In order to offer you the design of complete and adapted e-commerce websites, Smotly (ex Marge Communication) has recently become a BigCommerce partner. Our agency chose BigCommerce for its Open SaaS model, its headless technology and its adaptability to any size and type of company (B2B or B2C).
Today we offer you a quick presentation of our new e-commerce partner, the BigCommerce solution!
BigCommerce, the Open SaaS e-commerce solution
BigCommerce is an Open SaaS e-commerce solution provider. Founded in 2009, the company has more than 5,000 partner agencies worldwide, 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 providers, which is made available to customers via the Internet. Thus, 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 for a faster launch of sites, and avoids time wasted troubleshooting problems with third-party applications or managing updates.
In one sentence, BigCommerce is defined as "the SaaS platform adapted to all stages of your e-commerce growth". The solution is indeed flexible and scalable, and adapts to the evolution of your needs and objectives.
