BigCommerce, the Open SaaS e-commerce solution
BigCommerce is the publisher of an Open SaaS e-commerce solution. Created in 2009, the company has more than 5,000 partner agencies around the world, and is present in more than 150 countries.
Definition: “SaaS”, or Software as a Service, means software as a service. It is in fact a platform hosted by one or more suppliers, and which is made available to customers via the internet. So, you pay for access to a single platform on which everything is managed.
A SaaS solution has several advantages, such as saving time and reducing costs. Indeed, this type of model allows sites to be launched more quickly, and avoids wasted time linked to troubleshooting problems with third-party applications or even linked to managing updates.
In one sentence, BigCommerce defines itself as “the SaaS platform adapted to all stages of the growth of your e-commerce”. The solution is indeed flexible and scalable, and adapts to the evolution of your needs and objectives.
