Build ecommerce that fits your Business NXT setup

What Business NXT brings to an ecommerce project

Business NXT gives you a solid foundation. Product master data, stock levels, pricing, customer records, and order history already live in the system. When you build ecommerce around it, you are not starting from zero — you are extending what you have into a customer-facing channel.

The cloud-native architecture of Business NXT makes it easier to work with APIs compared to older on-premise ERPs. That said, every integration project still requires careful mapping of data structures, business rules, and exception handling. The ERP holds the truth for inventory and finance. The ecommerce platform holds the truth for the customer experience. Making those two systems agree on product data, pricing tiers, stock availability, and order status is the core technical challenge.

Companies on Business NXT in Sweden and Norway typically sell B2B, B2C, or both. The ecommerce requirements differ significantly depending on whether you are serving trade customers with contract pricing or end consumers expecting fast checkout and delivery tracking. Understanding your specific scenario is where every good project starts.

Choosing the right ecommerce platform

We work with Norce, Shopware, Shopify, and Magento / Hyvä. Each platform fits a different profile, and none of them is the right answer for everyone.

Norce is a Nordic commerce platform built for companies that need strong product information management and multi-market selling. It suits businesses with complex catalogues and B2B pricing. Shopware is an open-source platform with a flexible architecture and a strong European presence — a good fit when you want deep customisation without being locked into a SaaS model. Shopify works well when speed to market matters and the product catalogue is relatively straightforward. Magento with Hyvä gives you a mature open-source ecosystem and a modern, fast frontend — a strong option for companies with established development teams or complex requirements.

The right platform depends on your catalogue complexity, customer types, market ambitions, internal capabilities, and budget. We assess all of these in a discovery phase before recommending a direction. You will always understand the tradeoffs before a decision is made.

How data flows between Business NXT and your store

A typical integration between Business NXT and an ecommerce platform involves several data domains. Products, categories, pricing, and stock levels flow from the ERP to the storefront. Orders, customer registrations, and payment confirmations flow back. In B2B scenarios, customer-specific pricing, credit limits, and order history add additional complexity.

For the integration layer, we use Junipeer — a purpose-built middleware that maps ERP data to ecommerce platforms. The Business NXT connector on Junipeer is currently on the roadmap. Coming soon — contact us for timeline. Even before the connector is fully live, we start the surrounding work: data mapping, field-level quality review, and business rule documentation. That preparation makes the actual integration faster and more reliable once the connector is available.

Data quality deserves its own mention. The ERP may hold all the right data, but product descriptions, images, and SEO-relevant content are rarely complete enough for a good storefront. Part of every project is identifying gaps and building a plan to fill them — whether through enrichment in the ERP, in the ecommerce platform, or in a separate PIM layer.

What surrounds the integration

Connecting two systems is important, but it is only one part of launching ecommerce. A successful project also involves platform selection and architecture, frontend UX and content strategy, quality assurance across devices and customer flows, rollout planning including soft launches and monitoring, and team onboarding so your staff can operate the store independently.

We see many projects stall not because the integration failed, but because no one planned for content migration, search configuration, or post-launch iteration. Our role is to make sure the full picture is covered — not just the technical connection. From the first discovery sprint through phased implementation, every step has a clear purpose and a defined outcome.

If you sell in multiple Nordic markets, localisation adds another layer. Currency, language, tax rules, and shipping options all need to be configured per market. Business NXT handles multi-company setups, but the ecommerce platform needs to reflect that structure accurately on the frontend.

Working with Nordic Web Team

We are a Swedish ecommerce agency that works with companies across platforms and business systems. Our job is to advise, build, and deliver — not to push a single technology. When you come to us with Business NXT, we start by understanding your business: what you sell, who you sell to, how your internal processes work, and what you want ecommerce to do for you.

From there, we recommend a platform, design the integration architecture, and plan the delivery in phases that match your budget and your team's capacity. We stay involved through launch and beyond, because the first version of a store is never the last. Iteration based on real customer behaviour is how good ecommerce gets better over time.

If you are exploring ecommerce and want to understand what it takes to build around Business NXT, a discovery sprint is the right starting point. It gives you a clear view of platform options, integration scope, timeline, and cost — before you commit to a full build.
