Seamless ERP integration with Dynamics NAV

The store is directly connected to the ERP system via the B2B connector. This means that prices, stock levels and customer data can be called up in real time - for an individual and up-to-date display for each customer.

Smart product search and filter logic

The advanced search is based on Apache Lucene and enables targeted filtering according to technical parameters such as voltage, capacity or weight. The professional search allows users to order directly from the results.
