 <\/p>\n

As part of our mission to revolutionize B2B online commerce, today we are pleased to announce that the first public Alpha release of OroCommerce is now available on Github<\/a>. OroCommerce, an open-source business to business e-commerce application, was inspired by the realization that the world of B2B online\u00a0commerce needed a quantum leap to close the technology and user experience gaps. Built from the ground up on best-of-breed technologies including PHP, Symfony 2 and OroPlatform, OroCommerce will help companies streamline operations, lower their costs, and compete in a dynamic market.<\/p>\n

The first Alpha release includes the following tools and features:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Corporate Customer Account Management<\/strong><\/p>\n

With OroCommerce, you can easily create customer accounts and user records for your customers. The accounts can be grouped together and organized to reflect organizational structures of your large enterprise clients. You can specify as many levels of business units, subsidiaries, or international offices as necessary under each corporate account, then configure permissions of individual customer account users depending on their role in their organization. You can also appoint selected employees of your customers to perform user management functions within their organizations.<\/p>\n

You can also assign selected price lists to individual customers, customer groups, and websites.<\/p>\n
