Lidia Commerce Engine services and enterprise system integrations

Lidia Core is the core component of the Lidia Commerce Platform, providing the centralized commerce engine that powers digital commerce operations behind the scenes.

Designed for mid-sized and enterprise organizations, Lidia Core enables businesses to manage essential commerce processes—including orders, inventory, customers, deliveries, content, campaigns, and other operational workflows—through a flexible, scalable, and reliable backend infrastructure.

Delivered as a Backend as a Service (BaaS) solution, Lidia Core allows organizations to leverage ready-to-use commerce capabilities instead of building core commerce infrastructure from scratch. This enables development teams to focus on customer experience, operational efficiency, and digital innovation rather than foundational backend development.

Built on a headless, API-first, and microservice-based architecture, Lidia Core adapts easily to different business requirements, technology stacks, and digital channels.

A Modern, Modular, and Centralized Commerce Infrastructure

Lidia Core separates customer-facing applications from backend commerce operations. Websites, mobile applications, customer portals, partner portals, kiosks, and other digital touchpoints can all integrate with the same backend services while remaining completely independent in terms of user experience and technology.

Rather than enforcing a predefined application structure or business model, Lidia Core provides modular commerce services that can be selected, combined, and customized according to each organization's requirements.

Services such as order management, inventory, customer management, delivery, content, campaigns, and notifications can be integrated individually or together, depending on the needs of the solution.

With this approach, organizations can:

  • Use only the services they need.
  • Build unique digital experiences across different channels.
  • Extend existing systems without replacing them.
  • Manage commerce data and operations through a centralized backend.
  • Expand their solution over time as business requirements evolve.

Instead of delivering a one-size-fits-all commerce application, Lidia Core provides the building blocks required to create customized commerce solutions tailored to each organization's needs.

Modern Architecture

Lidia Core is built on three fundamental architectural principles that support modern digital commerce.

Headless Architecture

The customer-facing experience is completely decoupled from backend commerce operations.

Organizations can build websites, mobile applications, or any other digital experience using their preferred technologies while relying on Lidia Core to manage business-critical processes such as orders, inventory, customers, and deliveries.

This separation allows frontend applications to evolve independently without affecting the underlying commerce infrastructure.

API-First Approach

Every capability provided by Lidia Core is accessible through well-defined APIs.

This enables seamless integration with ERP, CRM, PIM, payment providers, logistics systems, accounting software, and other enterprise or third-party applications.

Organizations can preserve their existing technology investments while extending their ecosystem with Lidia Core services.

Microservice-Based Architecture

Lidia Core consists of independent microservices, each responsible for a specific business domain.

Services such as order management, inventory, identity, content, marketing, delivery, and notifications can be developed, deployed, updated, and scaled independently.

This modular architecture improves maintainability, scalability, and flexibility while allowing organizations to utilize only the services required for their solutions.

Multiple applications and digital channels can share the same backend services, ensuring consistent data and unified business processes.

Long-Term Extensibility

Organizations can continuously expand their solutions by adding new services and integrations as business requirements evolve.

Flexible Deployment Options

Lidia Core can be deployed in different environments to align with an organization's infrastructure strategy, security policies, and operational requirements.

Cloud Deployment

Lidia Core supports deployment on leading cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Huawei Cloud.

Cloud deployment enables organizations to scale resources efficiently, reduce infrastructure management efforts, and benefit from high availability and disaster recovery capabilities.

On-Premises Deployment

Organizations that require full control over their infrastructure and data can deploy Lidia Core within their own environment.

This option is ideal for businesses with strict security policies, regulatory requirements, or existing on-premises infrastructure.

Infrastructure Flexibility

Lidia Core can run on both Kubernetes and Virtual Machine (VM) environments, whether deployed in the cloud or on-premises.

This flexibility allows organizations to choose the infrastructure model that best aligns with their operational and technical requirements.

Who Is It For?

Lidia Core is designed for medium and large enterprises looking to leverage flexible, scalable commerce services to support their digital transformation initiatives.

Implementing Lidia Core does not require building a complete B2C, B2B, B2E, B2F, or Marketplace platform.

Instead, organizations can integrate only the services they need into their existing ecosystem or use them as the foundation for entirely custom digital solutions.

E-commerce

E-commerce businesses require flexible and scalable solutions to manage high-volume transactions and complex product catalogs. The Lidia Commerce Engine's headless architecture allows for seamless integration with various front-end platforms. Microservices like Lidia Search for advanced product search and Lidia Marketing for targeted campaigns enhance the overall shopping experience and operational efficiency.
