Arcadier Enterprise Marketplace Solution: How does it compare to Mirakl, Izberg, Avetti and Marketplacer’s offerings?
Online commerce is all the rage in today’s digital world, and business are getting in on the act. Motivated by the convenience of the ecommerce experience and the capability offered in the use of marketplace technology, Gartner estimates that 75% of B2B procurement spending will happen via an online B2B marketplace within the next 5 years. This has led to the rise of the enterprise solution by marketplace platform providers like Arcadier, Mirakl, Marketplacer, Izberg and Avetti Commerce aiming to cater to larger corporates such as distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers attempting to launch a multi-vendor marketplace platform: the enterprise customer.
In a broad sense, many of the solutions share the similarities of allowing clients to construct tailor-made marketplace experience by enabling businesses to heavily customise their marketplace front-end page to fit their brand image and a flexible back-end that allows integration into inventory management systems (IMS) or payment gateways via Application Programming Interfaces (API). However, they differ in the areas like pricing, level of support offered, security and the server deployment options.
Interestingly, many platform providers, like Mirakl, Izberg, Marketplacer, Aventti Commerce and Stelace focus solely on the enterprise customer, offering a high-touch approach in a user’s onboarding process. Arcadier caters to “DIY SaaS” customers and also enterprise customer segment types. With a broad suite of features as well as advance APIs, Arcadier can easily provide the same level of enterprise customer experience as any other enterprise-focused multi-vendor platform providers.
