Our Composable Commerce Accelerator consists of 3 core layers:

The Storefront

The e-commerce storefront is based on NextJS and includes the most common elements, such as The Product listing, Product Details, and checkout. The storefront comes integrated with our accelerator design system based on Storybook, and it is also well-integrated with the Figma design files. Because of this, it allows you to have a site up and running in no time, and from there, you adapt to your needs.

A robust and flexible API orchestration layer that allows for complete flexibility in your system architecture.

Our integration layer blends the best of the platform APIs, extends them with our best practice experiences, and integrates them with the storefront. The orchestration layer also includes prepared services for importing and updating products across the platforms and the enterprise backends, PIM, ERP, etc.

A solid infrastructure built for scale.

Last but not least, we deliver a solid infrastructure based on containerised applications for easy deployment on Microsoft Azure using infrastructure as code via Terraform. All platforms are readily integrated and set in advance.
