Normet will use commercetools Composable Commerce for B2B as its primary ecommerce infrastructure
commercetools will advance Normet’s B2B customer experience via its robust portfolio of flexible APIs that enable an agile, customizable commerce infrastructure at scale
MUNICH - February 8, 2023 - commercetools, the leading provider of composable commerce, today announced that Normet has chosen the company as its next-generation commerce solution partner to create its first-ever ecommerce site.
Founded in 1962, the Finnish mining technology company is no stranger to adopting innovation within an industry known to be less than keen on modernization. This is evidenced by its recent investment in electrification technology and its expansion of the Normet SmartDrive® battery-electric vehicle offering. For its premier ecommerce site, the company conducted a thorough assessment to ensure that its customer’s digital experience was nothing less than world-class. As such, Normet selected commercetools for the unparalleled flexibility that its MACH-based (Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-Native, Headless) approach provided, allowing Normet to launch its first-ever online sales channel — inclusive of a full digital catalog where B2B buyers can now browse, shop and learn about over 65,000 products.
To be successful in today’s market, you need to have the technical agility to adapt to your customers’ ever-changing wants and needs and the evolving macroeconomic environment. commercetools enabled us to have flexibility and be prepared for any changes the future may bring. If we built our new ecommerce system with a traditional monolithic architecture, we would have risked losing the business-critical ability to be agile and future-proof our business model with unparalleled flexibility and scalability.
