Industry
Your Manufacturing system stays. Ecommerce grows around it.
You have invested heavily in Manufacturing to run production, inventory, and order logic. Nordic Web Team helps you build an ecommerce layer that connects to what you already have, on a platform that fits your customers and your complexity.

About the area
Manufacturing systems are built to manage production planning, bills of materials, inventory control, and order fulfilment. They handle the operational core of a manufacturing business well. Where they become limiting is in the customer-facing layer: product presentation, self-service ordering, spare-part catalogues, dealer portals, and flexible pricing for different customer groups. These are ecommerce problems, not ERP problems. Solving them means choosing the right frontend platform, structuring product data for a buying experience rather than a warehouse, and designing an integration architecture that keeps both systems in sync without creating manual work. That is where platform choice, data quality, and delivery planning matter as much as the integration itself.

These systems often show up when we plan ecommerce for this type of business. Use them as concrete tracks for CRM, payments, and ERP.

Business benefits
Give dealers a portal that reflects their pricing
Customer-specific price lists, volume discounts, and credit terms from Manufacturing show up automatically in the ecommerce layer. Dealers see their prices, not someone else's.
Choose a platform that matches your complexity
Norce handles complex B2B product and pricing models at scale. Shopware offers flexibility for mid-market manufacturers moving online. Magento with Hyvä delivers performance for large catalogues. Nordic Web Team helps you evaluate which one fits your business, not the other way around.
Protect the investment you already made
Manufacturing stays your system of record. Ecommerce connects to it rather than replacing it. You avoid a costly re-implementation and keep the operational workflows your team already knows.
Reduce order errors and manual data entry
When product data, stock levels, and customer records sync between Manufacturing and your ecommerce platform, manual re-keying drops. Fewer errors, faster fulfilment, less frustration for your operations team.
Launch in stages instead of one risky go-live
Start with a defined product segment, customer group, or market. Validate the setup, learn from real orders, then expand. A staged rollout lowers risk and keeps the business running while you grow the channel.
Delivery approach
Junipeer provides a proven integration layer between Manufacturing and platforms like Norce, Shopware, and Magento, handling product data, pricing, stock, orders, and customer records. But the integration is only one part of the work. A successful ecommerce project also requires platform selection, data quality review, content and UX design, QA across the full order flow, and a rollout plan that fits your organisation. Nordic Web Team delivers all of that as one engagement.
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 Manufacturing setup, catalogue structure, customer types, and sales logic. Based on that, we recommend whether Norce, Shopware, or Magento with Hyvä is the best fit, and define the scope for a first phase.
2
Architecture and integration design
We design how Manufacturing and your ecommerce platform will share data: products, prices, stock, orders, and customers. We define what syncs, in which direction, and how often, using Junipeer as the integration layer.
3
Build and QA
We build the storefront, configure the platform, connect the integration, and structure your product data for a buying experience. Every order flow, price rule, and sync is tested against real Manufacturing data before anything goes live.
4
Launch and optimisation
We launch with a defined customer segment or market, monitor the integration and order flow, and resolve issues quickly. Once the first phase is stable, we plan the next expansion together.
FAQ
Do I need to replace Manufacturing?⌄
No. Manufacturing stays your system of record for production, inventory, and orders. The ecommerce platform handles the customer-facing experience and connects to Manufacturing through an integration layer. You keep the operational workflows your team already uses.
Which ecommerce platform fits a Manufacturing business best?⌄
It depends on your catalogue size, customer types, and growth plans. Norce is strong for complex B2B pricing and multi-market setups. Shopware works well for mid-market manufacturers who need flexibility without heavy customisation. Magento with Hyvä suits large catalogues where frontend performance matters. Nordic Web Team helps you evaluate the options based on your specific situation.
What data typically syncs between Manufacturing and the ecommerce platform?⌄
The most common data flows are product information, pricing and customer-specific price lists, stock levels, customer records, and orders. The exact scope depends on your platform choice and business logic. Junipeer handles the integration, and Nordic Web Team defines what should sync and validates the data quality before launch.
What does a project like this typically cost?⌄
Engagements range from an architecture review to a staged rollout, depending on scope and complexity. We start with a discovery phase so you get a clear cost picture before committing to a full build. Contact us for a conversation about your specific situation.
What work is needed beyond connecting Manufacturing to the ecommerce platform?⌄
Integration is one piece. You also need to choose the right platform, clean and structure product data for a buying experience, design UX and content for your customer types, run thorough QA on order flows and pricing logic, and plan how you roll out to customers. Nordic Web Team covers all of this as part of the project.
