The Challenge

Nova Needed More Than a Storefront

Nova required an enterprise commerce platform that could support corporate authentication, customer retention workflows, advanced analytics, and highly customized promotional logic, while also powering web, mobile, and partner-facing experiences.

01
Enterprise authentication

Corporate clients needed seamless secure access

The platform had to support SAML-based SSO across multiple identity providers while mapping users into the correct admin roles and customer groups.

02
Retention at scale

Inactive customers needed automated re-engagement

Nova wanted a reliable system to identify dormant users and reconnect with them through personalized email and SMS flows without spam or duplication.

03
Operational visibility

Decision-makers needed real-time business intelligence

Sales, delivery, payment methods, and operational KPIs had to be surfaced clearly so teams could act faster and reduce stockouts or campaign blind spots.

04
Complex promotional logic

Standard promo tools could not support the business model

Nova needed multi-item free gifts, step-based reward calculations, and exclusions for discounted items, all while keeping campaign execution manageable.

“Nova brought together enterprise authentication, retention automation, analytics, promotions, and mobile APIs in one of the most comprehensive Magento builds SnapTec has delivered.”

The Solution

Four Core Systems Behind the Nova Platform

SnapTec built Nova as a tightly integrated ecosystem where identity, engagement, analytics, and promotions worked together on top of a powerful Magento and GraphQL foundation.

01

Enterprise SSO with MiniOrange SAML

We implemented SAML 2.0 service-provider authentication to support secure single sign-on for both admin and customer access across enterprise identity providers.

  • Azure AD, Okta, OneLogin, ADFS, and custom IDP support
  • Role and customer-group assignment via SAML attributes
  • Single Logout across connected applications
  • X.509 certificates, AES encryption, and signature validation
  • Reduced support friction for enterprise user onboarding
02

Customer re-engagement automation

Nova’s retention system automatically identified inactive users and reconnected with them through smart multi-channel campaigns backed by timing and frequency rules.

  • Identification based on configurable inactivity thresholds
  • Email and SMS campaign execution across multiple providers
  • Frequency limits and minimum-hour throttling logic
  • Duplicate prevention and state-aware scheduling
  • Cron-driven automation with minute-level execution
03

AWS QuickSight OMS analytics

We created a real-time analytics layer to give operations and leadership clear visibility into what was happening across the business at any moment.

  • Sales-by-city, payment-method, and delivery-zone dashboards
  • Automated ETL pipelines from Magento to QuickSight
  • Executive KPI visibility for faster decision-making
  • Reduced analyst workload through automation
  • Better inventory and operations forecasting
04

Advanced promotion system with limitation controls

SnapTec extended the existing promo engine with custom business logic to support sophisticated gifting campaigns and prevent unwanted stacking behavior.

  • Multi-item free gift allocation using SKU:Quantity syntax
  • Step-based calculations for reward distribution
  • Special-price exclusions to preserve margin control
  • Manual processing reduced through automation
  • Complex campaigns deployed with operational confidence

Key Takeaways

What Enterprise Commerce Teams Can Learn From Nova

Nova proves that enterprise commerce performance improves when authentication, retention, analytics, and promotions are architected as connected systems, not isolated tools.

SSO can be a revenue enabler, not just a security feature

When enterprise customers can access platforms more easily and securely, onboarding friction drops and support overhead decreases significantly.

Retention gets stronger when automation is controlled intelligently

Re-engagement works best when timing, channel mix, duplication prevention, and frequency rules are all designed carefully from the start.

15–20% re-engagement in 30 days

Advanced promotions require real business-rule engineering

Once promotional campaigns become strategic levers for growth, standard discount tools are rarely enough. Custom logic becomes a competitive advantage.
