Thom Armstrong, #BigCommerce VP of Enterprise Sales & I discuss the success of their #ecommerce #platform at The Lead Summit in NYC. BigCommerce has grown to support 60,000 Small & medium-size business and 4,000 enterprise-scale clients. BigCommerce is a great #composable ecommerce platform (certified as members of the MACH Alliance). We discuss headless success stories including integrations via microservices API into many #MACHalliance platforms like Akeneo, Algolia, Alokai, Amplience, & further into the alphabet. BigCommerce offers an “Open SaaS” approach which is more extensible than the traditional SaaS solutions obfuscated behind an API wall. For example: Catalyst, the new reference architecture storefront (based on Next.js, React & GraphQL) is a great starter store to quickly launch, but also provides open source (& free) flexibility for customization at launch or later. It has built-in best practices for SEO, accessibility, performance optimization & more. It’s available on the Vercel platform but can also be deployed to any Node.js or Docker host.  Merchants who don’t want a headless architecture can still use the native Stencil theme framework. BigCommerce has been a leader in the #B2C space, but we also discuss the many #B2B features available for both #manufacturers and #distributors / #wholesalers. Features include company account credit management, buyer roles & permissions, payment visibility control, sales rep masquerade, controlled access, invoicing, multiple storefronts, seller quoting & discounting, shared purchasing lists & reordering, custom catalogs, custom price lists, specialized attributes, customized commercial quotes, support tickets, tax exemption support & more. A open-source B2B buyer portal is also available (like Catalyst for B2C). In 2021 BigCommerce acquired Feedonomics, a leading platform that enables additional sales channels by integrating into #marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, Target, eBay, etc. Look for another video post with a leader from the Feedonomics team: Andy Delgadillo - another long time ecommerce friend. BigCommerce also has a successful partnership with Marketplacer for quickly launching a #marketplace platform business. Congrats Thom on the new role at BigCommerce! We’ve been working together in the #ecommerce world since the days of ATG (later Oracle Commerce) for almost 20 years. Also congrats to the new BigCommerce president Travis Hess (another friend from the ATG ecommerce days decades ago). Join McFadyen Digital and BigCommerce at their Big Summit in Austin Texas next week!

Rich Bulger & I discuss the profit opportunity in #ReverseLogistics, #Recommerce, #Returns, & #Circular #Platforms at #TheNTWKsummit. Returns cost the #retail economy $750 billion in 2022. On the revenue side, the global reverse logistics opportunity is estimated to be $630 billion now and grow to $950 billion by 2032. This conversation is a brief preview of deep-dive webinar that Rich, Scot Case of National Retail Federation & Peter C. Evans, PhD of McFadyen Digital are hosting tomorrow. Webinar Details: https://lnkd.in/dPvaZUtv Rich is the author of the book "Going Circular: The Evolution of Reverse Logistics into a Competitive Weapon.” He was also Director of Reverse Logistics at Cisco & Verizon and is a board member of the Reverse Logistics Association. At Verizon, Rich started their first mobile phone recycling program that grew to over a billion dollars annually by processing over 15 million units annually. On the manufacturing side, Rich realized similar success at Cisco. Rich Bulger & Peter Evans (#McFadyenDigital Chief Strategy Officer) recently taught a full-day course on reverse logistics & circular marketplaces. Tomorrow's webinar will highlight key points from that training with additional insights from Scot Case, NRF's VP of CSR & Sustainability. The #NRF recently acquired the Reverse Logistics Association #RLA as this is massive part of retail. An NRF study found that 14% of all retail sales are returned – a massive portion of the $5 trillion retail market. Legal “Right to Repair” mandates are increasing the need and opportunity for #CircularPlatforms. Gen Z, millennials and more consumers are especially concerned about #sustainability and environmental impact when making purchases. We’ve seen the number of retailers that offer a trade-in program triple in the past year. Learn how these #SupplyChain & #ecommerce #marketplace solutions drive revenue & profit, benefit customers, and help the environment.
