- [B2B Ecommerce Platform UK](https://coretonomy.com/b2b-websites): What a B2B ecommerce platform must do that a D2C one does not (customer-specific pricing, account terms, back orders, catalogue visibility), how to shortlist one, and the live UK trade platforms Coretonomy runs
- [ERP Integration](https://coretonomy.com/erp-integration): The hub page for ERP integration in wholesale ecommerce — the six record types that move (products, stock, prices, customers, orders, invoices), the four ways integration gets built (point-to-point, file feeds, generic middleware, purpose-built hub), the connectors Coretonomy publishes, and honest answers on cost, timescale, real-time vs scheduled sync, and post-go-live ownership
- [B2B Ordering Platform](https://coretonomy.com/b2b-ordering-platform): What a B2B ordering platform must handle for a UK wholesaler — customer-specific pricing, account terms, back orders, quantity rules, rep ordering — why the ERP connection is the actual product, and an honest untangling of ordering app vs trade portal vs B2B webshop
- [Best B2B Ecommerce Platform? An Honest Comparison of Five Ways](https://coretonomy.com/b2b-platform-comparison): An ungated comparison of the five realistic ways to put trade ordering online — Shopify's native B2B, a B2B app layered on Shopify, a standalone ordering portal, an ERP vendor's own webshop, and a dedicated integrated platform — with what each is good at, what it costs you, and an explicit section on who Coretonomy is the wrong answer for. Every claim about another product links to that vendor's own documentation; carries a last-checked date and a correction invitation

- [Which ERP Systems Integrate With Shopify?](https://coretonomy.com/blog/which-erp-systems-integrate-with-shopify): Why "does it integrate?" sorts nothing, the three routes a Shopify-to-ERP connection takes (first-party app, middleware, purpose-built), what first-party connectors do not cover for trade businesses, and the Brightpearl-by-Sage naming trap — Brightpearl is not Sage's own ERP range
- [ERP-First vs ERP-Last eCommerce](https://coretonomy.com/blog/erp-first-vs-erp-last-ecommerce): Why wholesale digital projects fail when ERP is treated as an afterthought, and how ERP-first architecture reduces risk

The Answer for UK Wholesalers](https://coretonomy.com/blog/do-we-use-shopify-for-b2b): Why Coretonomy does not use Shopify for B2B wholesale, why UK wholesalers running an ERP need a different architecture (including where Shopify's 2026 all-plans B2B rollout still falls short), and where Shopify does fit — D2C channels
