Merkury S.A.: a B2B Online Store Integrated with TEMA ERP

We rolled out an AMPER B2B online store for the leader in healthy food distribution and Poland's largest distributor of over-the-counter medicines outside pharmacies. The hardest parts were the integration with the TEMA ERP system and mapping the pricing conditions exactly.

The challenge

Large Scale, Complex Pricing and an ERP Where Everything Starts

Merkury's sales run on the TEMA ERP system. It holds the customers, the products and – above all – the pricing conditions. The online store had to show every customer exactly the price TEMA would calculate.

Given the size of the company, a standard integration would not have delivered the required performance. It had to be built specifically for Merkury.

Integration with TEMA ERP

An integration built specifically for Merkury's system and data.

Pricing conditions one-to-one

Price levels, discounts, individual prices and promotions must give the same result in the online store as in TEMA.

Performance at scale

Tens of thousands of customers and a wide product range call for fast data exchange.

The solution

How We Did It

We built the online store on AMPER B2B and developed the integration and the pricing rules specifically for Merkury.

  1. 01

    Integration

    Low-level access to the TEMA database

    Instead of intermediate layers, the integration works directly with the TEMA database. This keeps data exchange fast enough for the scale of Merkury's sales.

  2. 02

    Pricing

    Prices calculated by TEMA's rules

    AMPER maps the pricing conditions from TEMA and calculates each price in stages – the customer's price level, global price levels, category discounts, individual prices, promotions and the minimum price. Customers see the same price in the online store that TEMA would calculate.

  3. 03

    Orders and documents

    Data in both directions

    Orders from the online store reach TEMA together with the customer's own order number, and invoices from Merkury's system are available in the online store.

The results

What Merkury Gained

  • An online store on TEMA data

    Customers order at emerkurysa.pl around the clock, on up-to-date data from the ERP.

  • Prices consistent with the ERP

    The same pricing conditions in the online store and in TEMA – no manual copying of price lists.

  • Performance at scale

    The database-level integration keeps the online store fast with tens of thousands of customers.

  • Orders without re-entry

    Orders from the online store go straight to TEMA, and invoices come back to the customer in the online store.

Client opinion

“Our biggest challenge was mapping our pricing conditions from TEMA. Today a customer sees exactly the price our ERP would calculate, and the database-level integration keeps up with the scale of our sales.”
