What is SAP Commerce Cloud?
SAP Commerce Cloud (originally called SAP Hybris) is a cloud-native omnichannel commerce solution for B2B, B2C, and B2B2C companies.

It caters to the unique needs and desires of every customer by delivering personalized experiences from acquisition through to retention, unifying all touchpoints (online, mobile, POS, call center, social, print) on a global scale.

This can be incredibly hard to manage, creating complexity and data fragmentation for the seller, lack of personalization and reliability for the customer, and can lead to higher costs for both.

Commerce Cloud aims to solve these issues with modules aimed at both B2B and B2C users.

Core B2C capabilities include an omnichannel, responsive storefront that promotes consistency across all devices, with powerful search functionality and tailored promotions and recommendations to increase customer engagement.

The B2B Accelerator module manages complex B2B relationships through intelligent pricing models, price lists, and quote generation.

Also, through self-service options like “Organization Management,” where customers can define order approval workflows, and “Quote Negotiation”, where customers can request quotes to be reviewed by managers. The checkout has B2B-friendly features like PO number entry, auto-replenish, and the ability to charge an account rather than a credit card.
