Why do so many choose Adobe Commerce?
The market leader
When you achieve a position as the market-leading ecommerce platform globally for larger companies, being named the market's best solution year after year by recognized publications, on top of being one of the most important platforms for so many other technologies within ecommerce (eg: payment) then its only natural that it increases momentum further. In other words, the industry's answer to the old expression "nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM".
Flexibility
The platform is based on open source code, which gives you the opportunity to develop and adapt the solution exactly as you wish.
To be competitive in digital commerce, you have to meet the customer's expectations and their attitude is simple: "if others can do it, then you should be able to do it!". In other words, they expect the same from you as from Zalando.
Since Adobe Commerce is based on open source code and is API-driven, you have the necessary flexibility to be able to meet those expectations, regardless of what the competitor is doing.
Rich in functionality
Adobe Commerce gives you access to a wide range of innovative functions within all facets of modern digital commerce.
From online store specific features such as a user-friendly CMS, AI search and the personalization service Adobe Sensei which uses machine learning to create unique shopping experiences.
To a more holistic approach to digital commerce as we know it today, which makes it easier to implement an omnichannel strategy with multi-warehouse, BOPIS and focus on loyalty and customer club. Start selling in new channels such as Amazon and Google if you wish, or what about B2B functionality that gives the sales department the opportunity to handle the entire sales process digitally, from offer to order?
The pace of development
That the platform has Adobe, one of the world's largest software companies as owners, is a big advantage, but not unique. Several competing platforms have solid owners who, like Adobe, invest heavily in innovation and development.
What makes Adobe Commerce unique is the combination of the ownership of Adobe and the fact that the platform represents the world's largest ecommerce ecosystem.
With more than 360,000 developers globally, 1100+ partners like PearlConvert and 5400+ extensions available on the Magento Marketplace from third parties (think appstore), the pace of development and expertise available is truly something for itself.
Future-proof
Fordelen av at løsningen er Open Source er fleksibiliteten det gir deg, at den er API-basert gjør det enkelt for tredjeparter å knytte sine tjenester sammen med Adobe Commerce. Når du kombinerer disse teknologiske fordelene så har du en ecommerce plattform som ikke bare er konkurransedyktig i dag, men som også vil lede utviklingen i fremtiden.
Independent of market or industry
For players who have an international presence, have several online stores that focus on both B2C and B2B, then Magento is an excellent choice because you can handle all countries, concepts or markets from the same platform.
The next big wave of change in digital commerce is happening in B2B and with Adobe Commerce you get access to award-winning and innovative B2B functionality as standard.
Local anchoring
There are many competitive eCommerce platforms on the market, but significantly fewer have a strong and locally rooted position in Norway. The fact that several of Norway's leading agencies in digital commerce have chosen Magento as their preferred platform and built expertise in the field for over 10 years makes a big difference for many when evaluating the options in the market.
TCO
Compared to several competitive platforms for larger companies, Adobe Commerce will provide faster time-to-market, lower initial investment and lower costs over time.
Risk
All recognized ecommerce platforms have their strengths, it would be naive of us to say that Magento is superior in all aspects of digital commerce. For many, we believe it is about the totality of a choice and the opportunity to reduce potential risk that makes so many choose Adobe Commerce.
The advantage lies in knowledge
Two companies that choose the same ecommerce platform, but different agencies can achieve very different results. Many forget that the technology itself does not create results, it is the people and the knowledge that do.
PearlConvert is one of the first agencies in Norway to start development on Adobe Commerce. We are one of only two Adobe Gold Partners in the country and the partner who has worked on the most Adobe Commerce projects. Read more about our customers here.
