In Web Admin, you can manage the data for consumers who have online ordering accounts with you. Consumers can create an account for themselves at your online ordering site, or you may elect to create an account for a consumer. You can review consumer account data, edit consumer account information, unlock account logins, and reset passwords. If you employ call center functionality, these users access Accounts Review to add consumer accounts, and to select consumer accounts to initiate orders for consumer. Through company settings, you can initiate a weekly export of your consumer data.

Additionally, you can create contact reasons to appear on the Contact Information page. Contact reasons allow your consumers to designate if they want you to contact them for specific reasons, such as promotional offers. You configure the specific contact reason to display on the Contact Information page.

As an added security measure for your consumers, you can create security questions to which your consumers must provide an answer to reset their password.

Accounts Review enables you to view information regarding your consumers. Access Accounts Review in Web Admin by selecting Customer Accounts > Accounts Review. The system displays a grid containing your existing consumer accounts.

The Accounts Review page includes the following information:

In some scenarios, you may need to add and edit consumer accounts. For example, a consumer may have difficulty creating an online ordering account, and you can do so for them. In other situations, you may edit consumer information to add loyalty card information, to update a mailing address, to change an email address, and more.

If you employ call center functionality, the call center employee accesses consumer accounts to review consumer information and to initiate consumer orders. Employees with call center functionality can also have customer accounts.

Upon the creation of a new online ordering account, whether the consumer creates the account at your online ordering site or an employee creates the account for them, the system sends a welcome email to the consumer.
