At Vertica, we help you develop a Composable Commerce approach that lays the foundation for how you will run your business in the future.
Composable Commerce is about building your e-commerce solution as a collection of smaller, independent components – rather than relying on one large, monolithic platform. These components might include a checkout, a PIM, a frontend, or something else entirely.
It may sound technical – and to some extent, it is. Fortunately, that’s the part we have fully under control, so you can focus on the real value you gain from Composable Commerce.
With Composable Commerce, you can choose the best solution for each function and replace it whenever your needs change. This means you can innovate quickly, scale with confidence, and adapt to the market without having to tear your entire system landscape out by the roots.
Scale without losing control
With a composable approach, you can respond faster, build smarter, and grow without carrying technical debt. You also avoid the large migrations and all-or-nothing decisions that often come with traditional platforms.
The modules are decoupled from one another and can be adjusted, scaled, or removed individually as needs arise – just as easily as adding new modules to the architecture.

Agility and flexibility to assemble the solution according to needs and requirements
At Vertica, we work with composable as a guiding principle across your entire solution – both technically and from a business perspective.
We help you to:
- Identify the parts of your existing setup that are holding you back
- Design an architecture where new features can be added or replaced without overhauling the entire system
- Select and integrate the components that align with your strategy and ambition level
- Ensure confidence throughout the process – for developers, the business, and leadership alike
We don’t just build flexibility into the code. We embed it into the way you think about business.
The terms are often used interchangeably, and that’s understandable. MACH (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless) describes a technical architecture where each component is designed to operate independently and communicate via APIs. This provides maximum flexibility – but also demands maturity and strong technical organisation.
Composable Commerce is a broader concept, focused on assembling your e-commerce solution from the components that deliver the most value – whether or not they are fully MACH-compatible. It’s not about dogma; it’s about building smartly: flexible, scalable, and with attention to both operations and development.
At Vertica, we help you find the right balance. Sometimes a fully MACH-based approach makes sense. Other times, a more pragmatic composable approach is the best way forward. The key is that the solution fits your business – both now and as you grow.
