Inveon inCommerce vs. Spryker Cloud Commerce OS

Inveon inCommerce is a platform with the
competencies needed to increase sales and create better user experiences with
omnichannel strategies. It ensures sustainable growth and provides a strong
presence in the competitive e-commerce world.

Spryker is very well suited (B2C and/or B2B) for big companies with complex and individual business models or also if your company needs a certain level of customization. Very good fit, if you need a scalable system. It is rather not the perfect fit for small companies or companies with very basic E-Commerce needs.

• Scalability
• Customization
• Experience & know-how

• Data Importers - Spryker is able to cope with large chunks of data ingest e.g. from PIM or ERP. Its integrated Middleware of handling this data.
• Scaling - Modern architecture makes it possible to scale flexible.
• Internationalization - Role our your shop with different assortments, pricing and products with out of the box features.
• Pricing - Spryker supports custom pricing out of the box (volume prices, gross/net prices, customer specific pricing).
• Order Management.

• We are greatly satisfied with our experience with Inveon inCommerce.

• Content - content administration is not a strong part of Spryker, although it improved over the years. I still see room for improvement in the world of bigger CMS systems being able to also do "commerce".
• Backoffice-usability - for non-technical users the first few days, weeks and month[s] can be full of surprises. An extended documentation, or more intuitive handling on the backoffice could serve every party on Spryker.
• Off-the-shelf internationalization - Spryker right now comes with an initial data set in English and German, which is for a German based company already a pretty stable starting point. Extension on the base data for Europe-wide used countries would be very helpful - French, Italian, Polish, Russian, etc.

Spryker's usability depends a lot on custom development. Therefore, I would like not to consider usability as something that comes with Spryker Cloud Commerce OS. Spryker Cloud Commerce OS; however, brings all the tools needed to design a solution with great usability.

Support suffered from Spryker Cloud Commerce OS's rapid growth. Contacts, department heads, and support systems changed frequently. Support processes as well as documentation are rather poor. One notices that they are putting more effort into the customers recently, but in the course of growth, there is still a lack of focus here. As a customer, I would like to see growth at a slower pace and a phase of stabilization.

Among many eCommerce solutions, Inveon inCommerce is by far the easiest to use, with the most flexibility and
user-friendly features. It also covers lots of great plugins and extensions for
almost any feature anyone can think of for its online store.



Moreover, there is an awesome community composed of e-commerce
experts who can guide our
team in expanding our digital footprint.

If you compare Spryker with commerce solutions on the market, you will notice that the focus is not on the front end. Spryker assumes that the store is only one of many possible channels through which customers order today and in the future. To understand the differences, one must therefore take a look at Spryker's architecture. This is divided into the Spryker [Cloud] Commerce OS (the backend with all process-related components), the front-end modules for B2C and B2B, as well as the integration modules (middleware) and interfaces (Glue API).
