SAP Commerce - A front end with no limits

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SAP Commerce as our main B2B and B2C digital commerce initiative. It's scalable with omnichannel and helps our target users display products with ease, across different geographies and business units. The business problem that Commerce cloud helps to eradicate was on a single source of truth for managing product information catalog, SAP PCM (product content management) helped to improve and centralize one source of truth with regard to different products, and hence increasing search, etc in accuracy. Slow time to go to market - This issue was mainly during the launch of a new set of products and services, with the rollout of promotional localized storefronts, which helped to shorten the cycle, making storefronts faster, quicker, and seamless with headless architecture. Disconnected experiences- It was difficult to provide a unified expertise with different channels (web, mobile portals). SAP Commerce Cloud helped to unify the channel management with consistent data, pricing, and product catalog management. Integration with SAP S/4 HANA with having the same source of truth helping it to idealize the flow of data and help on end to end order to cash flow with order fulfillment and billing and invoice generation integration and feeding back the information of the fulfilment back to commerce cloud with accurate status on order and helped commerce user track their end to end B2B & B2C deliveries.

Pros

  • Catalog and pricing management
  • Single source of data
  • Approval and workflows
  • product & catalog managment
  • omni channel experience

Cons

  • easing the customization process
  • slowness in back office operations
  • LImited reporting
  • less down the complexity
  • High cost of ownership
  • missing AI/ML features on Out of the box functionality

Likelihood to Recommend

well suited in handling complex B2B sales scenarios with SAP S/4 Integration less suited in handling mid size organization and managing aglie work environment with API only & microservices, Merchandising with real-time personalization

SAP Commerce Cloud feedback

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We run our B2B E-Commerce platform on SAP Commerce Cloud (CCV2). Business employees are our customers and they log into our Storefront which is built out of Composable Storefront and transact. SAP Commerce Cloud forms the core of our services as it is the only platform that we expose to our customers.

Pros

  • Builds the basic components of n e-comm platform very well - like the storefront, cart, checkout, PLP, PDP etc.
  • The decoupling of the storefront with the backend Hybris system is a great recent gain after we migrated out UI to Spartacus
  • We use SmartEdit very effective as our single CMS system to manage all web content real time.

Cons

  • The interface to SmartEdit could be better
  • Promos are we resource intensive. running multiple promos sometimes slows the platform down
  • Managing jobs can be made better. Sometimes jobs get stuck and there is no active notifications sent.

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Commerce Cloud is well suited for enterprises that need a scalable e-comm website up and running quickly. It scales well to multiple geo locations and launching multiple store sites is a breeze.

SAP Commerce Cloud struggles when the traffic is high. The platform hardware resource utilization is high, especially memory. So it may not be ideal for a very large e-comm site without spinning up large number of API nodes.

SAP Commerce Cloud is actually quick and one stop solution for businesses to operate from web, mobile or even at retail store. The best part of SAP is you are a inclusive part of SAP ecosystem where you can easily segregate your data for various analytics and operational purpose for better business optimization.

Pros

  • It can have all the data at one place even if business is operating from online e-commerce store or from retail store.
  • We all know about the innovation, the optimized system , the security and the easiness of integrating any sap product to sap ecosystem.

Cons

  • The advantage is also a room, like we really need sap eco-system for better output. Standalone running SAP product is very hard
  • Obviously costly
  • maintenance and the customization is really tedious job

Likelihood to Recommend

1. Multiple store over ecommerce platform or retail across various location can be managed in one place.
2. Managing inventory and tracking is much easier f we have everything in one place.
3. Managing order in one place across all the stores in one place gives better analytics and visibility for business to understand customer as well.

Excellent centralised Data Management with SAP Commerce Cloud

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SAP Commerce Cloud for all centralised data management in our organisation. We get to know in a timely manner about our regulatory changes and management of complex supply chains. The real time data processing is super helpful too!

Pros

  • Real time data processing
  • Supply chain management
  • Centralized data management

Cons

  • Integrations with legacy software
  • Migrations challenges
  • Compatibility with newer versions as there is a mismatch when it comes to using other features

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Commerce Cloud is suitable for B2B large complex operations for maintaining processes and streamlining the customer success. It offers scalability and very high reliability. It is not appropriate when an org is looking to shift from a legacy software as migrations are not proper and add up significant work.

Another good solution from SAP in case you already integrated couple of products from this vendor

Rating: 4 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Mainly as an e-commerce solution: product content management, order management, catalog management, management of marketing campaigns/discounts. In our case we are using it to B2B e-commerce management. Especially useful for managing stocks and variety of products. On top of that we are using it extensively for marketing campaigns management and analytics.

Pros

  • Product content management
  • Order management
  • Scalability

Cons

  • High Costs (very)
  • Usability is not very intuitive
  • Poor documentation

Likelihood to Recommend

Really well suitable for big enterprises and for multi-chanel retailers - there are more than enough features necessary to manage extensive product catalogs and high transaction volumes. Moreover, if you have an extensive catalog of products and digital channels like including web, mobile, social media - it's a good choice. Also consider integration and hiring professionals to make the best out of the tool.
Not appropriate for small business or e-commerce business with very limited needs (only sell, send).

Great solution for complex ERP problems.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a GCP Reseller company. We use SAP for managing our customers, and it creates a smooth journey for our customers. It has loads of pre-loaded features, including automated payment solutions, delivery and order processing, and promotions. One of the major defining factors of SAP is its integration with other products. It can be easily configured with GCP Billing.

Pros

  • We can set up automated channels that can generate and Send invoices to customers from Google Clouds billing.
  • We can set up different contracts according to customer agreements, which include promotions and discounts.
  • It automates most clunky billing processes which can be a huge advantage.

Cons

  • There are some issues with integrations. Like we have to generate an intermediate report and then feed it to SAP.
  • Changing the format of the invoice is a hassle sometimes, and the online resources are good but not great.
  • Time taken during migration is too long.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a great ERP Solution. It automatically generates invoices for our multiple customers which is one of the best use cases.

Does a lot of jobs but can be quite a struggle after customization.

Rating: 6 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use a highly customized version of the CC. It is the core system of our e-commerce platform and basically functions as a backend for our B2C webshop, being the central hub for all products-, users- (both internal & external), and order-data management. We use a separate front end for our B2C customers.

Pros

  • Combines all basic e-commerce functionality in one product.

Cons

  • Customized parts of the system make regular updates cumbersome.
  • Codebase is reportedly tiresome for our developers.
  • internal user Backoffice's is pretty dated.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited if you want an all-in-one solution for setting up a simple webshop. Less suitable if you plan to perform major customization.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The solution designed was powered by SAP Cx suite of applications and led to a complete front office transformation through – SAP Commerce Cloud, SAP Sales & Service Cloud and SAP Business by Design and backed by SAP S4/HANA to implement the desired digital transformation. The SAP Commerce Cloud helped client to provide its customers with a self-service portal to interact with their dealers & sales team, access latest company and machinery information, fleet management and hierarchy management as well as to avail service and spare part products. This digital transformation project has helped in improving the way in which the company engages with its customers and dealers. The first Spartacus implementation in India and first in construction equipment industry. Helped in automating the manual processes and reducing the overall turn around time. Post implementation there has been a significant increase in the number of customer registrations. First mover advantage in construction equipment industry with single platform for all requirements Expect a decrease in the transaction cost, increase in efficiency of sales and service team as well as dealers with the automated process through the digital platforms.

Pros

  • Commerce engine works really well and easy customization journey for end users
  • Seamless integrations with SAP system at the backend
  • Promotions engines are easy configurable for business users to publish the promotions
  • Headless architecture helps client to have better frontend experience

Likelihood to Recommend

In B2B scenarios for the primary orders, commerce cloud fits very well and have background services readily usable.
In Searching it should give some more configuration based cockpit for the advance search configuration and custom attribute searching.
B2B content management and promotions management is very easy from business perspective and helps to reduce the dependency on the development team.
