Mirakl have announced a SAP-certified extension for the SAP Hybris Commerce solution. It is designed to speed the time-to-market for companies to launch their own online marketplaces.
The extension makes it faster and easier to integrate the Mirakl Marketplace Platform with SAP Hybris Commerce to onboard external vendors and sync critical product and commerce components. This new extension completes the majority of the integration work required to connect the Mirakl Marketplace Platform with SAP Hybris Commerce. As a result, customers are better able to focus on their marketplace strategy rather than the integration efforts.
Outiz, a major brand of Saint-Gobain Retail Building France, and Galeries Lafayette already rely on SAP Hybris Commerce and Mirakl to power their marketplaces.
Retailer marketplaces are going to become ever more commonplace in an effort to keep consumers on their websites for longer and expand product ranges without the investment in long tail inventory or products which require large amounts of warehouse space or specialist deliveries.
Regardless of the market vertical you operate in, keep a watching eye on retailers and make sure you’re one of the first to get onboard when relevant marketplaces open up.
