Our take
Building an innovative customer experience amidst commerce system silos can be a cumbersome process for brands. Elastic Path have created an API-based enterprise commerce platform, providing companies with a flexible open architecture that eliminates these problems.
The company currently works with businesses operating in a wide range of industries, such as telecoms, retail and travel, and they aim to expand into other sectors as well in the near future. Major companies that Electric Path work with include the likes of Tesla and Intuit.
Their competitors include Oracle, IBM and SAP. However, through funding, Elastic Path has since been focused on investing into its R+D as well as ramping up efforts to research its B2B market in order to stay competitive in this growing market. The company are ultimately focused on driving rapid growth globally.
