Defining Features of Sitecore Experience Commerce

And the Oscar goes to, “Sitecore”! The world is gaga over the majestic night of the Oscars and it has been garnering appreciations from one and all. But what if Oscars were given to Businesses for their performances? What if the people got to choose who won? If such Oscars existed and if we were to provide a People’s Choice award to one platform that has been supporting enterprises across the globe by providing the best opportunity to establish digital dominance in their respective domains, that platform will be Sitecore Experience Commerce (XC)!

While the Sitecore XC’s ready to use solutions and its ability to natively merge content, commerce, and data in a single, enterprise-level commerce solution are the reasons that grabs the attention of most of the organisations to this platform, there are three distinct features of Sitecore XC that ensures that organisations stay and actually gain a delightful and satisfied User Experience! Those three features are as follows:
- Inventory and Catalogue Management
- Management of Orders and Customer Information
- Tailored Price Differentiation and Promotion Modules
Below are the reasons why the above-mentioned features that makes Sitecore XC, an exemplary platform:
- Inventory and Catalogue Management:
Not only does Sitecore enable enterprises to easily create, modify and manage their online catalogues and stocks to their customers, they also provide integration with Microsoft Azure to integrate the stocks of offline stores! Also, their end customers can easily track the available inventory on the offline store from the website and when they visit the offline store; their next online visit will have product recommendations based on their prior offline purchases!
Apart from that, Sitecore Commerce also allows enterprises to create and cater a bundle of Digital and Physical products in one single order. Basically when enterprises opt for Sitecore Experience Commerce, they get a one stop solution to effectively and productively manage their inventory and product catalogues with the least possible efforts and administrative and operations cost.
Management of Orders and Customer Information:
When enterprises opt for Sitecore Experience Commerce, they are empowered with tools and modules that secure the past data, keep them updated about the present orders and customer activity and also provide future product and service recommendations! So, with one platform, enterprises can control over the past, present and future of their customer orders and their behaviour. For instance, not only can Customer Service Representative easily edit, update, and manage customer accounts and information using the integrated tools in Sitecore XC, they can also tag their customers to create customer groups and track such similar accounts to cater tailored promotions to such customer groups. Also, Sitecore XC gives complete analysis of any customer as well as the bird view of their behaviour with order details and account information.
Tailored Price Differentiation and Promotion Modules:
The reason why Sitecore is renowned for its personalisation and its customisation abilities can be clearly judged by their Price and Promotions module! Not only does Sitecore offers all their enterprise customers with 22 out-of-the-box promotions, they also empowers them with complete customisation offers to create such promotions on their will and cater them to their customers as and when they see fit during the whole purchasing process.
Sitecore XC also allows enterprises to apply and process real-time offers and promotions such as product discounts or free shipping. Enterprises can also enable automation of promotions by setting rules on one or more parameters of date, time, customer-order history, and many others. Also, to push customers further and avoid problems like Shopping Cart abandonment, Sitecore XC implements automations like cross-selling and up-selling when the customers are making purchases.
While these elaborate executions of Sitecore XC are enough to make any enterprise understand why they are the Market Leaders in ecommerce, to help you understand the impact of such modules on the bottom line and sales conversion rations of the business, we are presenting you with a success story of an Addact Technology customer and their progress after they acquired our Sitecore Development and Implementation services:
