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. From initial product discovery and order placement to pick, pack, ship, and ongoing customer engagement, commerce must move as efficiently as the supply chain behind it.
For manufacturers and distributors, the challenge lies in managing automation, inventory accuracy, and complex business rules across growing volumes and channels. Nav-to-Net™ meets this challenge with an ERP-governed eCommerce solution designed to match the pace and precision of your operations – while respecting and extending the customizations already in place within Business Central.
Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce is 100% managed within Business Central & NAV, allowing it to adapt to the specific needs of your operation. Across manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing environments, large volumes of data and complex workflows demand reliable, real-time synchronization. Our solution provides that foundation – keeping systems aligned, data accurate, and processes connected across the supply chain.
Automation and real-time accuracy improve experiences across the organization. Customers interact with an intuitive front-end, while internal teams manage business processes, reporting, and content directly within your ERP. Because everything is fully managed within BC/NAV, synchronization happens in real time – eliminating manual effort, delays, and rework
Selling directly to customers through eCommerce opens new revenue channels. Nav-toNet™ supports broader commerce strategies by enabling partners, suppliers, dealers, and vendors to participate – reducing reliance on intermediaries. Manage multiple storefronts, products, and services while maintaining a consistent, professional customer experience.
Managing supply chain operations requires simplicity across complex systems. Whether manufacturing or distributing, Nav-to-Net™ adapts to your operational model and business rules. By keeping commerce fully aligned with Business Central, processes are streamlined across roles, data, and technologies – delivering greater visibility, control, and efficiency throughout the supply chain.
This is primarily a B2B environment, but B2C practices can be adopted to enhance the experience where appropriate. Behind every decision-maker are people who still value personalization, ease, comfort, and security. By leveraging your existing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environment, you can create meaningful and consistent customer experiences.
eCommerce solutions are not one-size-fits-all. Just as Microsoft Dynamics Business Central/NAV can be configured to suit your business, your eCommerce solution should be equally flexible. Nav-to-Net™ makes it easy to define rules and constraints to manage the unique challenges found across this broad industry.
Order taking and processing are centralized directly within Business Central. Customers, partners, and vendors can place orders anytime, from anywhere, while inventory management and fulfillment remain within a single system. Always Take Orders™, exclusive to Nav-to-Net™, ensures orders are never missed. The solution can be configured to match your workflows, including order review before financial posting and support for custom order validations.
For returning customers and recurring purchase orders, Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce simplifies the setup of repeat orders, online payments, and shipping or delivery notifications – managed through BC/NAV. Automating these processes removes guesswork and ensures customers receive what they need, when they need it. Orders can be adjusted at any time for added flexibility.
As customers browse and place orders, they have access to account details, order history, status updates, payments, shipping notifications, and more. This transparency increases satisfaction and builds trust. By offering greater control and visibility, customers feel supported and are more likely to continue doing business with you.
Manufacturing, logistics, and distribution eCommerce have the potential to deliver substantial returns through focused investments in Business Central/NAV integration and the right eCommerce technology. Maintaining a professional, highly functional online presence requires every aspect of the eCommerce site to be thoughtfully designed and accessible to users anywhere, at any time.
