OnlineRetailer – June 27, 2019
Looking for a powerful B2B online store that integrates seamlessly with your ERP system? Look no further. GeCommerce is a comprehensive and successful e-commerce solution, fully integrated with the business management system Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Dynamics 365 Business Central.
A conversation with Daan Proost From Alistar on this new (and affordable) standard in e-commerce…
“B2B companies, in particular, are increasingly recognizing the benefits of an e-commerce platform,” Leijssen begins. “Unfortunately, they are often deterred by the complexity and high costs. With GeCommerce, we offer them an affordable alternative that allows them to populate their online store directly from their ERP system.”
As a renowned Microsoft Dynamics partner, we manage and maintain the ERP systems for many companies. With GeCommerce, we now offer those same companies the opportunity to get started with e-commerce as well.

High-Performance Combination
GeCommerce is fully powered by the ERP system. “Our vision is that customers should be able to run the online store themselves. The front-end template is designed so that a professional-looking online store can be easily built based on the existing product database. So, in effect, the online store inherits the entire behavior of the existing business,” explains Leijssen. “All files, images, videos, technical data sheets, etc., are stored in the cloud via our Content Delivery Network (CDN). A unique ID is generated in Navision, which the online store software reads and displays at lightning speed. This way, the ERP system isn’t ‘cluttered’ with large files. The result is a highly efficient combination.”
One back office
Leijssen believes that many companies still do not fully realize that an e-commerce channel can mean more than just allowing existing customers to place orders online.
A well-designed online store that also ranks highly in search engines can also be viewed as a lead management tool and a recruitment channel for new customers.
As a Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Dynamics 365 Business Central partner, we now offer our existing customers a single channel—a one-stop-shop for all their needs. They no longer need to engage an external party for their e-commerce channel. Everything is also managed from a single back office, which is a major advantage. It’s even possible to implement a multi-company strategy from that single back office—for example, two separate e-commerce channels: a premium online store and an outlet online store for clearance items.
GeCommerce
GeCommerce has a very short implementation time. “In just four hours, we can already present an initial proposal—a proof of concept—to our clients. The total turnaround time for a project is then only twenty business days.” Leijssen therefore advises companies not to wait any longer:
Now is the time to give your business a boost online, too. With GeCommerce, you can do that in an affordable and accessible way.
