OnQuest Technologies, Inc., Keeps E-Commerce Afloat for the OEM, Distribution, and Retail Marketplace With OnQuest WebTools 3.0.1

    MIAMI--May 1, 2001--Despite the economic factors that have afflicted Internet application developers and online shopping centers "DOT COMS" in the first quarter, OnQuest Technologies kept a steady pace in the development of its applications, growth, revenue and customer share.
    Earlier this year OnQuest Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of Internet applications for e-commerce had launched OnQuest CarShop, the online solution for automotive dealers to deploy fleet and parts inventory online in a manageable e-commerce solution.
    Last month OnQuest Technologies revamped its flagship platform OnQuest WebTools a 100 percent browser-based e-commerce application and released version 3.0.1. OnQuest WebTools 3.0.1 integrates to a broad variety of back office systems such as Microsoft SQL, Sage Mas90, ACCPAC, SBT, Great Plains and Peachtree through widely accepted open standards. The integration of front-end to back-end commerce solutions provided by OnQuest WebTools 3.0.1 enables companies to run their business entirely on the World Wide Web.
    According to Ken Kertznus, Vice President of sales and marketing: "The OnQuest WebTools application can reduce the licensing fees required to expand an accounting package beyond its borders, without discarding the formats that run a business. Our application is an enhancement for business sites that lack e-commerce functionality and whose accounting platforms must be integrated throughout the corporate infrastructure, linking the back-end and front-end in order to operate a successful commerce site. Today every business regardless of size or market niche would like to have a site that operates as smooth as Amazon.com on both the front-end and back-end. Having a site of such caliber is costly and requires many resources; at OnQuest Technologies we are turning the tables and making it practical for businesses to have an online platform that meets a level of high standards and yet is affordable, effective and efficient. OnQuest WebTools along with our e-solutions will improve customer share for any business that needs to maintain its day-to-day level of sales, customer service and operations."

OnQuest WebTools 3.0.1
