Construction & Real Estate
eCommerce Designed to Support Complex Operational Requirements
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:
- Create a strong online presence, expand reach, and deliver a consistent experience for customers, suppliers, dealers, and vendors
- Adapt to diverse B2B business models while showcasing products, services, and specialized expertise
- Support efficient operations through features such as quote creation and management of supplier and dealer relationships
- Accelerate order processing and fulfillment, reducing delays and ensuring accurate, up-to-date information across the business
The construction and real estate industries continue to focus on reducing environmental impact while improving operational efficiency. Extending business operations to include ERP-governed eCommerce is an effective way to support these goals – streamlining processes, reducing waste, and enabling smoother execution across projects and ongoing operations.
Show Off Your Products and Expertise
Better Product Presentation
Multiple websites, catalogs, and categories are supported in Nav-to-Net™ for better organization and to appeal to customers. It is all managed in one place, your existing Business Central/NAV. 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.
Find it Fast
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.
Educate Customers
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.
Business Anywhere with Responsive Design
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.
B2B Capabilities for the Industry
Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration
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.
Pricing Options
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.
Quotes and RFPs
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.
With an ERP-governed eCommerce solution designed specifically for your ERP environment and industry requirements, there’s no need for cumbersome workarounds. Nav-to-Net™ supports efficient, controlled B2B commerce – built to fit how your business already operates.
Targeted Efforts with Big Impact
Be prepared for growth and increasing sales volume as construction and real estate organizations continue to adopt more advanced technology. Managing the flow of online and financial data requires solutions that work seamlessly within Business Central and NAV. Nav-to-Net™ supports this by handling commerce, data, and technical processes directly inside the ERP.
Customers, suppliers, and dealers benefit from a streamlined, intuitive experience, while internal teams gain efficiency and control. Nav-to-Net™’s robust, ERP-governed architecture is designed to scale as your business grows or evolves, supported by the Digital Vantage Point team and our partner community.
