Non-Profit & Associations
Commerce Designed to Support Your Mission
Non-profit and association organizations are unique in that surplus revenues are reinvested to further a mission or purpose. Whether serving charitable causes, communities, or members (such as unions or trade associations), these organizations can benefit from an eCommerce solution that supports both engagement and operational efficiency.
If you work in this space, you know the focus must always remain on the cause. The platform used to sell items, raise funds, manage memberships, or promote events should operate seamlessly and efficiently – without introducing unnecessary cost, complexity, or administrative effort.
Nav-to-Net™ eCommerce for Business Central supports these needs because it is fully managed within your ERP. eCommerce in this environment extends beyond product sales to include membership enrollments, event registrations, donations, sponsorships, licensing, recurring transactions, and member management. Our solution provides a comprehensive, tailored webstore that aligns directly with your existing Business Central operations.
Seamless Integration for Better Productivity
Your eCommerce solution should reduce work – not create more. Tight alignment with BC/NAV is core to Nav-to-Net™, enabling automation and technology that significantly improve productivity for non-profit (not-for-profit/NFP) organizations and associations alike.
Behind the scenes, NFPs and membership-based organizations often manage complex processes, unique rules, and specialized workflows. Existing business processes and customizations within Business Central/NAV must be respected to ensure everything operates as a unified system. Since eCommerce is fully managed within the ERP, website updates occur in real time – eliminating lag, miscommunication, and unnecessary manual effort.
Greater Sense of Security
Customers, donors, partners, and sponsors want confidence that their money is secure and directed toward the cause. Nav-to-Net™ provides secure online order taking and payment processing from anywhere. A modern online platform extends your reach, while responsive design ensures the site is accessible and easy to use on any device. With an adaptable, fluid layout and powerful eCommerce capabilities, organizations can increase engagement while maintaining consistent, integrated branding.
Be a Smooth Operator
Gain greater visibility across your business operations. Nav-to-Net™ is fully managed within Business Central, giving you a clear, unified view of day-to-day and month-to-month activity. With seamless data flow from the website into BC/NAV, you can easily access sales reports, customer insights, analytics, invoicing, receivables, order status, and all financial and accounting activity from a single system.
Multiple Catalogs
Nav-to-Net™ provides a centralized, familiar interface for managing multiple catalogs—each with its own pricing structures. Customizing catalogs by audience or use case supports more efficient operations and enables targeted, relevant communication.
Robust Architecture
As your organization grows, systems must scale with it. Our solution is built on a robust, scalable architecture designed to support multiple systems, offices, locations, and warehouses – accommodating increased volume without disruption.
Features Designed for Mission-Driven Organizations
Nav-to-Net™ includes flexible, ERP-governed features designed to support the operational and engagement needs of non-profit and association organizations.
Shopping Cart Options
The ordering and checkout experience can be customized to support the unique needs of non-profit and association organizations. This includes accepting donations, applying grant funding, or placing orders on behalf of specific programs or agencies.
Submission Manager
Create and manage as many forms as needed for membership registrations, event sign-ups, newsletters, volunteer registrations, sponsorships, call-back requests, and more. Forms are built and managed directly within Business Central, allowing you to test effectiveness and adjust formats at any time based on seasonality, campaigns, or organizational needs.
Wish Lists and Product Lists
Simplify recurring orders by enabling wish lists and custom product lists. Tailor these lists to specific customers or groups to highlight the most relevant items, all managed directly within your ERP for consistency and control.
Extras That Add Value
Customizations help create a truly tailored solution without becoming clunky or heavy. For example, an organization that administers a variety of grants – including federal, state, municipal, and private funding programs – can use Nav-to-Net™ to simplify processes and benefit from a solution designed around its specific needs.
Our eCommerce solution also makes it easy to define ordering rules and safeguards, helping prevent errors and inconsistencies. This can include minimum order quantities, required lead times, delivery windows, or storage and handling requirements – ensuring orders are processed correctly every time.
B2B Capabilities for Mission-Driven Organizations
Successful NFP and association eCommerce often depends on the ability to support bulk purchasing, recurring orders, and flexible delivery and payment options. Nav-to-Net™ B2B eCommerce adapts to the unique structures of non-profit, not-for-profit (NFP), and association organizations – whether managing grant-funded purchases, member programs, supporting agencies, or coordinating city-run programs.
Through a dedicated B2B portal managed within Business Central, organizations can streamline transactions while maintaining control and transparency. While nothing replaces the value of staff and personal relationships, Nav-to-Net™ strengthens those connections by making it easier to access products, donations, and services – supporting smoother operations and more effective engagement.
