Starting this discussion with object to improve modeling aspects of sbshowcase.

But first things first, what are ecommerce?
In my vision ecommerce is a bunch much of other tools integrate with the idea to sell products or services online.

Let's start talking aboug some of needed features

1. Inventory Control
2. CRM
3. CMS
4. MAP
5. PIM
6. ERP

And alot more, so i decided to start this discussion to try to get new ideas for SBShowCase.

Let`s start think how could i start a company using an ecommerce.
So i get me imagining that all i want is put some products on the air, have a space for my client to manage his purchases, have a cart to store products before the purchase itself, has payment options, the website need to be customizable and maybe that is it?

I dont belive so, we need to start thinking how you gonna approach your customers, maybe lets imagine you will use digital marketing so at this point we realize that we need to deal with leads, with some kind of statistics to improve the customer`s experience and with this can sell more stuff.

But if i sell products i start thinking that i might need to have a stock control, because if i dont i will have a lot of problems, because at some point in time i will sell something that i dont have to delivery.

How will be my relationship with my client? Gonna afford some in his anniversary or something like this? What kind of products this customer likes, wants, needed and has to be stimulated to buy.

What king of customization i want at my CMS, i want to build some pages? Where this pages will be setted in the template?
How can i change a template or maybe customize some for me?

All this kind of this i want to be considerating to improve the experience of sbshowcase.

I really believe that really good things will come with this project.
Soon i will start the version 2's data modeling for stock control and crm.
I will start to divide discussion to no be alot extended.

Everyone who can give ideas will be welcome.
