SparkLayer simplifies the B2B eCommerce by simplifying B2B ordering on major platforms such as Shopify and Shopify Plus, connecting the systems that manage B2B data. First, SparkLayer connects to a merchant's backend systems (e.g. ERP, PIM, or CRM) to retrieve B2B data such as pricing. Secondly, it then enables an ordering experience on the frontend of the website that allows B2B customers to place orders and manage their account.

Alternatives Considered
Hands down, Mule is more cost-effective than Informatica, either on-prem or cloud, and the value only goes up form there. Reusability and ease of creation makes in-house training simple and the end result is we leverage Mule for much more than what we initially considered it for. Having used Oracle and TIBCO before as well, I find they are the tools of yesterday, not able to keep up in terms of functionality or price. Jitterbit would be a more relevant comparison, but Mule won out in the bake-off we did between them.
