The B2B coFE MACHcellerator is the first and only accelerator specifically designed for complex B2B use cases while leveraging the power of commercetools Front End (coFE) and containing a native marketplace connector for further expansion to a multi-vendor model. Estimated cost savings are up to three months acceleration for a traditional ecommerce site and up to four months acceleration for a multi-vendor commerce platform.
With McFadyen’s B2B MACHcellerator, you get a complete cloud-native elastic-architecture-based B2B ecommerce site with 16 Epics covering 280 features available that form the basis of a modern B2B buying experience based on over 25 years of digital commerce success.
The acceleration process gathers client’s requirements using these Epics (covering 280 features) as a guideline to specify the exact functionality of each feature:
Profile/ Account Management
Registration
Contract Pricing
User Roles
Billing / Payment
Quoting
Checkout
Catalogs
Orders
Products Tax
Marketplace
Punch Out

The guiding principles of the MACHcelerator technical design are:
Scalability: Cloud architecture with systems that can scale out or scale up dynamically in response to demand.
Elasticity: Automatically scale resources up or down as needed, helping to optimally manage usage and maintain performance during demand fluctuations.
Fault Tolerance and High Availability: Redundant Cloud Architecture designed for fault tolerance and strategies to ensure high availability and continuous operation.
Statelessness: Microservices to ensure any server can respond to any request at any time, which is key for scalability and recovery from failures.
Loose Coupling: Components that interact with each other for easier scaling, maintenance, and updates through well-defined interfaces and protocols, not direct connections.
Process and communicates through APIs, enhancing maintainability, scalability, and continuous deployment.
DevOps and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): For efficient deployment of environments.
Security and Compliance: Robust authentication, encryption, and access controls ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
Cost-Efficiency: Serverless computing for sporadic workloads, ECS Fargate and monitoring usage to adjust resources as needed.
Comprehensive Monitoring and Performance Management: Track performance, health, and utilization of cloud resources.
Disaster Recovery and Backup: Ensure data integrity and availability in case of major incidents.
Modular Architecture: Replacement of individual systems like commerce, content, and search to enable a non-binding solution.
