Traditional platforms like Salesforce are more expensive and rigid by nature, meaning that making changes often gets complicated, time-consuming, and costly. As you’re thinking about your commerce goals for the next 3-5 years, you will inevitably need to consider cost, which varies over time and differs significantly for Elastic Path and Salesforce. Check out our Guide to understanding total cost of ownership for more in-depth information about how Elastic Path solutions can help you save 4x more than legacy platform users.
With a modern composable commerce approach like Elastic Path, you can save on the costs of hiring and onboarding specialized front-end developers. Without the constraint of having to hire Salesforce specialists, your team can save money for additional headcount in other areas of your business or reallocate to more innovative projects.
Brands are increasingly adopting best-of-breed third-party vendors that offer superior functionality for various components like search, personalization, etc. With the rigid, tightly coupled nature of Salesforce, that often means paying double for a third-party search provider as there is no way to pay for the out-of-the-box capabilities that you use from Salesforce. On the other hand, the loosely coupled architecture of composable commerce solutions, like Elastic Path, allows rapid, easy changes, and the adoption of any tech you need.
Rather than spinning up costly and time-consuming development projects to work around the rigidity of Salesforce Commerce Cloud, lower your Total Cost of Ownership with a platform that provides the capabilities to deliver on your merchandising team needs with ease. With Salesforce Commerce Cloud, customizing a portion of the commerce stack will mean that these changes must be tested across the entire stack, slowing down releases and introducing significant risk to any customizations. With a composable commerce solution, each new addition can be integrated without affecting the existing core commerce stack. If you don’t need to optimize your eCommerce experience or experiment with external, best-of-breed functionality or quickly launch new experiences,like mobile-self-checkout or IoT Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud may be a fit for you.
For merchandisers who support multiple brands or channels are involved. With Salesforce, the rigidity of the system often means that merchandising teams are waiting on IT teams to make and publish changes to the customer-facing website or app. With a modern composable commerce approach, the merchandising teams gain the ability to make edits on their own, removing a potential bottleneck in the process.
With modern technology tools, your team will be able to merchandise the moment instead of being constrained by a rigid template that is time-consuming to manage. Modern business user tooling allows your merchandising team to manage and execute on-going or new initiatives more efficiently across every business model.
With the tightly coupled nature of an out-of-the-box platform that has limited releases every year, waiting for specific functionality to be added to the platform is not only slower, but constrains your brand’s ability to innovate with new channels or features. This fundamental architectural hurdle is impossible to get over; increasing the challenge of moving away from a ‘cookie-cutter’ experience to delivering an experience that today’s customers will love. In addition, Salesforce does not come with performance guarantees for service, leaving you exposed to the risk of downtime when an update is released, especially relevant for brands that rely heavily on video or imagery content for their stores. Overall, with Salesforce, trying to keep up with the competition quickly becomes a losing uphill battle.
With more customers buying on mobile and abandoning websites that take more than 4s to load, it is more important than ever to ensure your website performance is up to scratch. With cutting-edge API-based architecture, you can break free from the performance ceiling that will underwhelm customers imposed by Salesforce Commerce Cloud’s dated Sitegensis codebase.
Salesforce has two entirely separate products for B2B (legacy CloudCraze) and B2C (legacy Demandware), which means your team will have to learn two different technologies, and their workflows will be incredibly siloed. There is no support for omnichannel commerce with Salesforce, instead brands will be forced to add further third-party integrations, adding to overall cost and complexity.
