Build ecommerce around the Pyramid you already run

What Pyramid gives you — and where ecommerce needs more

Pyramid handles the operational backbone of your business: general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, stock management, purchase orders, and warehouse logistics. For many Swedish companies it is the single source of truth for pricing, customer records, and inventory levels. That is a strong foundation.

Ecommerce, however, introduces requirements that Pyramid was never built to address directly. You need rich product content with images, filters, and variant logic. You need a responsive storefront with fast page loads and a checkout that supports multiple payment methods and shipping options. You need campaign tools, personalisation, and the ability to test and iterate on the buying experience. These capabilities belong in a dedicated ecommerce platform — not bolted onto the ERP.

The practical question becomes: how do you connect the two worlds cleanly? And which ecommerce platform fits the way your team works? Those are the decisions we help you make.

Choosing a platform that fits a Pyramid setup

We work with Norce, Shopware, Shopify, and Magento / Hyvä. Each one is a genuine option for companies running Pyramid, but the right choice depends on your situation.

Norce is a Nordic commerce platform built for multi-market and multi-channel scenarios. If you sell across several countries or combine B2B with B2C, Norce gives you a commerce engine designed for that complexity. It works well when you need granular control over pricing, assortments, and market-specific logic.

Shopware is an open, API-driven platform with strong content and merchandising tools built in. It suits teams that want editorial control over their storefront without depending on a separate CMS. If your catalogue is mid-to-large and your team wants flexibility without heavy custom development, Shopware is worth evaluating.

Shopify offers speed to market and a large ecosystem of apps. For companies that want to launch quickly, keep operational overhead low, and scale without managing infrastructure, Shopify is compelling. The tradeoff is less flexibility in areas like B2B pricing rules and deep ERP-driven logic.

Magento with Hyvä gives you full control over every aspect of the storefront. It suits complex catalogues, advanced pricing, and organisations that have — or want — a development team close to the code. The investment is higher, but so is the ceiling for customisation.

How data moves between Pyramid and your storefront

Integration is where many ecommerce projects either succeed or stall. The data that typically needs to flow between Pyramid and the ecommerce platform includes products and descriptions, stock levels, customer records, pricing and discount structures, orders, and fulfilment status. Some of this moves in real time; some is batched. The direction matters too — products and prices flow out of Pyramid, while orders and new customer registrations flow back in.

For Pyramid, we build project-specific connectors through Junipeer, our integration layer. Because there is no pre-built connector on the shelf, each implementation is scoped to your specific Pyramid setup, data model, and business rules. Customer-facing integration typically takes one to two months once requirements are locked. That timeline covers mapping, development, testing, and go-live of the data flows themselves.

But integration is only one piece. Deciding which fields to sync, cleaning up product data before it reaches the storefront, defining how pricing rules translate, and agreeing on error handling — that is where the real work sits. We treat integration as a workstream inside the broader project, not as the project itself.

The work around the integration

A successful ecommerce launch built around Pyramid involves several workstreams running in parallel. Platform selection comes first: understanding your requirements, evaluating the options, and making a decision your team is confident in. Then comes architecture — how the platform, Pyramid, and any supporting services connect, and what the data contracts look like.

Content and UX deserve serious attention. Product data in an ERP is structured for operations, not for selling. Descriptions may be terse, images may be missing, and category structures may not match how customers browse. We work with your team to identify gaps and build a content plan that makes the storefront commercially effective.

For companies with large or complex catalogues, a dedicated PIM system is often the right layer to manage that product content between Pyramid and the storefront. See our PIM systems comparison for a platform overview.

QA is another workstream that cannot be an afterthought. We test integration flows, storefront functionality, edge cases in pricing and stock, and performance under load. Rollout planning covers go-live sequencing, monitoring, and a clear plan for what happens in the first weeks after launch when real traffic meets real orders.

Why work with Nordic Web Team

We are platform-agnostic. We do not push one platform because we have a partnership quota to fill. We recommend what fits your business, your team, and your Pyramid setup. Our experience spans the platforms listed here, and we have built integrations against a range of Swedish ERP systems.

We focus on the full delivery — not just the connector. From the first discovery sprint through go-live and beyond, we stay involved in platform choice, data quality, frontend experience, and operational readiness. The goal is an ecommerce setup that your commerce team can run confidently, with Pyramid continuing to do what it does well underneath.
