Brands looking to expand locally and internationally are increasingly choosing Magento Opensource and Adobe Commerce Cloud for their eCommerce sites due to a combination of flexibility, scalability, and robust features that meet the needs of diverse businesses selling to both consumers and trade customers worldwide.
Here are some key reasons:
Magento Opensource and Adobe Commerce Cloud are both built on the same Opensource code base which (unlike many SaaS platforms) makes them highly customisable, allowing merchants to create tailored shopping experiences.
Developers can modify the platform to suit specific business needs, making it ideal for merchants with unique product offerings or complex business models. This flexibility reduces the need for costly third-party software or proprietary systems, as you can build exactly what you need on the platform.
The UK is a hub for international trade, and many British eCommerce businesses serve global customers. Magento Opensource and Adobe Commerce Cloud support multiple languages and currencies, making it easier to expand globally and cater for diverse audiences. Merchants can create region-specific content and promotions, ensuring that international customers receive relevant and engaging offers.
In a strategic move aimed at bolstering online growth in the UK and abroad, Motocaddy selected Screen Pages Ltd to design and build a robust multinational eCommerce site to better service customers across the globe, all on one instance of Magento/Adobe Commerce Cloud. Motocaddy’s motivation behind building the new site was to improve the user experience on mobile, increase conversion rates, and grow average order values.
Tom Raabe, eCommerce Manager at Motocaddy said: "Motocaddy wanted to work with an eCommerce agency with a professional approach and a proven track record in Adobe Commerce Cloud. Screen Pages’ Management, Design, and Technical Teams have been a pleasure to work with, and we are looking forward to the exciting opportunities offered by our new website."
Magento allows merchants to manage multiple stores, regions, and channels from a single backend. This centralised management reduces the cost of maintaining separate systems for different stores or regions, therefore lowering the cost of ownership for your sites.
Magento Opensource supports B2B eCommerce out of the box. In addition, Adobe Commerce Cloud has an unparalleled suite of B2B functionalities, including custom catalogues and price lists, quoting and negotiation tools, quick order and requisition lists, credit limits and terms, advanced inventory management and company accounts management, making it attractive to merchants in the wholesale and manufacturing sectors.
This comprehensive suite of B2B features allows businesses to manage complex relationships, negotiate pricing, streamline bulk purchasing, and provide personalised experiences to their clients.
Recognising a surge in demand for their products and services worldwide, Megatech engaged Screen Pages Ltd, a top-tier eCommerce agency, to spearhead the development of four new B2C/B2B eCommerce sites on Adobe/Magento Commerce Cloud. These sites cater to diverse markets, including the UK, Europe, Germany, and a specialised domain for Megacold.
James Milford, Online Sales & Marketing Manager at Megatech, expressed confidence in the choice of Screen Pages Ltd and Adobe Commerce Cloud stating; “Adobe Commerce Cloud was the right platform for our needs, and Screen Pages’ professionalism during the supplier selection phase convinced us that they had a thorough understanding of our business requirements and the expertise required to deliver the project on time and on budget.”
With Magento Opensource and Adobe Commerce, you own the platform’s codebase, unlike proprietary SaaS platforms where you’re limited to their features and development roadmap. This eliminates the risk of vendor lock-in, allowing for flexibility without incurring costs tied to a specific vendor’s technology.
Unlike proprietary platforms that may lock you into their hosting services (often at a premium), Magento Opensource allows you to choose your own hosting provider. This flexibility helps you find cost-effective hosting solutions tailored to your budget and traffic needs.
In addition, with Adobe Commerce merchants are able to take advantage of a cloud-hosted option with built-in scaling, which can reduce the need for expensive server infrastructure management and monitoring.
Both Magento Opensource and Adobe Commerce Cloud provide a comprehensive set of tools to support businesses in their local and global expansion efforts. The flexibility they both provide in managing multiple storefronts, currencies, languages, and regional compliance ensures that brands can scale efficiently while delivering tailored, localized experiences to customers in different markets. Additionally, Adobe Commerce Cloud’s powerful B2B feature set allows merchants to service both B2C and B2B customers from one single platform.
