According to the 2021 State of Composable Commerce Report, 95% of eCommerce practitioners believe Composable Commerce is the approach businesses should take. Elastic Path spearheaded the Composable Commerce Movement to make it simpler and faster for brands with complex requirements to deliver unique digital commerce experiences. The company makes this possible by providing a MACH-based commerce platform with unparalleled flexibility, Pre-Composed Solutions™ that make it fast and easy to migrate, and Composable Commerce XA™ which ensures complete experience assurance for multi-vendor commerce solutions.
