- You need direct 2-way sync
- You want to launch in weeks
01 / Where Magento is strong
A serious platform with real depth.
Magento (Adobe Commerce) is a serious option. Here is where it fits best.
02
B2B features in Adobe Commerce
Company accounts, quotes, and price lists are available in the paid edition.
03
A large extension ecosystem
Extensions and partners can add B2B, ERP, and marketing capabilities.
02 / Where Nomad is different
The website is built around the ERP.
Nomad is narrower by design. One set of ERP facts. One clean buying path.
01
The ERP holds the facts
Nomad is built around the ERP link, not a separate store data model.
02
Complex rules in the buying path
Contract prices, PO uploads, configurators, and portals are built in.
03
A shorter path to launch
One team owns the website, ERP link, and buying flow.
03 / The ERP question
Why the ERP connection matters more than anything else.
The website is only as good as the data behind it.
The point
Where does the website end and the ERP begin?
Magento can model a large business, but the platform and integration work is a real project.
Nomad starts from the ERP. Prices, stock, terms, and orders flow directly to the website.
Choose Magento for deep custom commerce. Choose Nomad when the ERP drives every price and order.

05 / Questions to ask
The questions we would ask in your place.
A good demo answers these with a live example, not a slide.
Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source are different products. Confirm the edition, B2B features, and support model.
Ask whether a Magento partner, systems integrator, or your own team owns the connection and its support.
Include hosting, extensions, upgrades, development, and the team needed to run the platform.
When the ERP holds complex pricing, stock, and order rules and you want a shorter path to launch.
