commercetools Launches commercetools Foundry, Empowering B2C Retailers to Unlock Composability Faster

Commercetools, the composable commerce global leader, launched commercetools Foundry at the National Retail Federation’s Big Show. For B2C retailers, Foundry combines composable technology and commercetools’ expertise into a quick-to-launch, pre-composed solution by distilling the learning from the collective success of hundreds of pre-existing commercetools partners and customers –– including Woolworths, River Island, and Bang & Olufsen.

Today, retailers across industries can’t outpace their competitors without the technical agility to consistently provide and scale the CX their customers want and at the speed that is needed across markets. This competitive advantage is especially critical during volatile economic times such as with the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, Cimpress launched two large-scale projects which included face masks in under five weeks during the pandemic with commercetools. This was essential to serve their customer at a time it mattered the most.

“Today, true composable commerce is a business imperative for retailers prioritizing their customer’s experience, are invested in the business’ ability to adapt, and want to continuously increase growth opportunities. With commercetools Foundry, businesses can realize the benefits of our composable commerce even faster, easily unlocking opportunities for an increased competitive advantage,” said Dirk Hoerig, Co-Founder and CEO of commercetools.
