Nav-to-Net™ is trusted by organizations across a wide range of industries – each with unique challenges, processes, and customer expectations. Our experience spans complex, ERP-driven environments where accuracy, performance, and scalability matter most.
In the automotive industry, companies are faced with several challenges as they transition into an online space. In addition to the move towards digital, there is more emphasis placed on the customer, giving them more access and power. Customers in a B2B space look for their information online while clients in B2C spaces value the flexibility, transparency, and convenience of an eCommerce website. An integrated Business Central/NAV webshop can alleviate many of these industry-specific problems.
Nav-to-Net™ can help you face challenges such as:
Working in the auto industry, lots of planning has to happen for business to operate smoothly, taking into consideration changing technology, customer behaviors, and several other internal and external factors. Achieve optimum connectivity between your warehouse, logistics, stores, and customers with a seamlessly integrated eCommerce solution. Nav-to-Net™ uses your unique business logic and enhances it. Order management and inventory is simply managed from Nav-to-Net™, minimizing errors, redundancies, and ultimately your costs. A technically sophisticated solution helps you remain competitive and gives you the confidence to respond to whatever situations come your way.
Nav-to-Net™ is a comprehensive solution that has the flexibility and power of many contained in one platform. There is strength in consistency, not only in management but also in branding. Brand loyalty is important to customers in the auto industry – it’s typically a longer process and the journey they go on requires expert management.
Nav-to-Net™ is a multi-website solution that supports you having as many catalogs as you need to support your business. There are also multi-language capabilities so you can reach a global audience. Maximize efficiency with a B2B/B2C/B2E-ready platform all managed in one place. Be consistent in your business operations. See the overall picture and act accordingly with confidence in real-time.
Built with Responsive Design, you can reach your customers on multiple channels, increasing their access and improving your brand image. Have a presence wherever your customers are and never lose a chance to connect through your many contact points. Exceptional customer service can be achieved, and it is all taken care of from Nav-to-Net™.
A product configurator can be used for building cars or something service-based like creating a unique service maintenance package. The possibilities are endless. Nav-to-Net™ Configurator allows users to easily create and manage multiple configurators within Business Central/NAV while being seamlessly integrated with existing items, attributes, prices, and availability. Multidimensional variants, such as tire size, tread, brand, and vehicle, can be incorporated to make the shopping process as rich and inclusive as possible. It also educates them on the parts that make up a car, things they should pay attention to, and even set boundaries. For example, some engines don’t go with certain gearings.
Configurator can also be used to create a service package or put together a project that requires quotes. Maintenance packages, for example, allow users to pick a date, type of service they want, and any additional products they may need to purchase. It adds up everything and presents it neatly and elegantly. As every business is different, Configurator is flexible enough to adapt to your unique business logic already existing in Business Central/NAV.
Unlock incremental value at every stage of the buying journey. In industries such as automotive, products are naturally complementary – creating meaningful opportunities to enhance each order. Nav-to-NetTM enables you to surface related items as customers browse or present them at the optimal moment within the Nav-to-Net™ Configurator.
When customers are configuring a product, they are already focused on building the right solution. This is the ideal moment to introduce relevant upsell and cross-sell options – driving higher order value while improving the overall buying experience.
Strong relationships are built on insight, relevance, and trust. With full visibility into purchase history and customer data, Nav-to-Net™ enables organizations to engage customers more thoughtfully and consistently across every interaction.
Features such as Wish Lists can be transformed into guided order tools, helping customers navigate the buying process with clarity and confidence. Combined with sales representative recommendations and customer-specific information, these capabilities create a more personalized and supportive experience – one that strengthens loyalty and long-term retention.
The same level of personalization extends to B2B dealers and suppliers. Secure logins can present dealer-specific pricing, availability, and workflows tailored to their unique sales models. Separate catalogs can be made available with ease, ensuring each audience sees only what is relevant to them.
By giving customers and dealers transparency – through order tracking, price and availability alerts, and fast reordering – Nav-to-Net™ empowers better decision-making and builds trust. And when trust is established, sustainable growth follows.
In industries with expansive product catalogs, clarity and organization are essential. With multiple brands, makes, models, and parts to manage, Nav-to-Net™ provides the structure needed to keep even the most complex catalogs intuitive and easy to
navigate.
Unlimited categories and attributes allow products to be clearly defined, filtered, and organized. This flexibility supports a logical catalog structure that keeps everything in its place – making it easy for first-time visitors to explore, while enabling returning customers to find exactly what they need with minimal effort.
Attribute-based search (also known as parametric search) is available out of the box with Nav-to-Net™, giving customers a faster, more precise way to find products. By defining a set of criteria, users can quickly narrow results and bypass irrelevant options – making search more efficient than traditional browsing.
Guided search further enhances discovery by allowing customers to select attributes that match their needs, quickly refining even the largest catalogs.
Once customers find what they’re looking for, the buying experience remains seamless. Quick cart functionality, one-step checkout, and directly into Business Central ensures orders flow smoothly through your unique sales process.
By removing friction from checkout and fulfillment, Nav-to-Net™ enhances the overall user experience and helps increase conversion rates across your webstore.
Nav-to-Net™ enables customers to interact with your webstore in the way that suits them best. Personalized navigation and interactive filtering help educate buyers and build familiarity – especially for first-time users.
Whether narrowing down tire size by vehicle model, selecting tread type for specific weather conditions, or filtering by other detailed attributes, customers can confidently refine their choices and make informed purchasing decisions.
The result is a shopping experience that feels intuitive, informative, and tailored – supporting both discovery and repeat business.
eCommerce provides multiple opportunities for advancing scientific research, technology, and innovation. From biochemical compounds to stable isotopes, these products are used in research facilities and laboratories, supporting a wide range of noble causes and medical advancements. This industry is typically B2B, with customers working in pharmaceutical, medical, clinical, academic research, and environmental analysis fields.
Nav-to-Net™ tackles eCommerce challenges in this industry such as:

Powerful search functions help customers find what they need quickly and easily. Nav-to-Net™ product configurator can also guide customers through the buying process if they require a specific solution that involves a few different items. There is minimal effort on your part as integrated search functions bring up accurate results for customers and create a smooth and intuitive experience.
Sales and dealer quotes are created and managed in Business Central/NAV, seamlessly integrated into the rest of your eCommerce website and pricing structure. This B2B feature facilitates better communication, quoting and price negotiation. If quotes are an essential part of your business, Nav-to-Net™ has got you covered.
The Quick Order option allows returning customers to place orders quickly by entering item numbers and quantities and moving directly to the shopping cart and checkout. When repeat customers already know what they need, the ordering process stays efficient and focused without sacrificing accuracy, validation, or control.
Customers can access personalized product lists with customer-specific pricing, discounts, or negotiated rates. These curated views function as private catalogs, displaying only the products relevant to each customer’s typical ordering patterns. This reduces time spent searching and simplifies repeat purchasing – especially for specialized or regulated environments.
Orders are automatically transferred into Business Central, with processing rules defined by administrators based on product type or workflow requirements. Always Take Orders™ ensures all orders are captured and processed reliably, providing confidence for both customers and internal teams

With Nav-to-Net™ and its seamless integration with Business Central and NAV, existing customizations remain intact and are better positioned for eCommerce success. Because everything is handled within the ERP, training and maintenance costs are reduced, allowing teams to focus less on managing the website and more on supporting customers.
Sales and technical teams can concentrate on delivering knowledgeable, highquality support – especially in industries where expertise is critical. Our content management capabilities simplify content updates, document management, and media uploads, making it easier to manage content strategically.
Adoption of eCommerce within the construction and real estate sectors has historically progressed more gradually than in other industries. Nav-to-Net™ is designed to address the unique challenges these organizations face, helping them modernize commerce while staying competitive. By leveraging existing investments in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and NAV – including custom workflows and configurations – organizations can extend operations into eCommerce without disruption.
Your Business Central / NAV eCommerce solution should:
The construction and real estate industries continue to focus on reducing environmental impact while improving operational efficiency.

A centralized eCommerce solution for BC/NAV helps make sense of your extensive range of products and expertise, putting it in context for your customers.
Advanced search functions, such as attribute-based search (also known as parametric search), help customers find what they are looking for and to differentiate between similar products. This guides them into choosing the right product for their situation, as well as save time. Prevent your customers from getting overwhelmed by the sheer volume of product available to them.
Nav-to-Net™ item detail pages are full and descriptive. Educating your customers is a big part of successful eCommerce. All content is easily managed with the Multi-Line Text Box (MLTB) tool with WYSIWYG editing. Your product pages can be further customized to suit the look and feel and purpose you need.
There is a growing need for mobile and on-the-go access across construction and real estate operations. Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce for Business Central supports this through responsive design, ensuring websites and online business portals automatically adapt across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. The platform also supports web services that enable integration with third-party applications.
Customers, business users, dealers, vendors, and sales teams can securely access the platform from any device, making it easier to log in, place orders, and stay informed wherever work happens. This flexibility supports real-time access to critical information, including order status, delivery notifications, shipping instructions, confirmations, and payment details.
Because Nav-to-Net™ is entirely managed within your ERP, updates are reflected in real time, allowing teams to make changes and decisions from anywhere with confidence. The result is improved efficiency, stronger collaboration, and higher satisfaction for both customers and employees.
By streamlining authentication across your eCommerce environment, single sign-on (SSO) delivers meaningful usability and security benefits – particularly for organizations managing multiple sites. Customers and internal users authenticate once using a single set of credentials, reducing friction while improving consistency. Centralized access control further strengthens security by ensuring controlled, unified authentication across your Nav-to-Net™ environment.
In construction and real estate, many customers buy in bulk. Nav-to-Net™ makes it easy to support different pricing options based on quantity, as well as dealer markups or previously negotiated customer discounts. Personalized pricing options help customers feel valued while adding efficiency and control to your eCommerce operations.
Quoting and RFP management are essential to many construction and real estate workflows, where bidding processes help establish competitive and accurate pricing. Nav-to-Net™ enables teams to create, manage, and track quotes and RFPs directly within Business Central and NAV, eliminating disconnected tools and manual steps.
Seamless integration with BC/NAV streamlines the process, allowing faster responses and better visibility. Quotes can be generated as PDFs for easy customer distribution, and similar functionality is available within the Vendor Portal, including access to quote lists, statuses, response deadlines, and related details.

In education and ePublishing, where content and product structures are often detailed and frequently updated, making changes once is essential. Responsive Design enables organizations to expand their mobile audience while allowing customers to search, browse, and place orders easily, delivering a consistent eCommerce experience across every device.
No matter your unique business model, Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce allows you to have multiple websites or catalogs to appease your wide range of customers. Whether you are B2C and selling books and educational tools, or in the B2B space and a wholesaler of books selling to independent businesses, bookstores, or educational institutions, Nav-to-Net™ makes it easy to create content and a unique shopping and ordering experience. You can also create as many customer-specific catalogs to accommodate different pricing structures, layout, and specific promotions to better meet customer needs. It’s incredibly customizable and user-friendly so your business is flexible while you maintain full control in the back end.
In the publishing and education industry, there are many opportunities to run targeted promotions and marketing campaigns, including new publications, bestsellers, repromotions of popular titles, holiday offerings, backlisted titles, and more. Nav-to-Net™ supports these efforts by enabling digital marketing functionality, including search engine optimization (SEO) and social media integration. Learning is rarely a solo pursuit, and marketing initiatives can further strengthen your brand by highlighting community, collaboration, and shared knowledge.
Effective marketing and sales strategies start with understanding your customers. Built-in analytics and reporting tools provide valuable insights into customer behavior, helping organizations make informed decisions and refine their approach.
Personalized cross-sells and upsells play an important role in encouraging continued browsing and engagement. Relevant recommendations – such as promoting writing workshops alongside teaching resources or journalism titles – help surface complementary content and increase overall value.
Custom product lists and wish lists support repeat purchasing by highlighting frequently ordered or relevant items at the right time. This is particularly useful for frequently updated materials, such as new textbook editions, guides, and supplemental resources.
The electronics and technology industry is highly diverse and continues to evolve rapidly, spanning consumer electronics, communication and productivity devices, entertainment technology, and the associated parts, services, and supplies that support them. As digital experiences become the standard, organizations are increasingly looking for a cohesive eCommerce solution that can scale alongside their business.
Nav-to-Net™ supports both B2B and B2C business models, helping organizations extend their reach while maintaining operational control. By managing commerce directly within Business Central, Nav-to-Net™ enables meaningful customer experiences while streamlining core business processes.
Here’s how Nav-to-Net™ can make a difference:
In the electronics and technology sector, customers expect modern, seamless digital experiences across every device. Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce for Business Central supports this through responsive design, allowing customers to browse, order, and manage their interactions from desktop, tablet, or mobile without compromise.
Responsive design also ensures a consistent look and feel across all channels, supporting strong brand presentation and a unified customer experience. Because a single site adapts automatically, ongoing maintenance is simplified – eliminating the need to manage separate mobile versions and allowing teams to stay focused on innovation and growth.
No matter how customers choose to interact with your website, Nav-to-Net™ ensures you’re ready to support them. Seamless integration and automated processes reduce manual effort, allowing teams to focus on building stronger customer relationships rather than simply processing orders.
Help customers quickly find what they’re looking for with attribute-based search (also known as parametric search) and other advanced search capabilities. Well-organized categories further improve discoverability. Whether customers are searching for a specific keyboard, a new TV, or a general tablet-type product, they can easily navigate your ERP–native website and find relevant results.
Give customers greater control over their experience. Customers can view purchase history, order status, and profile information, while managing recurring orders with ease. B2B customers benefit from personalized recommendations and accountspecific functionality. These self-service capabilities help reduce support costs while enabling customers to manage transactions from start to finish.
Always Take Orders™ provides peace of mind by ensuring orders are captured reliably, even during unexpected disruptions. Customers avoid lost orders or miscommunication, while real-time synchronization enables timely responses and consistent service.
User and expert reviews help convince customers to purchase. This is especially true for items such as smartphones or TV’s; customers will research and read as many reviews as much as possible. There are many sources for this kind of information. Your Business Central/NAV webshop should aim to provide as much information as possible, keeping customer attention for longer and being the trusted resource. Important features here are content management and ratings and reviews.
Automated or moderated, it is your choice in Nav-to-Net™. Social proof goes a long way to establishing your credibility and gaining customer trust. Ratings are automatically calculated and presented online in real-time.
The most basic of research starts in reading product descriptions and specifications. The ease of content management in Nav-to-Net™ allows you to update quickly and as often as you like. Customers will always get the most correct information available.
Your Business Central/NAV-integrated website content is not limited to copy; files and images can be invaluable. Show customers high resolution pictures of the product, videos, expert opinions, user guides, and more to help customers make more informed decisions.
Our Configurator tool helps customers build custom products and packages with confidence. Through guided selling, customers are led through well-defined questions, steps, and options – helping them choose the right configuration when requirements are complex or decisions aren’t straightforward.
The Configurator works directly with Business Central/NAV items, attributes, pricing, and availability, ensuring accuracy from selection through order placement. Multiple configurators can be created to support different use cases, and completed configurations flow directly into BC/NAV as orders. The result is a streamlined buying experience that simplifies complex sales without unnecessary effort or resource drain.
In the technology industry, change is constant and customer expectations evolve quickly. Staying competitive means anticipating shifts rather than reacting to them. That requires a strong foundation built for scalability, adaptability, and long-term performance.
Nav-to-Net™ is designed to help organizations maximize their Business Central/NAV investment as eCommerce grows alongside the business. The platform scales without disruption, allowing new features, enhancements, and customizations to be introduced as needs evolve – so your solution continues to support growth without requiring replacement.
Event planning and management encompass a wide range of activities, from venue coordination to managing volunteers, vendors, and partner organizations. Whether supporting large-scale business trade shows or private events such as weddings, success depends on careful planning, coordination, and execution.
Extending event operations through an eCommerce solution enables organizations to scale more effectively and support additional customers and business relationships. With many moving parts influencing outcomes, having a centralized, ERP-governed commerce foundation helps bring structure, efficiency, and consistency to event management.
Nav-to-Net™ is a solution that caters to industry-specific challenges such as:
Venues can be large or small, include a variety of spaces used for different purposes, and often host multiple events at the same time. For example, Ballroom A may be used for a wedding, Hall 3 for a business conference, and an outdoor space for a high
school reunion. From setting up booths at a convention to coordinating a fashion show or charity event, each scenario requires close management to ensure events are executed smoothly.
Your eCommerce solution should be closely aligned with Business Central so customizations and business processes remain connected. Your team is flexible – your eCommerce solution should be as well. Nav-to-Net™ supports B2B, B2C, and B2E models, with extensive customization options to adapt to varied event requirements.
You need a comprehensive solution that takes into consideration all business processes already in place within Business Central/NAV. Day-to-day operations are varied, time-sensitive, and involve activities across multiple departments.
Preparing for an event is often a lengthy process, and last-minute changes to event details or customer requirements are expected. With Nav-to-Net™, updates to orders can be made directly within BC. This ERP-governed approach allows teams to change direction quickly, ensuring no lost time and reinforcing customer confidence.
Booking a venue sets many activities in motion, including coordination with vendors, caterers, transportation providers, and more. Events may include multiple booths, each with specific electrical, A/V, or connectivity requirements. Our eCommerce solution enables everything submitted through the front end to be managed in real time within Business Central, ensuring accuracy and eliminating data loss.
The operational details of your business are fully supported with Nav-to-Net™. Core processes such as accounting and billing are handled directly within Business Central, and the platform supports multiple payment methods to accommodate a diverse range of vendors and customers.
Whether by event, service, price range, or vendor, help your customers locate what it is that they need on your website. Nav-to-Net™ allows you to create a virtually unlimited number of categories and subcategories and list items under multiple categories.
Given the nature of your business, you may offer early bird specials, standard rates, on-site rates, and last-minute pricing to customers. With many events going on, all with different dates, this can quickly become challenging. Nav-to-Net™ can help you manage all aspects so you can keep track.
Customers will be able to see their purchase history in real time as well as edit their profile information, including contact information and notifications. Accessed easily from Business Central/NAV, this makes customer account management and building that important relationship simple.
In event planning and management, customer satisfaction depends on many factors. Clear item descriptions, along with supporting images and videos, help present a complete view of venues and services so customers understand exactly what’s being offered. Cross-selling and upselling further support decision-making, as customers may not always realize what they need until relevant options are presented. Showing related items and accessories – even at the shopping cart stage – helps create a more complete and confident purchasing experience.
Ratings and reviews give customers and businesses a voice, allowing them to share feedback and insights. This input supports continuous improvement while also serving as valuable social proof for prospective customers conducting their research.
To deliver an ideal experience for both customers and businesses, it’s important to make research simple and accessible. Information is available directly on your website, kept up to date, and presented through responsive design to support all viewports.
Time is of the essence. This industry can be fraught with logistical challenges because you work in a time-sensitive business. In the food and beverage industry, there are many changing components, day to day, and sometimes on a customer-specific basis. Integration with Business Central/NAV is incredibly important because you need real-time updates. Customizations for your business should be respected and even enhanced with the eCommerce solution.
Nav-to-Net™ addresses common challenges across food, beverage, and hospitality operations, including:
This is generally a time-sensitive industry; food and drink items should be delivered promptly to ensure items are fresh. Depending on what you sell, how your warehouse is organized, and your business processes, items should be able to move quickly when needed. Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce solution ensures that your order processing is handled professionally and efficiently. Orders go straight into Business Central/NAV and Always Take Orders™ means no lost orders ever. Even if there is a disconnect from the back end, you can take control and fulfill customer expectations with Nav-to-Net™.
Customers increasingly expect the ability to check order status, search for product information, and place or modify orders while on the go rather than waiting to access a computer. Responsive Design enables this flexibility, allowing you to adapt to changing behaviors effortlessly.
Especially when it has to deal with food or drink, quickness is appreciated. Time sensitivity is an on-going issue. Nav-to-Net™ order processing is just as quick on mobile as it is on your regular desktop. Because of the seamless integration, see updates as they happen so you can promptly make business decisions.
With Responsive Design, you are able to reach your customers on multiple channels, increasing their access and improving your brand image.

With better visibility into the business situation, you can make informed decisions to enhance and improve your eCommerce strategy.
Standard Nav-to-Net™ features that work in both a B2B and B2C webstore are easily customizable to suit your business needs. In this industry, large product catalogs are the norm. With so many brands, makes, models, and parts, it’s imperative that you have it well organized. Unlimited categories and attributes help define and filter your catalog. There is flexibility in how you structure your items. Accommodate both the first-time user and your familiar customers who already know what they’re looking for.
Each catalog has a purpose and a target audience. In Nav-to-Net™, multiple catalogs can be created and assigned to specific customers. Showcase different price lists, unique items, and more.

The agriculture and horticulture industries encompass the cultivation and growth of crops, flowers, fruits, vegetables, trees, and a wide range of plants. From a business perspective, this also includes the sale of tools, supplies, and services related to plant production, conservation, landscaping, garden design, and the operation and maintenance of nurseries, farms, and growing operations.
When exploring eCommerce options for the horticulture industry, the seamless integration with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central/NAV of Nav-to-Net™ can transform your business and result in increased profitability, better customer service, and improved strategic position, especially if you offer niche products.
Nav-to-Net™ can help you tackle eCommerce challenges such as:
In your business, you may work with multiple vendors and their product ranges. Customers need to be able to search by vendor, product, location, and industry. If you offer a broad range of products or sell highly specialized items within a niche market, your website must support efficient discovery. Nav-to-Net™ provides versatile search functionality managed directly within Business Central, helping reduce search time and improve the overall customer experience.
Effective time management is essential to growing your online business. Providing smooth order processing – with careful attention to instructions, reliable delivery, and product quality – helps maintain customer satisfaction. In industries where freshness is critical, time-sensitive business processes matter even more. Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce for Business Central ensures real-time updates with virtually no lag and no risk of missed orders.
In an industry that is reliant on the seasons like horticulture and agriculture, you need a solution that can keep up with the changes in prices, products, and availability. Nav-to-Net™ makes it easy to see the overall picture. Your business and eCommerce functions are all managed in Microsoft Dynamics Business Central/NAV, resulting in less chance for error. Whether it’s inventory status or seasonal promotions, Nav-to-Net™ lets you see what needs to be done and how to always stay on top. The integration with Business Central/NAV allows for marketing and sales strategy to be implemented quickly so you can capitalize on every opportunity.

When an eCommerce solution is so tightly integrated with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central/NAV, more time can be dedicated to developing customer relationships and providing the highest level of service and technical knowledge.
Support both B2B and B2C customers with flexible catalog structures. Catalogs have evolved from costly, time-consuming printed mailers into dynamic online tools that drive eCommerce sales. Our solution makes it easy to create and manage as many catalogs as needed to effectively reach and influence your target markets.
Create as many categories and subcategories as needed, including customercentric groupings alongside standard product classifications. Items can be listed in multiple categories – for example, poinsettias may appear under Plants and Flowers, as well as Christmas or Winter Plants. Well-structured categories provide clear context, helping customers quickly find what they’re looking for and ultimately improving the overall shopping experience and eCommerce performance.
Building on how your catalog is structured and managed in BC/NAV, that same data can be easily extended to attribute-based search (also known as parametric search) for customers – a built-in feature of Nav-to-Net™. This allows users to filter products based on specific attributes. For example, a gardening store can locate trees that thrive in certain growing conditions or regions, while a wedding planner can quickly identify flowers by color or availability to match a specific event theme, palette, or season.
Whether operating in a B2B, B2C, or hybrid environment, Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce for Business Central adapts to your business model. Selling a single custom flower arrangement to an individual customer can be just as seamless as fulfilling a bulk order of grass seed for a garden centre.
Pricing features provide the flexibility to support wholesale pricing, corporate rates, customer-specific agreements, and promotional pricing. Because everything is fully managed within Business Central, customers see only the pricing and information intended for them – eliminating confusion and maintaining control.
Nav-to-Net™ provides reliable access to core data, business processes, and applications across your organization. Sales Agent Portals connected to BC and your eCommerce site enable sales teams to place orders on behalf of customers and strengthen relationships. Vendor Portals allow suppliers to respond to RFPs, submit shipment notifications, and more. Because all portals operate within Business Central / NAV, duplicate effort is eliminated and customers benefit from smoother, more efficient processes.
The possibilities are endless with the Nav-to-Net™ Configurator, fully managed within the ERP. Customers can create unique flower arrangements tailored to their exact specifications, or purchase bundled gardening tools, nursery supplies, and service or maintenance packages.
Working directly with your ERP’s items, attributes, pricing, and availability, this add-on delivers a differentiated selling experience while keeping backend processes simple and controlled.
You operate in an industry centered on craftsmanship, beauty, and value. This includes selling finished jewelry, custom pieces, jewelry-making supplies, precious metal findings, and related tools. Whether serving end consumers or supplying businesses involved in manufacturing and design, Nav-to-Net™ supports both B2B and B2C business models with equal precision.
In the B2C space, your website should be a refined environment that showcases your products and reflects the quality of what you sell. It’s essential to offer the same level of personalized attention and thoughtful recommendations online as customers would expect in a physical store.
For B2B organizations, selling wholesale precious metal findings, supplies, equipment, and components requires precise control over inventory and order workflows. At the same time, the buying experience must consistently convey quality, trust, and service – expectations that Nav-to-Net™ helps meet through ERP-governed commerce.
Jewelry and luxury goods bring together customers, buyers, vendors, and suppliers in a single commerce experience. Whether selling fine jewelry, luxury accessories, or premium goods, customers can browse and shop in the way that feels most natural to
them. With a virtually unlimited number of categories and subcategories, items can be listed in multiple ways – by product type (necklaces, rings, bracelets), collection, designer, craftsmanship, style (statement, classic, vintage), materials (gold, silver), precious stones (diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds), and more.
Multiple catalogs can also be created to support different customer segments, partners, markets, or collections. Fully managed within Business Central, this approach makes it easy to target specific audiences with the right products and pricing – while maintaining control and consistency across your luxury goods experience.
Compelling and comprehensive product pages help sell to customers and provide a positive impression. Have a variety of ways to present your products, such as master/child items and multi-dimensional product variants.
Multi-dimensional product variants show the different options available with a particular product in a grid format that is easy to understand at a glance. For example, a ring being sold could have different gemstones and various sizes.
Set up item relationships to make browsing a breeze for customers. For example, Gemstones would be the master item. Quartz, Topaz, Amethyst, and more are the child items. You can then go into multi-dimensional variants to further define your items (size, color, etc.)
Multi-Line Text Box tool enables WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editing so you can create a full and compelling description to help you sell without ever seeing a bit of code. File and image management in Business Central/NAV also helps you display your products to their best advantage. Since Nav-to-Net™ content is 100% managed within Business Central, updates occur in real time.
Expand your reach with an international platform. A multi-language, multi-currency, multi-region and multi-site solution helps you reach your true potential in a global market.

Custom product lists can be created and managed for returning customers, featuring the items they purchase most frequently. This allows them to spend less time browsing for products they already know they need and more time completing their orders quickly and efficiently
This is more common in B2B environments, where customers purchase in volume for resale or to obtain supplies for manufacturing. Support different sales unit pricing, bulk pricing, and more – fully managed within Business Central to ensure consistency and accuracy across your eCommerce site.
The home and garden industry continues to expand into eCommerce, driven by rising customer expectations and the need for competitive differentiation. A strong online presence now delivers a clear advantage, allowing customers to access detailed product information quickly and easily. Make it simple for them to research, compare options, create wish lists, and make confident purchasing decisions.
Understanding the customer mindset is especially important when supporting larger or considered purchases such as furniture, décor, outdoor living products, or garden features. You’re in the business of helping customers create comfortable, functional, and stylish environments – whether furnishing a home, staging a property for sale, designing outdoor spaces, or equipping an ergonomic office. Moving from traditional retail to eCommerce introduces unique challenges across both home and garden product categories.
Nav-to-Net™ helps address these challenges by enabling a seamless eCommerce experience fully managed within Microsoft Dynamics Business 365 Central. The solution supports comprehensive product management, customer engagement, and end-to-end sales optimization, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and smooth business processes across your entire eCommerce strategy.
Nav-to-Net™ is built with Responsive Design, allowing your eCommerce website to adapt seamlessly to any device and deliver optimal display and performance – whether accessed on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
Unlike a physical store, your Business Central eCommerce website is open 24/7 and accessible anywhere. Customers now engage across multiple channels, with browsing increasingly happening on mobile devices rather than traditional computers.
When purchasing furniture or similarly high-consideration items, customers often take longer to research and browse. Each moment of inspiration becomes an opportunity to search from a phone. A mobilefriendly experience ensures those opportunities aren’t lost to a website that’s difficult to use on smaller screens.
Don’t lose ground to the competition. Responsive Design creates more opportunities to showcase your brand and products, with every interaction serving as a chance to strengthen customer relationships. Customers can engage from their mobile devices with the same ease and consistency they expect from your BC/NAV eCommerce website.
There are an unlimited number of categories and sub-categories that can be created in Nav-to-Net™ to help define what the customer is looking for. It’s a given that this should be done well but extra care should be taken to ensure the product catalog is structured in a way that is customer-centric. Group items in a logical way but also from a behavioral standpoint.
For browsers and customers with only a general idea or a different goal in mind, it’s worth splitting up the catalog by style (for example, modern, traditional, rustic), by new arrivals, how popular something is, how highly items are rated, if something is going to be discontinued, and more. Nav-to-Net™ supports a virtually unlimited number of categories so you have the freedom to organize your products any way you want. In addition, items can also be displayed in multiple categories. Get the support and structure of a top-notch solution.

eCommerce in manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing has evolved far beyond simple transactions. Today, it must support end-to-end operations – connecting customers, inventory, pricing, fulfillment, and logistics into a single, coordinated flow.

For manufacturers and distributors, the challenge lies in managing automation, inventory accuracy, and complex business rules across growing volumes and channels.

Adopting eCommerce in sports, recreation, and entertainment also introduces unique challenges. The objective is to make it easy for customers and organizations to access products, register for classes or memberships, and make informed purchasing decisions – while maintaining the expertise and service your brand is known for.
Common challenges include:
Whether you sell sporting equipment, recreational gear, branded merchandise, or entertainment-related products, a well-structured catalog is the foundation of a great online experience. Clear organization helps customers quickly understand what you offer – whether they’re shopping for performance gear, leisure products, or fan essentials.
Create categories that reflect how your customers think and shop. Organize by activity, audience, product type, or use case – such as Sports, Recreation, Entertainment, Outdoor, Indoor, Apparel, Equipment, Merchandise, Adults, Kids, or Teams. The structure adapts to your business, not the other way around.
There’s no single way customers browse – and no reason to limit how products are organized. With virtually unlimited categories and subcategories, you can tailor your catalog to support multiple buying paths.
Products can appear in more than one category, making them easy to find regardless of how customers search. For example, a branded hoodie could live under Team Merchandise, Apparel, and Casual Wear, while recreational equipment might appear under both Outdoor Activities and Family Recreation.
Make it easy for customers to choose the right product with multi-dimensional product options displayed in a clear, matrix-style format. Shoppers can quickly compare and select attributes such as size, color, fit, model, configuration, or package type – all from a single product page.

Ecommerce continues to evolve rapidly. Today’s customers no longer want to wait for a representative to register for memberships, book classes, or place orders – and printed catalogs are a thing of the past. They expect to access your online store anytime, anywhere, and on the device of their choice.
A consistent, always-available online experience strengthens your brand and keeps you top of mind. Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce for Business Central, built with Responsive Design, delivers a seamless website experience across desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone – without compromising functionality or usability.
With optimal viewing and the same browsing and ordering capabilities on every device, you gain a clear competitive edge. A true multi-channel ecommerce experience also improves customer service, allowing customers to access their account details, order history, and status wherever they are.
Nav-to-Net™ Configurator is a guided selling wizard designed to streamline complex buying decisions. It offers a smarter way to present products, packages, and experiences – while helping customers feel confident every step of the way.

Below are a few examples of how the Configurator can be used in this industry:
Guide customers through a clear, step-by-step process to help them select the right products for their needs. For example, a team can build a complete soccer kit by choosing uniforms, gear, equipment, and accessories. Packages also create natural opportunities for upsells and cross-sells—without feeling pushy.
Simplify the sale of made-to-order or personalized products through guided configuration. Customers can select specifications, options, and features—such as sizing, materials, or performance attributes—while being educated throughout the process. This is ideal for custom equipment, apparel, or specialty gear.
The Configurator isn’t limited to physical items. It can also power experience-based offerings. Customers can book camps, classes, trips, or events by selecting dates, locations, add-ons, and optional equipment rentals—all in a single, guided flow.
What sets great online stores apart is their attention to detail – offering options that make customers feel recognized and understood. In the sports, recreation, and entertainment industry, personalization matters, whether customers are purchasing for themselves, their family, a team, or an organization.
Running a personalized ecommerce experience doesn’t have to be complicated. Nav-to-Net™ gives you multiple ways to adapt to different customer needs while keeping everything efficient and manageable. When customers feel valued, they’re more likely to return – and spend more.
From individual shoppers to teams, clubs, and organizations, it’s easy to offer pricing and purchasing options tailored to each scenario. Reduce confusion on both the front-end and back-end while supporting bulk orders, team pricing, or volume-based incentives that encourage larger purchases.
With diverse products, programs, and seasonal demand, promotions often overlap – ranging from store-wide sales and new-customer offers to targeted discounts and free-shipping thresholds. Nav-to-Net™ makes advanced promotions and coupon codes easy to set up, manage, and control, so you can stay agile without creating administrative headaches.
