Incremental replatforming: MACH's promise fulfilled? Over the past couple of years, I've observed an intriguing shift in the retail sector's approach to replatforming, influenced by both macroeconomic factors and technological advancements. While some argue that the move towards incremental replatforming is a response to economic uncertainties and investment costs, I believe  that a more complex picture the trend towards incremental improvements, increasingly adopted by many brands, is not solely a product of economic caution, but a demonstration of a significant evolution in our industry, steering us away from the all-encompassing 'Big Bang' replatforming approach. This shift is driven by the possibilities opened up by composable commerce and MACH architecture. Traditionally, the Big Bang method, entailing a complete overhaul of all technologies at once, was the norm. However, speaking with most anyone across the industry easily reveals a growing preference for a phased, incremental improvement strategy. This preference is significantly bolstered by the flexibility and scalability offered by composable commerce and MACH architecture. An incremental approach, aligned with composable commerce, strategically updates individual capabilities with modern technology. This approach breaks down daunting challenges into smaller, manageable projects. For example: 📑 Introducing a Product Information Management (PIM) system can unify product management across channels, laying the foundation for further modernization. 🔄 Introducing an Order Management System (OMS) can enhance inventory visibility for greater omnichannel order processing, opening up seamless features like endless aisle, deliver from store, buy online / return in store, and merchandising driven by global or local inventory levels. Frontline customer experience can also see incremental improvement, for example: 🚀 Introducing a modern JavaScript frontend for greater performance and interactivity. 📱 Introducing a mobile POS for improved customer / advisor in-store engagement. It's crucial to note that the incremental strategy, closely intertwined with composable commerce and MACH architecture, may not be suitable for every brand. In my opinion, brands on simpler platforms or those needing to quickly transition from legacy systems might still opt for the Big Bang approach. Even so, incorporating an incremental perspective into planning for a Big Bang replatforming can greatly increase the chances of success. The retail industry is witnessing an influx of specialized best-in-class technologies targeting specific commerce needs. Coupled with established best practices in MACH architecture, this makes the incremental approach more feasible and attractive for brands to explore and adopt. #RetailInnovation #ECommerce #MAC #ComposableCommerce #RetailTech #DigitalTransformation
