Approach / Work done

A transactional B2B website was built based on Magento Commerce.

Custom catalog sync logic was created to process full catalog re-import occurring on a daily basis. Raw data dumped from the ERP has to be transformed before it can be imported into Magento catalog.
Implemented integration with the ERP via connector module that takes over Magento cart and checkout .
Implemented custom authentication logic with the ERP serving as an authentication authority ;
Applied a number of UI customizations to enforce seamless user experience across 2 different subdomains ;
Customized Magento browsing experience to restrict product display and search based on customer groups assigned in the ERP ;
Customized Magento back-end and the way it works with data, to prevent lock-ups during catalog import;

Once the website was launched, a number of incremental improvements was made, included Magento subversion upgrades, various improvements to user experience, performance optimization, automatic alert mechanism, etc.
