Case study: from Sana to Miva for a truck and classic parts supplier
A leading U.S. supplier of truck and classic car aftermarket parts sells to distributors, retailers and consumers. Its Sana storefront depended directly on the ERP, and Shopify and Amazon listings were updated by hand. We:
- Made Akeneo PIM the central product data hub, fed by Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
- Helped replace the Sana storefront with Miva as the primary commerce engine.
- Configured 300+ catalog behavior rules to govern how products appear and sell.
- Decoupled commerce from the ERP, so storefront changes no longer depend on ERP releases.
