Today, businesses focused on speed, innovation, flexibility, and scalability are turning to modern headless, microservices-based technology to power their e-commerce experiences. These MACH architected digital commerce platforms focus on composable architecture by offering the ability for business leaders to take a more modular, best-of-breed approach.
So, what is composable commerce? How are businesses taking advantage of this approach today?
Composable commerce is a development approach of selecting best-of-breed commerce components and combining or ‘composing’ them into a custom application built for specific business needs.
Composable commerce achieves this through combining or composing Packaged Business Capabilities (PCB). Each PCB is a feature or capability of the application and is typically third-party software components. For example, a PBC could be shopping cart and checkout, promotions, or a search engine etc.
A composable approach utilizes various vendors who offer robust, comprehensive functionality for the one thing they do, rather than relying on one vendor to produce standard functionality as a one-size-fits-all offering.
So you ‘compose’ the best of breed PCB available, or the best fit PCB for your organisation.
NB: emporix comes with a standard set of already compiled & composed PCBs for your complex B2C or B2B Enterprise Ecommerce project (but you can pick and choose the ones you need, or just utilise some of them whilst continuing to use your current Enterprise Ecommerce application too).
