The talk about EntityFlow
In our section on EntityFlow, we go through what an integration engine is, what problems it solves, and how companies can use it to create more stable and scalable data flows.
You will learn among other things:
- what EntityFlow is
- what challenges it solves
- how it differs from point-to-point integrations
- concrete customer examples
Integration as a strategic asset, not a burden
EntityFlow is our own integration engine, developed to provide our customers with a faster and more cost-effective start in integration projects. We have already prepared it with a robust and powerful framework, which can otherwise be both costly and complicated.
Instead of building several separate (P2P) point-to-point integrations, data flows are gathered in a central platform. This makes it easier to connect, for example, ERP, CMS, e-commerce, PIM, and other business-critical systems. The centralized architecture simplifies both development, maintenance, and further development. The result is a more stable, secure, and scalable solution that is easier to adapt as business needs change.
EntityFlow is based on a reusable and generic architecture with ready-made integrations to several common systems that many of our customers already use. This reduces complexity, shortens implementation time, and allows you to gain value from the investment more quickly.
This is how SP Maskiner modernized their integrations with EntityFlow
By using EntityFlow, SP Maskiner was able to replace older integrations with a more structured integration architecture. This provided more stable data flows between the systems and a solution that is easier to further develop over time.

List item to the main list: what does it mean for the website?
When a company moves from a growth market like First North or Spotlight to Nasdaq Stockholm's main list, the requirements for transparency, reporting, and corporate governance increase. This is also noticeable on the web. Here we describe what changes and how you can prepare the website for a listing change.

Time to switch platforms? Signs that the destination's website has done its job
Many destinations have a website that was built several years ago. It works, but every change takes time and costs money. Here we go through common signs that it is time to switch platforms and what a change can bring.

Therefore, the booking system and the website should communicate with each other.
A destination often uses several systems simultaneously. Accommodations are booked in one system, ticket purchases or activities in another, and the information about the guests is in a third. When the systems are not connected to each other, the information on the web becomes incorrect or must be moved manually. Here we explain what an integration means and what it does for both the guest and the staff.

From winter to summer: a website that adapts to the right season
For many destinations, the operations change several times a year. The ski slope becomes a bike park and the bathing season transitions into conference season. The website needs to keep up with each transition without a developer having to be involved every time. Here we go through what usually changes between the seasons and how a flexible website makes the switch easier for the editors.

Therefore, you are losing visitors on the way to booking and how you can get more to book directly.
Many who visit a destination's website have already decided to go there. They have read about the activities and compared accommodations but still leave the page without booking. Often, this is because the path to booking has too many steps or feels uncertain. In this post, we will go through common reasons why visitors drop off and how a clearer booking flow can get more people to book directly with you.

Central control, local freedom: who decides what on the group's websites?

IR-webb in two languages: therefore, the investor information needs to be available in English.
Foreign investors own a large portion of the shares on the Swedish stock exchange. For them, the English IR website is the company's face to the outside world. Yet, the English version is often thinner or less updated than the Swedish. Here we go through why language matters and how you can keep both versions up to date.

Can the group's companies share a web platform and still maintain their brands?
When a group wants to consolidate its websites, a common concern is that the companies will lose their identity. However, a shared platform does not mean that all websites have to look the same. Here we explain how multiple brands can share technology and features while still having their own expression.

This is how you keep the corporate governance section of the IR website up to date: Content and update procedures
The corporate governance section of the IR website is often the one that is updated the least frequently and therefore becomes outdated the easiest. At the same time, this is where investors and analysts look for information about who is in charge of the company and how. Here we go through what content is usually available and how it can be kept updated.

Ten companies, ten websites: when is it time to consolidate the group's websites?
In many corporations, each company has its own website, built at different times by different agencies in different systems. It works for a while, but over time the websites become expensive to manage and difficult to overview. Here we go through the signs that it is time to consolidate the websites and what the corporation gains from it. As an example, we explain how Toxic and Industrireklam consolidated the Weland Group's companies into Weland Light, a common template in Umbraco where changes are rolled out to multiple websites simultaneously.

Multiple facilities, one web platform: how to simplify everyday life for the editors
At many destinations, the hotel, restaurant, ski resort and campsite each have their own website, developed independently over time. The result is duplicated work for content editors and a fragmented experience for guests.

5 reasons why large organizations and associations choose Umbraco as a CMS

Editors struggle with things that should be simple, and the technology begins to set limits on what the organization can do. After working with organizations such as LRF, the Tenants' Association, and several sports federations, we see some recurring reasons why the choice often lands on Umbraco CMS.

Why more and more companies are digitizing their B2B sales and how it works
Many B2B companies still receive orders via email, phone, or through their salespeople. It often works well at first, but as the number of customers and order volumes grow, it becomes difficult to keep the information updated and the process becomes too time-consuming. This is one of the most common reasons why more B2B companies are now taking the step towards their own e-commerce platform. In this post, we will go through how orders are often handled today, what problems it creates, and how a digital platform changes the picture.

Therefore, you should stop stressing about your AI ranking.
The question arises everywhere: “How do we rank in ChatGPT?” It's a good question because AI search is starting to become an important channel for digital marketing and no one wants to risk falling behind. But before you hire someone who promises to “optimize your AI ranking,” you need to know something. There is no real ranking.

That's why you are losing customers in your B2B trade - and what you can do about it.
In B2C e-commerce, the purchasing experience often revolves around inspiring and enticing. In B2B, it's the opposite. Customers already know what they want, they have probably ordered it before and want to do it again – as quickly and smoothly as possible. Yet, it is surprisingly common for B2B stores to be built with the same logic as consumer retail. This creates unnecessary friction, frustrates customers, and leads to manual work that no one really has time for. So, what does a truly smooth purchasing experience look like in B2B?

When do organizations need to rebuild or redesign their website?
Many organizations use their website for many years without major changes. This is rarely a problem in itself – a website does not need to be rebuilt just because it is old. The problem arises when the technology, content, or visitors' needs have changed more than the website has managed to keep up. It is not always easy to see where the line is between "this we can fix" and "this requires us to rebuild from scratch." Here are four signs worth taking seriously.
