Staff Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Unified B2B and B2C setup has streamlined complex catalogs and real-time customer pricing
Adobe Commerce offers many features, such as the customer group, which is the best common feature for B2B. Additionally, we have implemented both B2B and B2C in a single instance, meaning B2B also uses the same code as B2C. That type of flexibility is only available in Adobe Commerce. The customer group feature helps my organization by allowing us to create specific customer groups for catalogs. For example, we have three companies—Company A, Company B, and Company C—and we need to create three customer groups: Company A customer group, Company B customer group, and Company C customer group. We always assign a number of products belonging to that particular customer group, ensuring that if a customer logs in with Company A, we showcase only those products available for that particular customer. If Customer B has a different set of products, we choose the Customer Group B and assign the catalog for that specific customer. This is the best feature for company-specific catalog management. Adobe Commerce has positively impacted my organization as I am a developer here and work in a service-based company that handles multiple client requirements. In terms of work and all, Adobe Commerce has created a lot of opportunities for the organization, improving revenue and performance substantially. Regarding how Adobe Commerce has improved revenue or performance, I believe that having multiple projects in Adobe Commerce translates into substantial revenue. I do not have specific metrics, as I am a developer and do not handle that type of data.
