In our November Product Update Webinar, we introduced App Slices - a game-changing solution for composable ecosystems.
Revolutionizing Composable E-commerce Workflows
The future of e-commerce is composable. At Ucommerce, we embrace this shift wholeheartedly. In fact, we bet the farm on it and designed solutions that allow businesses to evolve continuously, stay agile, and outpace their competitors. But while the composable approach offers strategic advantages, it also introduces day-to-day challenges, especially for workflows spread across multiple platforms.
Enter App Slices, a groundbreaking feature in Ucommerce Next Gen which unifies workflows across platforms, and makes composable e-commerce more efficient and accessible for users.
What are App Slices?
App Slices is a game-changer. Essential e-commerce tasks can now be completed seamlessly within your preferred interface without the need for an extensive (and expensive) custom integration or switching between systems. Composable platforms promise agility, but their complexity often leads to inefficiencies. App Slices bridge this gap by creating unified workflows across platforms that simplify daily operations without sacrificing the benefits of a composable architecture.
For e-commerce managers, this means:
- Faster, more intuitive workflows.
- Better collaboration across teams and platforms.
- The ability to focus on growth, not troubleshooting.
This is what our Partners and Customers have to say about App Slices
- "I took the time to watch your video, and I must say, the product picker App Slice is a fantastic idea. Backend management of multiple composable systems can be quite a headache for content admins, as you know all too well. This new technology could really simplify things for us."
- "I watched the webinar and it does sound like the App Slices thing is somewhat magical."
- "I found it valuable and got confirmed that the App Slices does what I hoped it would. It will save us some time."
App Slices in Action:
In our recent webinar, Søren explained how App slices can be leveraged with Ucommerce Next Gen. Watch it here for a glimpse of why Partners and Customers love App Slices:
Solving the Challenges of Composability
While composability empowers businesses to focus on a best-of-breed modus operandi, it can also create disconnected workflows. Picture this: your e-commerce platform is separate from your CMS, which is separate from your ERP, DAM, or PIM. Simple tasks like creating a product landing page can become time-consuming.
App Slices fixes this by bringing Ucommerce’s powerful workflows into other platforms, enabling you to unify operations where it makes sense—no more toggling between systems or dealing with complex integrations - just a seamless and productive experience.
What you get with App Slices
-
Native workflows across platforms
The core idea behind App Slices is to take Ucommerce’s efficient workflows and make them available anywhere. For example, with the Product Picker App Slice, you can browse, select, and place products directly into a CMS like Umbraco or Sitecore, eliminating friction and enhancing productivity. -
Streamlined Content and CommerceImagine creating a product landing page. Your CMS handles the content, while Ucommerce manages the products. With App Slices, these two workflows come together seamlessly. Build beautiful, converting landing pages in one interface without missing a beat.
-
Flexibility for any Composable Platform
Whether you use Wordpress, Umbraco, Sitefinity, Sitecore, Magento, Drupal or any other CMS for that matter (composable baby!), App Slices adapt to your environment, ensuring compatibility across your composable tech stack. -
Effortless integration:
App Slices eliminate the need for (expensive) custom integrations. With just a few steps, you can access Ucommerce workflows within other platforms, freeing up your development resources for innovation rather than maintenance.
Use case: Build a Product Landing Page
Here’s how it works:
- Within Ucommerce you can manage all product information and make products ready to be picked.
-
You can browse and select products from Ucommerce directly within the CMS backend using the product picker App Slice.
- Selected products seamlessly integrate into the landing page, alongside optimized content for SEO and user engagement.
-
The result is a unified, polished landing page with both content and commerce elements, ready to convert visitors into customers.
