Frequently asked questions
Yes. Core dna is designed to run B2B wholesale portals and D2C consumer storefronts from a single instance. Each channel has its own pricing, catalog access, checkout experience, and branding, but they share the same product data, content team, and admin. This is the core use case Core dna was built for manufacturers who need a consumer channel without walking away from their wholesale and distribution operation.
Core dna integrates with SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor, Epicor, and Sage, syncing inventory, pricing, product data, and orders in both directions. Core dna's integrations are part of the platform. Your storefront always shows accurate stock and pricing without manual updates.
Core dna supports account-based pricing, group-specific pricing, and channel-level rules. You can assign different pricing to distributors, internal teams, and direct customers, all within the same system, without duplicating products or maintaining separate catalogues.
Core dna provides a structured catalogue system that integrates directly with your ERP. You can manage product data through imports, workflows, and rules, rather than manual entry. This allows teams to onboard and update products efficiently while maintaining consistency across channels.
