Why do omnichannel and multichannel get stuck on a standard e-commerce platform?

You sell through multiple channels, but your systems are often built for one. Most platforms revolve around a single online store. Physical stores, marketplaces and extra stock locations are added later, through separate apps, plugins and integrations.

The result: product data that differs per channel, inventory that doesn’t add up, click & collect and returns that don’t quite work, and an IT landscape that grows faster than revenue.

The problem isn’t your team. It’s the architecture.

Picture this: a customer sees online that your Utrecht store still has the coat, reserves it and picks it up the same afternoon.

How do you switch without losing your Google rankings?

The biggest fear when switching is downtime. That’s why NextChapter Ecommerce uses a fixed, proven migration approach. Plan the switch well before your busiest period, so you’re live before it counts.

Data moved carefully

Product information, customers, order history and loyalty data are validated and tested before go-live.

SEO protected

URLs, redirects, metadata and technical SEO are part of the migration plan as standard.

Controlled go-live

Systems tested, teams prepared, and the switch planned so your organisation notices as little as possible.

Never migrate again

Cloud-native SaaS without versions, built and hosted in Europe. Your platform is always up to date, automatically.

Frequently asked questions about an omnichannel and multichannel platform

What is NextChapter Ecommerce?

NextChapter Ecommerce is an omnichannel and multichannel commerce suite for retailers, brands and enterprises: online store, CMS, PIM, OMS and a connector in one cloud-native platform, built and hosted in Europe.

What is an omnichannel commerce platform?

One platform where online store, physical stores, inventory, orders and product data come together. Customers see the same products and the same stock in every channel, and store and online store work as one instead of through separate integrations.

What is the difference between omnichannel and multichannel?

Omnichannel is about online and offline as one: online store and physical stores share stock, orders and customer data, so a customer can order online and collect in store. Multichannel is about selling through many channels at once, such as your own online store, marketplaces, wholesale and dealers. NextChapter Ecommerce supports both from one platform.

Who is NextChapter Ecommerce suited for?

For organisations that sell through multiple channels and want stock, orders and product data in one system. Retailers use it omnichannel, with stores and online store as one. Brands use it multichannel, for D2C, wholesale, B2B, dealers and marketplaces. Enterprises use it for multiple brands and countries. If you sell through a single online store, a lighter platform is often enough, and we’ll tell you so honestly.

How much does NextChapter Ecommerce cost?

The Retail and Brand suites start from €1,999 a month, with a one-off setup of €25,000. The licence scales with your API usage. The Enterprise suite is on request.

What is the difference between NextChapter Ecommerce and Shopify?

Shopify is strong for a fast online store, but PIM, OMS and B2B are added through apps and integrations. With NextChapter Ecommerce they are included in the suite as standard, built for organisations that sell through multiple channels.

What is the difference between NextChapter Ecommerce and Magento?

You largely host and maintain Magento yourself, and you choose and integrate PIM and OMS separately. NextChapter Ecommerce is cloud-native SaaS without versions, so you never have to upgrade or migrate again.

What is the difference between a PIM and an OMS?

A PIM manages your product information, such as copy, attributes and images, for all channels. An OMS manages orders and inventory across stores, warehouses and suppliers. In NextChapter Ecommerce both are in the same suite.

Does NextChapter Ecommerce also work for B2B?

Yes. B2B online stores and dealer portals run on the same foundation as your consumer online store. LOOkX, for example, uses it for B2C, a B2B dealer portal and marketplaces.

Which systems does NextChapter Ecommerce connect with?

With more than 300 proven integrations, including ERP, POS, WMS, payments, fulfilment and marketplaces. You can extend further through open APIs.

How much freedom do I have with a prebuilt suite?

You decide your own content, channels, marketing, promotions and integrations, and can extend through APIs. Only the foundation and templates are ready-made, which saves time and cost.

Will I lose my SEO when I switch?

Not if the migration is properly prepared. URLs, redirects, metadata and technical SEO are a standard part of NextChapter Ecommerce’s migration plan, so your organic visibility is preserved as much as possible. That is how Modehuis Ter Horst van Geel switched with 10 stores and its online store; the managing director called it a textbook migration.

Where is my data stored?

NextChapter Ecommerce is built and hosted in Europe. Your customer, order and product data are therefore stored in Europe and fall under European privacy rules, such as the GDPR. For many retailers and brands that is a deliberate choice, because they know exactly where their customer data is stored.

Why go through Growth Sharks rather than NextChapter Ecommerce directly?

Growth Sharks guides the switch from the first demo and knows the integrations with your POS, ERP and other tools. When Modehuis Ter Horst van Geel went live, NextChapter Ecommerce thanked us publicly for the collaboration. You sign the contract directly with NextChapter Ecommerce, and our advice is free.
