Our Packaged Business Capabilities for your Business
What are PBCs?
PBCs are an assembly of functionalities, or microservices, grouped into larger clusters. Every PBC fulfills a well-defined, specific capability, allowing business and tech users alike to jointly evaluate the benefits and use of each. PBCs represent a future-proof middleground between sprawling, unmanageable microservices and inflexible, bulky monolithic platforms.
Their ability to work independently of other PBCs allows agile updates, changes, and extensions, with no interference to the tech stack as a whole. PBCs offer the ability to easily switch capabilities to those available from third-party vendors, embracing both composable enterprise and a best-of-breed approach.
Technically, a PBC is a bounded collection of a data schema and a set of services, API's and event channels.– Gartner
Our Packaged Business Capabilities contain several Spryker features. Image 1 – Each PBC contains internal (meta-) data and acts autonomously of other PBCs. Image 2 – B2B/B2C Capability. Image 3 – Our PBCs, together with product offerings such as the Marketplace Capability and our Partner Ecosystem, make up Spryker Cloud Commerce OS.
Why consider PBCs for your business?
Enable composable commerce Composability is becoming increasingly important for enterprises to thrive, with Gartner predicting that by 2023 companies embracing composable approaches will outpace competitors by 80% 1. Fulfilling the composable commerce paradigm, PBCs offer agility, efficiency, resilience and democratization of business via their simple plug-in functionality
Easily solve common business problems PBCs offer effective solutions to common business problems, with each PBC delivering a specific set of values for business users. For example, Spryker’s Cart & Checkout PBC increases conversion rates and reduces drop-off rates with a feature-rich Cart & Checkout. This also allows the integration of specific permission-related functionalities for B2B users.
Offer a best-of-breed approach PBCs offer unparalleled flexibility and efficiency. Enterprises can utilize best-of-breed approaches and select PBCs from third-party providers which best match their specific use case. This enables companies to more easily keep pace with rapidly evolving consumer expectations and market trends.
A future-oriented solution Composable commerce and PBCs naturally work hand-in-hand with future-proof business approaches such as fusion teams and digital transformation. Gartner predicts that by 2024, 30% of digital commerce organizations will use PBCs to construct their application experiences.
