A great experience awaits! Over the past few years, the world of e-commerce has undergone a major transformation. It's all thanks to an innovative concept called composable commerce. This approach has taken the industry by storm, and it's easy to see why. Composable commerce is a versatile, scalable, and innovative approach that empowers businesses of all sizes to deliver great customer experiences across different platforms and devices.
In this article, we'll take a deep dive into the intricacies of composable commerce, explore its key benefits, and examine how it will change the e-commerce industry. Get ready to be amazed by the possibilities of composable commerce.
Many organizations have started adopting Dynamics 365 Commerce, a configurable commerce engine that enables customers to integrate their back-office, in-store, and e-commerce channels. It also acts as a single integration point for third-party channel solutions. This gives customers the great advantage of being able to offer their products and services to their customers using a variety of best-of-breed commerce solutions.
What is Composable Commerce?
Composable Commerce is a modern approach to e-commerce that separates the front-end (presentation layer) and back-end (commerce logic) of an e-commerce platform. Unlike traditional e-commerce systems, where changes in one component affect the other, Composable Commerce decouples these two layers, allowing for independent development and greater flexibility. This separation enables greater agility, faster innovation, and the ability to quickly adapt to changing market demands.
In contrast, traditional e-commerce systems often have monolithic front and back ends, resulting in certain limitations. Changing the front-end design or user experience by modifying the underlying codebase is a complex and time-consuming task. Moreover, traditional systems do not easily scale to different devices and channels. Composable Commerce addresses these challenges by enabling businesses to easily update their website design or incorporate new features without disrupting core e-commerce functionality.
What options do businesses have:
Businesses have two powerful options for customizing their e-commerce experiences: headless commerce and composable commerce. Headless commerce allows businesses to develop and update front-end and back-end components independently, allowing them to respond quickly to market changes and experiment with innovative features. Composable commerce takes flexibility and customizability to the next level by allowing businesses to choose modular components from different vendors, providing the ultimate flexibility to create an e-commerce ecosystem tailored to their unique needs.
Benefits of Composable Commerce:
First, the flexibility and agility of the digital environment is continually evolving, so a decoupled architecture allows businesses to quickly adapt to changing customer preferences. Separating the front-end and back-end ensures that branding, user experience, and functionality remain consistent across different channels. Having a consistent experience across web, mobile, social, media, voice assistants, and other emerging technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and voice commerce increases customer satisfaction, engagement, and loyalty.
In addition, businesses can scale each layer independently, which also significantly improves scalability and performance, improving resource allocation. Websites will be able to handle more traffic, higher sales volumes, and more complex operations, resulting in faster page upload times and a better user experience.
End user benefits:
Whether customers interact with your brand through your website, mobile app, voice assistant, marketplace, or social media platform, composable commerce ensures a seamless, customized experience. Additionally, faster load times and improved website performance eliminate long wait times for full page loads and provide a smoother, more responsive user interface. More importantly, customers are browsing and accessing your products and services seamlessly whether they're on a desktop, smartphone, tablet, or using a voice assistant. This omnichannel capability increases customer convenience and accessibility, meeting their expectations for a seamless cross-channel experience. Dynamics 365 Commerce enables businesses to build this experience.

Enhanced vision: ABB Optical Group's intelligent contact lens ordering platform with Microsoft Dynamics 365
ABB Optical Group embarked on a technology innovation journey, unveiling a groundbreaking intelligent contact lens ordering platform developed in collaboration with Visionet Systems Inc. and Microsoft. This innovation included the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Azure Cloud, and Data Lake to provide a solid technology foundation. ABB Optical aimed to go beyond its traditional patient ordering platform, yourlens.com, to deliver a modern, intelligent, and scalable user experience. This vision was realized through the development of a robust minimum viable product (MVP), adoption of a microservices headless experience, leveraging the power of Microsoft D365 Retail and HQ APIs, and proof of concept.
The results were truly transformative. A successful MVP pilot generated positive feedback and spurred rapid development of additional customer-requested features. In just six months, Visionet spearheaded the launch of the second phase of the Abby platform, seamlessly integrating the data analytics component with Dynamics 365 F&O and Power BI through the Data Lake. ABB Optical Group is now at the forefront of innovation, providing eye care professionals and patients with an intelligent, advanced ordering system.
