Protect your IFS investment
Your operational backbone stays untouched. Ecommerce connects to IFS rather than replacing or reworking it, so your teams keep the workflows they depend on.
Your IFS investment stays. Ecommerce builds around it.
You already run your business on IFS. Nordic Web Team helps you choose the right ecommerce platform, connect it properly, and launch with a plan that covers everything from data quality to content and QA.

About the system
IFS is built for complex operations — asset management, field service, manufacturing, and project-driven businesses. It handles deep operational workflows that most ERPs simplify away. But IFS was not designed to run a storefront. Product presentation, catalogue logic, pricing for online buyers, and checkout flows sit outside its core. That gap is not a flaw — it is a design boundary. The question is how you build ecommerce around it without duplicating data, creating manual steps, or locking yourself into a platform that does not fit your customer base. The answer depends on your product catalogue, your buyer expectations, and how your IFS instance is configured. That is where platform choice, integration architecture, and delivery planning all come in.

Business benefits
Pick a platform that fits your buyers
Norce, Shopware, Shopify, and Magento/Hyvä each serve different catalogue sizes, buyer journeys, and market needs. You get an honest comparison before committing.
Reduce manual order and product handling
When prices, stock levels, and order data flow between IFS and your store, your commerce team spends less time on re-entry and corrections.
Launch with confidence, not surprises
A phased rollout with proper QA means fewer post-launch fixes and a team that knows how the new setup works from day one.
Grow without rebuilding
The architecture is designed so you can add markets, catalogues, or channels later without starting over.
Own the full picture, not just the connector
Integration is one piece. You also get guidance on content structure, UX decisions, and data quality — the things that determine whether buyers actually convert.
Delivery approach
IFS integrations are built as project-specific connectors through Junipeer, our integration layer. Each connector is scoped to your IFS configuration and the ecommerce platform you choose. Typical customer-facing integration work takes 1–2 months. But the integration is only one part of the delivery. Platform selection, data quality review, content and UX preparation, QA, and rollout planning make up the rest — and often determine whether the project lands well or not.
Beyond the integration
The integration is only one part of the work. Platform choice, data quality, content, UX, QA, and the launch itself also need to be planned and delivered for the solution to work in practice.
1
Discovery and platform selection
We map your IFS setup, your catalogue structure, and your buyer expectations. Based on that, we walk through which platform — Norce, Shopware, Shopify, or Magento/Hyvä — fits best and why.
2
Architecture and integration design
We define what data moves between IFS and the store, how it moves, and where Junipeer handles the translation. We also design the content model and UX direction.
3
Build and QA
Platform, storefront, and integration are built in parallel. QA covers data accuracy, order flows, edge cases, and real-device testing before anything goes live.
4
Launch and optimisation
Rollout follows a plan — not a deadline. After launch, we monitor data flows, collect feedback, and help you prioritise the next round of improvements.
FAQ
Do we need to replace or modify IFS?⌄
No. IFS stays as your operational core. The ecommerce platform connects to it through a project-specific integration built via Junipeer. Your IFS configuration and workflows remain intact.
How do Norce, Shopware, Shopify, and Magento/Hyvä differ for an IFS setup?⌄
Norce is strong for complex B2B catalogues and multi-market setups common in Nordic companies. Shopware offers flexibility for businesses that need deep customisation and European market focus. Shopify provides speed to market and a large app ecosystem, well suited for simpler catalogues or DTC models. Magento/Hyvä gives you full control over frontend performance and works well for large catalogues with specific UX demands. The right choice depends on your products, your buyers, and how your IFS data is structured.
What data typically syncs between IFS and the ecommerce platform?⌄
Products, prices, stock levels, customer records, and orders are the most common data objects. The exact scope depends on your IFS modules and the ecommerce platform. We define the data map during the architecture phase and build the connector accordingly through Junipeer.
What does a project like this typically cost?⌄
Projects range from a focused discovery sprint to a phased implementation, depending on platform choice, catalogue complexity, and number of markets. We scope and price after the discovery phase so you have a clear view before committing to the full build.
What work is involved beyond the integration itself?⌄
Quite a bit. Platform selection, data quality assessment, content and UX preparation, frontend build, QA, and rollout planning are all part of a proper delivery. The integration connects the systems, but the surrounding work determines whether the store actually performs for your buyers.
