Sales People as Customer Groups???
Posted: Fri May 28, 2010 8:57 am
Hi
I need some advise from the OpenCart community on the following client requirement.
I have developed an opencart ecommerce website for a client .
They have sales people out "knocking on doors" and getting orders for the website.
The web administrator wants to be able to set up sales people so they can log in directly into the website and add new customers they sign up. Their customers can then place orders through their own customer accounts, but these customer accounts will somehow be linked to the sales person who signed them up initially.
The web administrator would like to view reports across all sales people to filter on their customers (grouped by sales person)
The sales person should be able to add new customers through the admin area and assign them to the sales person's account.
I'm very confused as to how to approach this. Should I set up every sales person as a "Customer Group" and add all their signed up customers to this group?
Should I be looking for affiliate code?
How can these requirements be met?
Have a deadline of just 1-2 days to provide an answer back to the client..am I screwed??
