The Sana Commerce agency for the storefront, not the ERP.
Sana steers buyers to an ERP implementation partner for the backend, and that is the right call. But those partners rarely do storefront design, theming, UX, or front-end work. That gap is exactly what we fill. ProjectThunder is a Sana-certified web and design agency that handles the storefront craft alongside your ERP partner, not instead of them.
ERP partner vs web agency: who owns what.
Sana Commerce is sold and scoped around the ERP, so its partner network is built from ERP implementation specialists (VARs). They are excellent at the backend. They are usually not staffed for storefront design or front-end craft. Knowing which role owns which problem saves a lot of finger-pointing later. If you are still choosing a platform, our Sana Commerce vs BigCommerce comparison covers that decision.
Your ERP / Sana implementation partner owns
- ERP integration: connecting Sana to SAP or Microsoft Dynamics so the storefront reads the system of record.
- Pricing & data logic: customer-specific pricing, contracts, stock, credit holds, and order posting.
- Order flows: how a web order becomes a clean sales order back in the ERP.
- Provisioning: environments, connectors, and the licensing relationship with Sana.
A Sana Commerce web agency owns
- Storefront design: the look, the brand expression, and a real design system on top of Sana's framework.
- UX & IA: navigation, search, and the buyer journey, tuned for how B2B accounts actually shop.
- Front-end: theme and template customization within Sana's supported model.
- Performance, accessibility & conversion: Core Web Vitals, WCAG, and turning traffic into orders.
What a Sana Commerce web agency actually does.
This is storefront craft inside the Sana framework. None of it competes with your ERP partner. All of it is the part of the project that buyers actually see and judge.
Theme & design system
- Custom Sana themes built on the platform's design system rather than fighting it
- Reusable components, tokens, and patterns so the store stays consistent as it grows
- Brand expression that still reads as a serious B2B buying tool
UX & information architecture
- Navigation and category structure mapped to how real accounts find products
- Search, faceting, and merchandising tuned for deep B2B catalogs
- Reorder, account, and quoting journeys made obvious instead of buried
Front-end customization
- Template and layout work within Sana's supported theming model
- Upgrade-safe changes that hold up across Sana releases
- Clean handoff with your ERP partner where front-end meets data
Performance & Core Web Vitals
- Real-world page-speed work measured against Core Web Vitals
- Image, asset, and rendering tuning for heavy catalog pages
- Field-data monitoring, not just one-off lab scores
Accessibility
- WCAG-oriented audits and fixes across the buyer journey
- Keyboard, screen-reader, and contrast work baked into the theme
- Accessibility treated as part of quality, not a bolt-on
Conversion & merchandising polish
- Conversion-rate work across product, cart, and checkout
- Catalog and merchandising polish so the right products surface first
- Iterative changes measured against B2B-specific goals like reorder rate
How we work with your ERP partner.
We are additive. You keep the partner who owns your Sana Commerce Cloud integration, and we take the storefront. A clear line between the two roles is what keeps the project calm.
Clear ownership lines.
Your ERP partner owns the data and integration. We own design, UX, and front-end. We agree on the seam where they meet before we touch anything, so nobody steps on the other's work.
Upgrade-safe changes.
We stay inside Sana's supported theming and extension model. That keeps design and front-end work from breaking when Sana ships an upgrade, and it keeps the integration team's surface untouched.
Shared environments.
We work in the same staging and release path your partner uses, test storefront changes against the real integration, and ship in coordination so pricing, stock, and orders are never put at risk.
What you actually get.
Concrete storefront work, scoped to sit alongside your ERP partner. See examples of the craft in our portfolio.
Sana Commerce agency, answered.
Do I need a web agency if I already have a Sana or ERP partner?
Usually yes, because they solve different problems. Your Sana or ERP implementation partner owns the backend: the ERP integration, pricing logic, order flows, and the data the storefront reads. That work is essential, but it rarely includes storefront design, a real design system, UX and information architecture, front-end polish, accessibility, or conversion work. A web agency fills that gap. We work alongside your ERP partner, not instead of them.
Can you work with our existing Sana implementation?
Yes. A live Sana Commerce Cloud store is a common starting point for us. We audit the current theme, UX, performance, and accessibility, then improve the storefront in place. We coordinate with whoever owns your ERP integration so design and front-end changes do not disturb pricing, stock, or order flows. You keep your ERP partner and add the storefront craft on top.
Will customizations survive Sana upgrades?
That is the whole game, and it depends on how the work is built. We stay inside Sana's supported theming and extension model rather than hacking around it, so design-system and front-end changes are upgrade-safe by design. Where a request would fight the platform, we say so and propose an approach that holds up through Sana releases. We cannot promise zero maintenance across every future version, but we build to minimize it.
Are you an ERP reseller?
No. ProjectThunder is a web design and development agency and a Sana-certified partner, not an ERP VAR or reseller. We do not sell SAP or Microsoft Dynamics licenses or run your ERP implementation. We handle the storefront: design, theming, UX, front-end, performance, accessibility, and conversion, and we coordinate with the partner who owns your ERP.
