What is composable commerce?

Jump start your composable business

Over the last few years, we've seen an increasing challenge for merchants to keep up with customer demands. With the rise of the mobile web and shorter innovation cycles, it's become more important than ever for merchants to have a structure in place that allows them to be agile and quick. Time to market is now a leading competitive differentiator.

Monolithic eCommerce applications, which are still used by many big retailers worldwide, have become a bottleneck for innovation. While they can be deployed all at once, they are also complex and inflexible.

There is a new approach to commerce that will help you overcome these challenges. This composable approach is based on MACH architecture and leverages your investment in your existing platforms whilst evolving your tech stack to give you agility and flexibility to future proof your business.

Composable commerce involves taking best of breed technologies from various vendors rather than a single vendor and composing them in a modular way to suit your business needs. Without affecting the rest of your architecture these technologies can be easily added, replaced, and removed as your business needs grow or change.

What is MACH?

Gear up for modern commerce

Composable architecture is based on the MACH Principles. The MACH principles presented by the MACH Alliance advocates for an open and best-of-breed enterprise technology ecosystem. The ecosystem technology is: Microservices based, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS and Headless.

1. Microservices

Individual pieces of business functionality that are independently developed, deployed, and managed.

1. API-first

All functionality is exposed through an API.

1. Cloud-native SaaS

SaaS that leverages the cloud, beyond storage and hosting, including elastic scaling and automatically updating.

1. Headless

Front-end presentation is decoupled from back-end logic and channel, programming language, and is framework agnostic.

Ready, set, go!

Electronik Conrad: Mehr Auswahl, geringere Prozesskosten

Vor der Einführung seines Marktplatzes bot Conrad ein rund 800.000 Artikel umfassendes Sortiment. Fünf Jahre später sind es bereits über 7 Millionen Produktangebote von mehr als 650 Herstellern und Distributoren, die ihre Ware über den Conrad Marketplace vertreiben. Bei Conrad Electronic hat man sich deshalb für ein kuratiertes Marktplatzmodell entschieden und somit das Angebot ideal auf die Kundenbedürfnisse ausgerichtet.

Douglas, einer der führenden europäischen Premium-Beauty-Händler, verzeichnete seit dem Start seines Online-Marktplatzes ein exponentielles Wachstum. Das Angebot hat sich in 2 Jahren vervielfacht und umfasst heute über 100.000 Produkte. Mit seiner Plattformstrategie bewältigte Douglas die Coronavirus-Pandemie und steigerte dank Mirakl-Technologie die Anzahl seiner Produkte und Partner erheblich.

Interview

Composable Commerce Conversation with KPS and SAP

Barnaby Moffat, UK Commercial Director at KPS and Alex Timlin, Head of Customer Experience Solutions Go To Market at SAP, discuss the importance of composability and how a best of both approach is beneficial to future-proof and scale your business.

Why don’t you just take a look for yourselves?

Elkjøp

As a partner of the MACH Alliance, KPS is deploying a powerful transformation model for Elkjøp to implement a resilient and future-proof, frontend-driven IT architecture. A smooth integration of all business processes in the backend is achieved via API integration to SaaS.

MACH provides the technological principles behind building an end-to-end customer-centric system. Central, cloud-based microservices, e.g. for pricing and promotions, serve as a single point of truth across all channels. Headless applications supply the front end, which is optimised for the customer experience, with the required functions and information, scalable and fast. Dynamic Yield's personalisation engine drives the individualisation - via APIs, microservices and of course headless and scalable in the Microsoft Azure Cloud.

The modular approach, which can be implemented immediately, enables a holistic transformation in a comparatively short time.

Mirka

With an archaic legacy online store slowing them down, Mirka wanted to create an omnichannel experience that would allow them to grow and interact with their customers at a deeper level.

Launching a brand-new cloud-based ‘Partner Portal’, employing the Spartacus headless storefront application, in just six months – KPS have delivered a new transactional platform with a wealth of content and features that are transforming Mirka’s customer experience.

Now Mirka’s team can build stronger relationships with their customers, and the business has the perfect digital steppingstone for future growth and agility.
