In 1999, Navision Software released its Web Shop storefront solution. This product quickly won awards as an innovative B2C solution and continues to be the top rated technology for integrated sales and customer self-service on the Internet.

Tightly integrated with Navision Software back-office applications, it automatically displays current prices and availability, and because Web Shop uses the business logic in Navision Financials, it manages all order activity without manual oversight or data entry.

Businesses need a simple, cost-effective way of exchanging electronic data and trading documents. Commerce Gateway uses Microsoft's BizTalk and introduces new document and transaction exchange standards based on the use of extensible markup language (XML).

Commerce Gateway also simplifies collaboration between Navision-based systems and other business management applications. Subsequent releases of Commerce Gateway will support electronic collaboration with Web-based trading hubs and online marketplaces.
