Headless Transformation with Salesforce <\/span><\/span>Storefront Next<\/span><\/h2>

AI is running faster than large industry cooperations are able to fully commmit to AI-usage.The run on AI is challenging big-tech companies to place their next generation software on the market. The bigger the trustworthiness in an AI-based software product is, the higher are the chances to place a sale. Conseqeuently it is less surprising that Salesforce steps into the ring to compete with Shopify, Commercetools, Big Commerce and legacy big-players. Based on a real-world client-request in form of a Headless transformation project, Positive Minds had the chance to get early access to the Best-in-Class Storefront technology by Salesforce called Storefront Next.<\/span>Stay as flexible as possible with your business, ensure efficient usage of your resources and make your channels uniquely your own. There are always risks and unknowns. But finding a solution that truly fits your business should always be the preferred option.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It is an Unified Commerce Experience<\/h2>

Salesforce empowers you to connect all your shopping channels to provide a seamless shopping experience to your end-customers.\u00a0Basing on a Salesforce Commerce Cloud backend, the latest Storefront Next defines itself as an OOTB feature-rich Storefront where 3rd parties integrate via Commerce Apps.<\/span><\/p>

These Apps are common ISV solutions being manageable via Business Manager where AI tooling supports developers to implement and distribute them on their own.\u00a0Apart from common storefront features, Salesforce gives customers the possiblity to enrich their basic Storefront Next installation with Extensions. These are strongly frontend-focused and can be controlled on feature-switch and compiler-level.<\/span><\/p>

How will customers benefit from this approach?<\/h2>

Let\u2019s jump back to Positive Minds\u2019 real-world example – a Headless commerce transformation.<\/span><\/p>

Whoever decides for change wants to earn a value from it. One of the values for large tech-driven companies is to modernize their aged tech-stack. No matter if it\u2019s a migration from a legacy system like Shopify or the upgrade from an SFRA.\u00a0Imagine, the client operates a self-hosted webservice that does multiple things simultaniously: it creates customers in a 3rd-party CRM system and syncs store reviews. AI will be bored to just do the transformation from code-base A to B but it will finish the task quickly. Mostly this implies saving money.<\/span><\/p>

The gap: the customer does not have any value from it.<\/p>

Isn\u2019t it better to let a software architect define the transformation in a sense of splitting the purposes of the aged webservice and phrase the actual instructions?<\/p>

Isn\u2019t it better to let the senior engineer verify and review the transfomred output to proof that the actual service is headless-ready now?<\/p>

With these two experts as quality assurance in between, the customer is now able to let an AI build an extra client to deliver the Unified Commerce Experience to their end-customers.\u00a0Before you choose technology to take over parts of your business, it is important to understand why it needs to execute them and for what purposes. Reality proofs that customers live in highly complex ecosystems involving non-AI legacy systems or highly customizable-self-hosted stacks. Therefore each service provider is supposed to determine under what circumstances an agentic approach fits and under what not. More clearly spoken:<\/span><\/p>

A service provider is indispensable to instruct AI what to manage based on seamless understanding of business processes. One of Positive Minds\u2019 core competence is analysing and understanding customers\u2019 business processes in their environment in its entirety to derive recommendations of action. Secondly Positive Minds passion is to deep-dive into technology to develop these actions and assure their quality. You can\u2019t deploy what you did not review. No matter if it\u2019s AI or a human-being: a software architect is indispensable to use AI and supervise the Intelligence\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
