Cottage Hill Ace Hardware & Unfinished furniture, are located in Mobile, Alabama. An independently owned ACE store, the owner contacted us originally about our 'Custom Circular Program', and once this was under way, wanted us to look at developing a web site for him.

They already had the Activant Eagle for Windows system installed in his store, to he opted to purchase their I-Net E-Store product, a stand alone e-commerce application, that plugs directly into the Eagle system, allowing store owners to display their inventory on the web.

What Open Vista did, was to create a custom designed self-hosted web site, and link it into the E-Store product, a very simple idea that Open Vista have adapted to many of their Ace Hardware clients.

Their store not only sells the major items that you would find in any Ace Hardware store, but also solid wood furniture and go karts. Although many of the furniture items are unsuitable for shipping, along with the go karts, it allows customers to view the furniture online first, before visiting their store.

The store now have the 'complete package', an e-commerce web site, backed up with our custom circular program.
