Abstract: | Information technology has been used increasingly to enhance the global competitiveness in various industries through the widespread application of cost effective electronic commerce. Many Internet-based systems have been designed and developed for supply chain management in many areas, such as publishing, computer, and garment industries. Most of them mainly center on information communication infrastructure, coordination between production and distribution, and purchasing functions with security mechanism. In this paper, we focus on the most common modules in electronic commerce front-end to conjoin various business organizations and to strengthen business competence, namely (1) an efficient web page and catalogue generator; (2) a hybrid search engine specifically for product, merchandise, equipment, and other enabling technologies; and (3) a set of tools to monitor usage patterns to further improve the web page organization. We also address the issues on implementation, examples and future directions. |
