The lead story this week is "Embracing Composable MACH Architecture When Replatforming Retail Ecommerce" a McFadyen Digital article by CMO Thomas Gaydos about the importance of considering a MACH-based composable approach when seeking to re-platform a retail ecommerce site. The Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless approach of MACH means the architecture is designed to have the absolute best solution available at every stage of the customer and fulfillment journey. The MACH Alliance, an organization McFadyen joined four years ago at its founding, is pushing the notion of composable commerce forward is a great resource when replatforming an ecommerce site. Another huge story this week was, of course, Amazon #PrimeDay. Retail Dive reports how the record $14.2 Billion haul wasn't driven by the typical big-ticket items, but rather more practical purchases like back-to-school and bulk staple items. Similarly, MarTech covers the 11% uptick in Prime Day sales YoY and dives into some predictions for the coming holiday season. Speaking of #Ecommerce and #Marketplace #Trends, Forbes brings us 35 useful statistics related to ecommerce in 2024, Signifyd has published their Ecommerce Consumer Price Index, and Mirakl dropped the eagerly anticipated 2024 Marketplace & Dropship Index. All of which speak to a heavily competitive environment in both the retail and B2B sectors where the winning players are willing to go all-in creating seamless #multichannel shopping experiences for their customers. Closing out the Ecommerce & Marketplaces newsletter this week is a tale of how Temu and SHEIN snuck up on Amazon, as told by CMSWire, as the disruptor becomes the disrupted and around and around we go. Enjoy the articles and see you next week.
