Trade customers get a new gadget

As it works with Vista, technically the widget is a Vista Gadget. It allows trade customers to look up pricing and stock in real-time with full product information and fuzzy searching on product names as well as part numbers and EAN codes. It also gives customers instant access to the status of their orders with direct links to courier web sites for current parcel tracking information.

Mark Needham, Managing Director, Widget UK, commented, "Whether you call it a Widget or a Gadget, it is the latest step in Widget's commitment to make sales data quickly and easily available to all of our resellers. Using a desktop gadget to deliver key sales data means that resellers without the means to implement costly systems integration projects can reap the benefits of web services without the headaches and overheads."

The gadget can be downloaded directly from Widget's extranet at http://extranet.widget.com
