    For long-term customer retention

    SAP Commerce Cloud

    Today, your customers decide for themselves when, where, and how they want to shop. They expect a seamless, consistent, personalized shopping experience. Whether in the form of a website or a smartphone app, your online store is probably becoming the main place where you do business. This is where SAP Commerce Cloud can support you as a flexible platform that can used as a web shop, a source of information, and a self-service center. It thus supports both B2C and B2B scenarios.

    All this is made possible by the shop front-end Spartacus, which is integrated into SAP Commerce Cloud. In this way, C/4HANA helps you integrate all your channels and processes even better in order to build long-term customer relationships. Extensive features let you contact and interact with customers – anywhere, anytime, and on any device. The new front-end does this using the Angular framework, which adapts flexibly to different screen sizes to give customers a one-of-a-kind shopping experience.

    The integration of Spartacus has separated the front and back ends of SAP Commerce Cloud, which now communicate with one another via APIs. As an added benefit, the front end can be linked with other SAP products through the SAP Business Technology Platform. Meanwhile, the back end of SAP Commerce Cloud can also interact with other SAP products. Thanks to integration with SAP Sales Cloud and/or SAP Marketing Cloud, you'll have your customers covered from every angle.

    To complete the shopping experience on the back end, we recommend integration with SAP S/4HANA (SAP ERP) in scenarios like these. This creates a closed loop that includes everything from customer orders to the delivery of goods. In addition to creating purchase orders in the ERP system, it's possible to trigger the necessary production process. Additional options such as installment payments can also be covered by SAP S/4HANA. Another benefit of SAP S/4HANA integration is that the product catalog, which is often confusing in SAP S/4HANA, can be displayed more clearly in your web shop through product content management (PCM). This can also be used to support field sales. When sales employees use a web shop to configure products for a business customer, the products can be presented directly on site.

    This new front-end technology and the proven SAP Commerce Cloud back end create an entirely new customer experience because they not only ensure the omnichannel capabilities of SAP Commerce Cloud; they also cover all the transactions that can be involved (searches, purchases, returns, and services). SAP Commerce Cloud is also the best way to respond to growing business segments thanks to its simple scalability.

    Win your customers over with clever, flexible solutions as you work toward the best possible customer experience.

    How you'll benefit:

    • B2C and B2B commerce including the Spartacus web/app front end
    • Communication between front end and back end via API
    • Context-specific customer targeting through personalized product suggestions, search results, and landing pages
    • Consolidated, consistent product content management
    • Order management with real-time order and inventory data and support for multiple warehouses and suppliers
    • Worry-free hosting in the cloud (enterprise class)
    • Short time to market and high scalability
    • Reduced operating costs thanks to one central platform
    • Customizable front-end shops
    • Integration with SAP Cloud Platform and other cloud products
    • Omnichannel integration
