Related Applications:

• Online Catalog With Product Rating: A template that combines the Online Catalog & Ordering application with the Stuff Rating application to allow customers to review and rate your products
• Service Call/Request Management: A similar template where customers order services instead of products. The service request processing is more elaborate than the order processing of the online catalog: A service manager assigns the service request to an employee, who may ask for additional information from the manager or the customer.
