E-Commerce Built for Your ERP System
Sana Commerce Cloud is an e-commerce solution for Microsoft Dynamics and SAP. Running an ERP integrated e-commerce solution means that ERP is a brain of the Sana Commerce Cloud products as it allows organizations to leverage a suite of integrated applications to streamline and automate business processes.
ERP integration means that Sana uses your ERP as the foundation for your webstore. That means the products, customers, pricing structure and order calculations that were modeled to your business long ago can be automatically transferred to your new webstore environment. Likewise, all relevant data entered in your webstore environment will automatically appear in your ERP.
Supported ERP Systems
Integration between Sana and ERP is unique in the sense that all information used in your webstore comes directly and real-time from a single place - your ERP system. Since all master data is managed and stored in a single ERP database, you can prevent data inconsistency and ensure that all your departments work with the same data.
When customers open the Sana webstore, they ask the ERP system to show some particular information or to perform some action, like calculation, and the ERP system responds to the customer’s requests real-time. The ERP in its turn asks the customer “What data do you want to save?”, for example a sales order or a new customer. This both-way real-time communication between Sana and the ERP system, and master data management in a single place – your ERP system – this is what we call the power of integration, as your ERP is the heart of your business.
When Sana Commerce Cloud is installed, it is very easy to establish connection between your ERP system and the Sana webstore. You can do it in Sana Admin. With just a few simple actions you can connect your Sana webstore to your ERP system. When connection is established, you can start using the data that is already present in your ERP system to build your webstore.
The main data that is directly coming from and managed in the ERP system is the catalog, customers, sales orders and everything related to it. When a customer places an order, all prices, sales taxes, discounts, service charges – everything is calculated by the ERP system real-time based on any price rules that are in ERP, leaving no room for mistakes.
Order placement is not just adding the products to the shopping cart by a customer and paying for it. There are so many things that should be calculated, validated and processed that if your e-commerce solution is not ERP integrated you will be overwhelmed by all this logic.
There is so much logic hidden behind it – this is about keeping track of all your sales from the time the order is created to the time it is shipped, this is about prices, discounts, charges, taxes, invoices, shipment and inventory. With Sana Commerce Cloud there is no need to export, import or synchronize something. Everything is happening automatically, real-time and on the fly using the business logic of your ERP system at full capacity.
The Sana Commerce Cloud product consists of the Sana Commerce Cloud framework, webstore, Sana Admin and the Sana Commerce Cloud add-on which is installed inside your ERP system.
Security maintenance is essential for Sana Commerce Cloud. Thus, we keep security quality of the Sana Commerce Cloud product on the highest level. In addition to all the precautions that Sana takes to safeguard your webstore from potential threats, the most important data remains centralized in your ERP system. The ERP is already secure as well as connection between Sana and your ERP system.
