How the Platform is Structured
The platform is made up of a few core components. They can be used independently or combined depending on what you’re building.| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| JTL-Wawi | The ERP at the center of the platform: products, inventory, orders, and customers all live here. |
| JTL Hub | The API layer, webhooks, and infrastructure you’ll use to build cloud apps and integrations. |
| App Shell | The container that hosts your app’s UI. It handles layout, navigation, and communication with the rest of the platform. |
| App Store | Where merchants go to discover and install apps. |
| ERP Cloud | The cloud-based interface where your installed app actually runs. |
| Marketplace Channels | Tools and APIs for connecting to external marketplaces like Amazon and eBay. |
What You Can Build
JTL Cloud gives you the tools to extend the platform in several directions:- Cloud apps that plug directly into the JTL platform
- Marketplace integrations that sync products, orders, and inventory with external channels
- ERP integrations that automate internal business workflows
- Event-driven systems that react to changes via webhooks
What Makes JTL Different
JTL is designed around multi-channel commerce at scale, and that shapes how everything works, from how data flows to how integrations are structured.- ERP-first design: Wawi is the single source of truth. Products, inventory, and orders always originate there, which means your integrations don’t have to reconcile conflicting data from multiple sources.
- Multi-channel from the ground up: The platform is built to keep data in sync across stores, marketplaces, and internal systems, so you’re not bolting on multi-channel support after the fact.
- Built for real operations: Workflows include retries, conflict handling, and batch processing, the kind of things you need when data has to move reliably at scale.
- Extensible without forking: You can build custom integrations, cloud apps, and automation workflows that plug into the platform without touching the core system.
