Overview

Rev up your online automotive and parts business

To meet the needs of car owners, auto enthusiasts and your B2B partners, you need a commerce solution that can provide a one-of-a-kind shopping experience offering deep personalization, fast customer support, and the ability to find and purchase products in a few simple steps.

Turbocharge innovation

With rapidly advancing industry and technology trends, market changes, new customer behaviors and increasing competition, automakers must be able to fast-track innovation Add the increased digitization expectations from “functions on demand” to car accessories and services, and automakers have a real challenge to increase revenue across units while boosting customer loyalty.     Composable commerce turns these challenges into opportunities. Rather than relying on monolithic, commerce platforms, commercetools for automotive, the only truly composable solution on the market, enables automakers as well as dealerships and resellers to easily integrate smaller, specialized components like search, checkout and cart. For brands, this means more flexibility and agility — they can choose the components with features that fit their needs and easily switch them out to continually deliver outstanding shopping experiences. For customers, it translates into improved services, seamless omnichannel experiences and the ability to custom products.
