Purpose of the solution

AKQA's Commerce Accelerator (ACA) provides businesses with a comprehensive solution that enables them to swiftly and effectively embrace the principles of Composable Commerce, giving them a head start on an otherwise overwhelming journey.

ACA has been crafted to address the pressing needs of businesses navigating the evolving e-commerce landscape. In a world where adaptability and scalability are paramount for sustainable growth, our accelerator offers a head start by leveraging the power of Composable.

Drawing upon our extensive experience building and running profitable e-commerce platforms, AKQA understands the challenges inherent in embarking on a Composable Commerce journey.

Composition of the Accelerator

We have built the AKQA Composable Commerce Accelerator with flexibility in mind. Our architecture is agnostic by nature, and all components are by nature interchangeable.

But, in acknowledgement of time to market being a critical driver for success, we have pre-integrated the market's leading platforms within enterprise Composable Commerce.

Commercetools, Contentful and Algolia.

In parallel with these core components, we are leveraging the powers of Cloudinary for asset delivery and can deploy to Vercel for storefront delivery and hosting.

The Storefront

The e-commerce storefront is based on NextJS and includes the most common elements, such as The Product listing, Product Details, and checkout. The storefront comes integrated with our accelerator design system based on Storybook, and it is also well-integrated with the Figma design files. Because of this, it allows you to have a site up and running in no time, and from there, you adapt to your needs.

A robust and flexible API orchestration layer that allows for complete flexibility in your system architecture.

Our integration layer blends the best of the platform APIs, extends them with our best practice experiences, and integrates them with the storefront. The orchestration layer also includes prepared services for importing and updating products across the platforms and the enterprise backends, PIM, ERP, etc.

A solid infrastructure built for scale.

Last but not least, we deliver a solid infrastructure based on containerised applications for easy deployment on Microsoft Azure using infrastructure as code via Terraform. All platforms are readily integrated and set in advance.
