onboarding a new salesperson, or for product launches.
Product photos make online ordering easy and accurate. The online ordering portal is mobile compatible.
