Yes. Core dna writes to SAP through custom endpoints. It looks up or creates the customer, builds the sales order with the right routing, reserves inventory, and hands off to logistics. For V-ZUG, an order that took around 15 minutes to raise by hand now takes a couple of minutes.
Core dna integrates with SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Infor, Epicor, and Sage, syncing inventory, pricing, product data, and orders in both directions. Core dna's integrations are part of the platform. Your storefront always shows accurate stock and pricing without manual updates.
Core dna is a fully managed, Zero-Plugin SaaS platform, meaning we take 100% operational responsibility for your infrastructure. Unlike a WordPress-Shopify hybrid for example, which requires a dedicated team to manage plugin conflicts, manual security patches, and server scaling, Core dna automates these tasks at the engine level.
- Automated Security & Patching: We handle all core upgrades and security patches automatically. Because our features are native rather than third-party plugins, you never have to worry about an update "breaking" your site logic.
Core dna seamlessly connects with your existing tools to create a unified ecosystem—whether it’s HR systems, CRMs, or third-party platforms, our API-first architecture and pre-built integrations ensure smooth data flow. This means your team can work more efficiently without the hassle of manual processes or disjointed systems."
We prioritize your organization’s security with a robust, multi-layered approach—role-based permissions allow you to control access at every level, while our cloud infrastructure adheres to enterprise-grade standards like GDPR compliance. Our dedicated team also provides 24/7 monitoring to keep your data safe and secure, giving you peace of mind.
Core dna is framework agnostic.
An agnostic framework means you can create any design using the front-end technology and frameworks that you know and love.

Core dna is fully GDPR compliant. You can find our commitment here - https://www.coredna.com/gdpr
GDPR is short for the General Data Protection Regulation that went into effect on May 25, 2018. Its purpose is to support privacy as a fundamental human right and therefore give EU residents rights over how their personal data is processed or otherwise used.
With ERP systems, there are a number of different data points that you might be interested in passing back and forth. Here are some of the most common:
- Order data
- Shipments
- Customers
- Inventory
- Product data
- Customer groups
- Invoice data
- Transactions
If there is an API available for your ERP system, Core dna can integrate directly with your ERP using the API to call/push the data that you are looking for. We currently have API level integrations with some of the more popular systems including Microsoft Dynamics and SAP. Often times, however, you may be using a legacy system that does not have an API. We can use secure FTP or CSV files to then connect and pass data to and from Core dna.
Core dna makes PCI compliance easy by offering integrated payment gateways that allow merchants to securely transmit credit card data via direct post API methods or with hosted payment forms provided by the payment gateway and integrated with the merchant’s checkout pages.
The Direct Post method allows for information to be sent directly to the payment gateway without sensitive data flowing through or stored on the Core dna application server. We currently have over 20 integrated payment gateways. If we do not have the one you are currently using, we are happy to integrate with it for you.
Core dna is designed on open, component-based architecture to be a flexible environment that can be easily managed. The architecture supports a range of operations and has been tested on both Unix and Windows based platforms. This helps to reduce problems that can arise from different operating systems and allows flexibility during deployment. The presentation layer supports an interaction with the business logic through the services layer. It allows the flexibility for each of our clients to control the look and feel of their website as well as the functional modules they wish to deliver.
The technology is built on the scaleable technology stack. Linux base operating system, Apache HTTPd web server, MariaDB database layer and PHP development language. The front end stack is agnostic and we have developed solutions using a variety of front end frameworks including Bootstrap, Foundation, UI kit, AngularJS, React.
