The possibilities of standard e-commerce software seems to be endless, but what is the most suitable solution for your company? In the coming blogs I will highlight a few software programs and highlight what the strength is of that particular software. Today I start with Sana Commerce.
Sana Commerce is an e-Commerce solution that is very powerful in combination with the ERP system, making management super easy and fast to implement. Because Sana is integrated by means of code in the ERP system, exactly the same business logic is used as in the ERP system. If there are add-ons in Business Central that are used in the sales order or items in Business Central, this logic can also be used in the webshop. This ensures uniformity and makes e-commerce management simple by managing everything in one place in the ERP system.
Using the same code as the ERP system has even more advantages, it also prevents rounding differences in price calculations, especially with large numbers that are orderdered. For example, with a rounding difference of 0.001 for 1 piece, it may not be a problem, if the customer orders 100,000 pieces, this difference will increase to 100 euros!
