Our take
In the current era of digital transformation, and with the rapidly shifting landscape, the need for larger businesses to stay ahead of competitive and well-funded startups is increasingly crucial. Spryker is a modular cloud platform-as-a-service helping companies build experiences for the marketplace, B2B, and B2C commerce. The aim is to help larger businesses benefit from the same flexibility and rapid-testing capabilities that smaller, more agile companies can take advantage of.
Spryker offers upwards of 900 API-based modules to help larger businesses keep up with their smaller counterparts. The market demand for its services is on the rise, enabling the company to secure a good roster of top clientele such as ALDI and Toyota. That said, the profiles of Spryker competitors such as German Commercetools and US-based Shogun have also significantly increased.
Despite this competition, Spryker has expanded into the US market, adding new capabilities like the "Composable Value Services" tools and integrating Stripe into its platform to enhance financial processes. Along with appointing a new Global Chief Revenue Officer. These strategic moves align with this goal to capture a significant share of the global eCommerce software market.
