Allows viaVerio resellers to simplify order processing, ease credit card payments, optimize product catalog and produce financial reports.

Verio Inc., a hosting and Internet services provider, yesterday announced the availability of its Verio Reseller Business Tools (RBT), a suite of tools designed to assist viaVerio resellers with the management of their businesses.

The company says that the functionality of RBT ensures that users can manage customer information by creating and managing customer groups for customized mailings and email promotions, and enable customers to update their own contact and billing information and track trouble tickets.

RBT's features allow resellers to simplify order processing, ease credit card payments, optimize product catalog and produce financial reports. Additionally, RBT integrates Intuit QuickBooks Pro for automatic synchronization with order, payment, refund, customer and product information, allowing resellers to streamline accounting processes and improve financial planning.

"As many hosting resellers' businesses begin to grow, they often encounter roadblocks along the way and find themselves struggling under the weight of managing customer information, billing and payment processes and other tasks which must be performed each and every month. The RBT offering is intended to relieve this burden and free up resellers time to focus on the business itself - not administrative tasks," said Jim Ciampaglio, director of reseller sales for Verio."
