We built Core dna just right
The enterprise platform that's neither too little nor too much
OroCommerce? Native features, expert implementation required
OroCommerce built comprehensive native B2B functionality for complex commerce. RFQs, CPQ, sophisticated pricing structures, company account hierarchies, complex approval workflows, for intricate B2B operations. But native features don't equal business user accessibility. The platform requires significant technical expertise to implement and operate.
Legacy platforms? Too rigid for complex commerce
Monolithic platforms like SAP Hybris and Oracle Commerce lock you into their ecosystem with upgrade cycles that break things and costs that spiral.
