What the solution is
Litium is a Swedish commerce platform that has been in the market for a long time and holds a solid position in the Swedish mid-market. The platform covers both business and consumer selling from the same installation, and a product information system is part of the product rather than an add-on.
The integration to Business Central is BRC Connect from BrightCom Solutions, today part of the Exsitec group. Exsitec is an established Nordic consultancy, which in itself signals that there is an organisation behind it rather than an individual. We have not, however, been able to find technical documentation for the connector.
How the integration works
We cannot describe it precisely. A connector of this type normally moves items, prices, stock, customers and orders between the platform and Business Central on a schedule or continuously, but we have not been able to confirm the directions, the interval or the error handling for BRC Connect specifically.
Those fields therefore stand as not stated in the table below. That is not a claim that the solution cannot. It is a statement that we have not found material a buyer can lean on, and that it is therefore something to settle directly with the vendor.
A connector from a consultancy is a different kind of product from an app on AppSource. It is often closer to your needs, because the same house also does the implementation, and it often lacks the same public version history. Ask to have it clarified whether BRC Connect is a product with releases or a delivery built per customer. That is the question deciding which cell the solution actually belongs in.
Prices, discounts and agreements
Litium has its own price engine with customer-specific prices and price lists, and it is used in B2B setups. The agreed price can therefore live in the platform, in Business Central or in both, and what actually happens depends on how the connector is configured.
We have recorded customer-specific prices as a transferred result, because that is the ordinary model for a connector of this type to a platform with its own price engine. The other price rows stand as not stated.
Campaigns and bundles belong in Litium. That gives the label for logic set up in two places, and it makes the division of labour the most important decision in the implementation. Decide whether the ERP or the platform owns the agreed price, and write it down.
The order and the finance function
The order is written to Business Central, and from there it runs in the ERP's own flow with shipping and invoicing. That is the core of the integration's value.
Error handling is not documented. With a connector from a consultancy it is often solved sensibly in practice, but that is not the same as being described, and it belongs in an operating agreement with a name and a response time.
VAT is decided by the platform for open selling. If you sell in several Nordic countries, the VAT setup has to be maintained in Litium and agree with Business Central's.
Who the solution fits
The solution can fit a Swedish or Nordic company selling both to business and to consumers, and which wants platform, product information and implementation from Nordic hands. The built-in product information system is a real argument when the item card in Business Central is thin.
It also fits if you already work with Exsitec. Then the connector is part of an existing relationship, and the risk from the missing public documentation becomes smaller because responsibility is placed.
The solution fits less well if you need to read your way to a decision without talking to a vendor. There the solutions in the catalogue with open documentation are a better starting point.
What to settle before you decide
Ask whether BRC Connect is a product or a delivery. If there are releases, version numbers and an upgrade path, the solution belongs in the cell with a finished integration. If it is built per customer, it belongs in the cell where the company owns the configuration, and that changes both price and risk.
Ask to have the pricing logic described field by field. That is the largest gap in our research, and it is also what matters most to a B2B buyer.
The catalogue also names Maksimer's standard integration and Toxic EntityFlow as alternative routes from Litium to Business Central. If the answers from BrightCom are unsatisfactory, those two are worth looking at before ruling Litium out.
