Multi-tenant e-commerce platform: multiple storefronts from one installation
A multi-tenant e-commerce platform runs multiple online shops from a single installation. With the channel concept in the CS Order Suite, each brand, country, or customer group gets its own storefront with its own design and its own product range – all managed from one central data source with a single backend and a single ERP integration.
Why one shop installation per brand gets expensive.
Set up a separate shop for every brand or country, and you quickly end up running three, four, or more independent systems. Each one needs its own updates, its own maintenance, and its own ERP connection – and costs grow with every additional shop.
Even more expensive is data drift: products, prices, and customer records are maintained in several places, and changes reach some shops late – or not at all. And every new brand or country market means a complete shop project from scratch.
How does the channel concept work?
In the CS Order Suite, every shop is a channel of the same installation. Each brand, country, or customer group gets its own storefront – with its own design, optionally its own domain, and its own product range. Everything is managed in one place.
Design & domain per channel
Every storefront carries its brand's look and feel and can run under its own domain. Customers see a standalone shop – not the technology behind it.
Control products per channel
Which products appear in which shop is defined per channel. That way every brand, country, and customer group gets exactly the right assortment.
One backend, one ERP integration
All channels share one data source and one backend. Products, stock levels, customer-specific prices, and orders are synchronized with the ERP once – currently via the adapter for SAP Business One – and are available to every shop.
How do manufacturers and wholesalers use multiple channels?
Multi-brand manufacturers
A manufacturer with several product brands gives each brand its own shop with its own design and product range – without building a new system for every brand.
Country storefronts
One dedicated channel per country with a tailored product range. The CS Order Suite is multilingual: German, English, and Chinese run in a single installation – learn more about the multilingual B2B shop.
Customer groups kept cleanly separate
The dealer shop stays protected: new customers register, go through account verification, and only see their customer-specific prices from the ERP after approval – each customer group in its own dedicated channel.
When does a multi-tenant shop system pay off?
As soon as you serve more than one sales channel – a second brand, another country, or a separate dealer channel – central management saves ongoing effort compared to separate installations. Instead of multiple systems, there is one backend and one ERP integration feeding every shop.
It is built for mid-sized manufacturers and wholesalers in the DACH region that need a dealer or workshop shop with ERP integration. We discuss pricing on request in a demo call – tailored to your channels and your ERP.
