Enterprise B2B E-Commerce Platform & Cloud Architecture

The project required a modern B2B e-commerce platform capable of supporting complex product, pricing, customer, shipping and ordering workflows while integrating with an enterprise ERP system.

The application needed to provide a responsive modern frontend while maintaining a robust backend architecture for business logic, product synchronization, customer accounts, commerce operations and external integrations.

The production environment also required enterprise-level cloud architecture with strong security controls, database resilience, backup and disaster-recovery considerations, and a controlled deployment process.

The platform therefore had to address both application complexity and infrastructure reliability rather than treating the project as a conventional marketing or brochure website.

As Full-Stack Developer & Cloud/DevOps Architect, Softphoria led the end-to-end development of the B2B commerce platform, including the Next.js frontend, Laravel backend/API, ERP integration, payment workflows, AWS infrastructure, security architecture, deployment and production operations.

Modern B2B Commerce Platform

Built a custom B2B e-commerce platform around the operational requirements of a confidential enterprise B2B distributor in the renewable-energy distribution sector.

The platform supports structured product catalogues, customer accounts, commerce workflows, pricing, shipping configuration and online ordering through a modern web application architecture.

Next.js Frontend

Developed the frontend using Next.js and TypeScript, providing a modern, responsive and component-driven user experience.

The frontend communicates with the Laravel backend/API and supports dynamic product, pricing, stock, category, brand and commerce data.

Laravel Backend & API

Developed the backend using Laravel as the application/API layer.

The backend manages business logic, authentication, products, pricing, customer-related workflows, shipping configuration, ERP synchronization, payment integration and other application services.

NetSuite ERP Integration

Implemented integration with NetSuite through API-based communication.

The integration connects the e-commerce platform with the enterprise ERP environment and supports synchronization of business data required by the online commerce platform.

Product Synchronization

Implemented automated product synchronization between the ERP system and the Laravel application.

The synchronization architecture processes product data in controlled batches and updates the application's product catalogue and related information.

The implementation includes synchronization of relevant product metadata, categories, brands, attributes, pricing groups and inventory-related information where applicable.

Customer & Pricing Architecture

Implemented B2B-oriented customer and pricing functionality to support business-specific purchasing workflows.

The architecture supports customer/group pricing and related commerce rules required for an enterprise trade environment.

Shipping & Carrier Management

Implemented structured shipping and carrier functionality, including:

• Shipping regions/zones

• Carriers

• Carrier ranges

• Range-based pricing

• Shipping rules

• Transit-related configuration

• Status controls

• Product/shipping relationships

• Regional configuration

The system provides the administrative flexibility required to manage complex B2B delivery rules.

Smart Product / Kit Configuration

Implemented advanced product configuration functionality, including interactive product/kit configuration designed to help customers assemble compatible product combinations.

Payment Integration

Integrated Stripe for online payments, with secure payment processing and 3D Secure authentication where required.

Enterprise AWS Architecture

Designed and configured production infrastructure on AWS with a focus on security, resilience and controlled access. The architecture includes:

• AWS VPC

• Network segmentation

• Private application resources

• AWS RDS

• Controlled database access

• Security groups

• Load balancing where applicable

• Web application protection

• Production monitoring and operational controls

Database Infrastructure

Implemented MySQL-compatible relational database infrastructure using Amazon RDS.

The database layer was designed to provide managed production database capabilities, controlled access, backup support and improved operational resilience.

Web Security

Implemented additional AWS-level security protections, including:

• AWS WAF

• AWS Shield

• Security-group restrictions

• Private network access

• Controlled application/database communication

• Production hardening

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Designed production backup and disaster-recovery considerations around the AWS environment and managed database infrastructure.

The architecture includes backup strategies and recovery planning intended to reduce operational risk and improve resilience.

CI/CD & Deployment

Implemented a controlled Git-based CI/CD and server-level deployment workflow with production verification.

Production Infrastructure Operations

Handled production server configuration, application deployment, web-server configuration and infrastructure-level operational tasks required to keep the platform running reliably.

AI-Assisted Development

AI-assisted development workflows using Claude were incorporated into the engineering process to accelerate implementation, debugging, code analysis and documentation while maintaining developer-led architecture and review.

Delivered a production-ready enterprise B2B commerce platform combining a modern Next.js frontend with a Laravel backend, ERP integration, secure online payments and a resilient AWS production environment.

The resulting platform provides a scalable foundation for complex B2B commerce workflows while giving the business a more flexible digital purchasing experience and tighter integration with its enterprise back-office systems.

The project also demonstrates end-to-end technical ownership across application development, ERP/API integration, payment processing, database architecture, AWS infrastructure, security, disaster recovery, deployment and production operations.
