SAP Commerce Cloud (formerly hybris)
is a leading eCommerce platform.
Yet not every manufacturer needs the complexity
and cost of SAP hybris in a B2B eCommerce scenario.
Manufacturers have specialized needs in a B2B eCommerce solution, sometimes referred to as a “digital customer portal” for you dealers and distributors.
In these B2B scenarios, your customers need real-time pricing, availability, and the ability to order/request a quote through an SAP-integrated web portal. Other functionality, like the ability to manage accounts & credit, pay invoices, and get order history from all channels (EDI, phone, web, & more) is a necessity for the modern customer experience.
But for some manufacturers, building and maintaining this SAP-integrated functionality in SAP hybris/Commerce Cloud may be too complex or expensive in a B2B scenario.
Problem: hybris integration to SAP ERP is costly and complex in a B2B scenario
SAP hybris/Commerce Cloud wasn’t designed to start with your SAP ERP data (which is essential to create personalized transactions for your channel partners). If you need integration (as many manufacturers do), you’ll have to handle it yourself, either in-house, or with a third party. Both options are complex and expensive.
If your budget for commerce is <$300k/year, SAP hybris may be too costly in a B2B scenario—especially if you need SAP ERP integration.
SAP hybris isn’t your only option for B2B.
Welcome to the Corevist Platform.
SAP-approved alternative to hybris in B2B scenarios.
The Corevist Platform is a hosted B2B eCommerce platform that extends your SAP data to your customers.
Through 49 prebuilt integration points to SAP SD, customers can browse products, purchase, pay, and track orders through a friction-less online portal connected in real time with your SAP system.
This all comes with minimal burden for your IT department and no need for costly middleware and data duplication.
“We looked at hybris, but it was just too big. Plus it wasn’t integrated to SAP out of the box. We would have to build all the integration points to SAP, even though it was an SAP application.”
–Brian Poole, Vice President – Global Information Systems, Bioventus
