## Short answer

Sana Commerce is a B2B web store that reads pricing, stock and order history directly from the ERP in real time. The source for this pairing is an implementation agency page, not a vendor specification, so confirm supported SyteLine versions and the connector method with Sana or your implementation partner.

## Erp

Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine)

## Erp Key

syteline

## On Prem

true

## Product

Sana Commerce

## Vendor

Sana Commerce

## Category

B2B e-commerce

## Integration

**Method:** ERP-integrated storefront

**Detail:** Sana is built around reading ERP data live rather than keeping a separate catalogue copy. The agency page describes a SyteLine integration; ask Sana for the supported CSI versions and whether it is certified.

**Method:** SyteLine side: IDOs and application logic

**Detail:** On SyteLine, live reads and order creation commonly go through Mongoose IDOs or the REST interface to them, so SyteLine pricing, credit and inventory logic apply. This is common practice, not a statement from the source.

## Data Flows

**From:** SyteLine

**To:** Sana

**Data:** Items, customer-specific prices, discounts, stock availability

**Trigger:** Page view or search (live) or scheduled sync

**From:** Sana

**To:** SyteLine

**Data:** Customer orders with lines, ship-to and requested date

**Trigger:** Customer places order

**From:** SyteLine

**To:** Sana

**Data:** Order status, shipments, invoices

**Trigger:** Status change or customer view

**From:** SyteLine

**To:** Sana

**Data:** Customer credit hold and payment terms

**Trigger:** Checkout or order submit

## Setup

### Confirm versions and method

**Detail:** Verify the SyteLine release and connector approach with Sana or your partner.

### Clean item and customer data

**Detail:** Fix descriptions, images, units of measure and web-visible flags.

### Align price logic

**Detail:** Confirm that customer price lists, quantity breaks and contract prices in SyteLine return correctly to the store.

### Map customer accounts

**Detail:** Link web users to SyteLine customers, bill-to and ship-to addresses.

### Define order handling

**Detail:** Decide whether web orders create customer orders directly or go to review.

### Test performance

**Detail:** Check page speed under real catalog size and concurrent users.

### Go live in stages

**Detail:** Start with a few customers and measure support calls.

## Pitfalls

- Slow pages because live ERP calls are made for large catalogs.
- Prices in the store not matching the quote or invoice because of unmapped discount rules.
- Stock shown that includes reserved or in-transit quantity.
- Customers seeing items or prices they are not entitled to.
- Orders failing on credit hold with unclear messages to the buyer.
- SyteLine upgrades or customisations breaking the connector.

## Ai Layer

### Order failure explanations

**Description:** A private assistant reads failed web orders and SyteLine records, explains the cause (credit hold, invalid item, UoM) and drafts a customer-service reply for review.

### Price mismatch checks

**Description:** Compare web prices to SyteLine pricing for sample customers and list discrepancies.

### Product data gaps

**Description:** Find items missing descriptions, images or web flags and draft content for approval.

### On-prem option

**Description:** Run models on your own servers so customer pricing and order data are not sent to an outside AI provider.

## Alternatives

- SyteLine's own web or self-service options if requirements are basic.
- A custom portal built on SyteLine's REST interface for narrow use cases.
- EDI for large customers who prefer to send orders from their own systems.

## Faq

### How does Sana get data from SyteLine?

**Answer:** The agency page describes Sana as reading pricing, stock and order history directly from the ERP in real time. The exact connector, supported versions and any SyteLine customisation needed should be confirmed with Sana or your implementation partner.

### Is real-time access always better?

**Answer:** Not always. Live calls keep data accurate but can slow pages on big catalogs or when the ERP is busy. Some data, such as product descriptions, is often better cached while price and stock stay live.

### Can AI help support B2B web orders?

**Answer:** Yes, as a read-only helper on your own infrastructure. It can explain why an order failed or a price differs by reading both systems. Any change to customer, price or order data should be approved by a person.
