Webshop with ERP system integration
Linum Europe is a professional supplier of equipment and furniture for the hospitality industry, operating in Benelux, France and DACH. With more than 20,000 products in its catalogue, Linum wanted not only to create a robust webshop for its customers, but also to ensure its ERP system is properly integrated to streamline data maintenance.
Solution
A web solution integrating the Centric ERP system
Based on the client brief, IDcreation developed a custom, efficient, user-friendly web solution that fully integrates Linum’s ERP system Centric, which is used for product and customer data management.
Solution Features
Centric Trade features integrated
The key features of the comprehensive web solution include:

An incremental .xml file import feature, ensuring inventory and customer data from Centric is swiftly replicated onto the website - Rapid, dynamic web page loading by incorporating AJAX web browser technology
