What B2B Leaders Get When They
Leave the SAP Commerce Ecosystem
Live in 6–8 Months, Not 18
SAP Commerce Cloud relies on the exact same legacy Hybris codebase you're running today. The 2026 EOL deadline forces your IT team into an 18-month migration just to maintain the status quo. If you have to spend the budget anyway, buy a modern B2B foundation.
With OroCommerce:
- Launch complex enterprise deployments in six to eight months.
- Deploy on your terms across public cloud, private cloud, or on-premise infrastructure.
- Serve contract pricing and catalog logic natively, so ERP availability never affects storefront performance
- Pay a single licensing fee that keeps your total cost of ownership 50% below SAP averages.
Lactalis kept their SAP ERP and built their commerce layer on OroCommerce. In two years, across 12 markets:
+230%
digital orders
-44%

markets, one platform
"Market deployments that previously took several years now take a few months."
Drop the Middleware Tax
SAP pushes organizations toward a broad operating model requiring expensive adjacent products. Connecting basic storefront capabilities to the ERP usually forces you to pay for SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) middleware. This locks your budget into high integration costs and constant maintenance overhead.
With OroCommerce:
- Keep your SAP ERP functioning as the back-office standard.
- Connect your commerce engine directly to the ERP via API to avoid any mandatory middleware completely.
- CRM, PIM, marketplace, and AI suite all included in one license.
- Avoid consumption-based AI token taxes and confusing “free” RISE upgrade tiers.
Multi-Site Done Right
Expanding a global SAP storefront often means your development team has to clone code. If you launch a new regional brand, IT builds a siloed backend and uses code-replication scripts to copy catalogs. This forces your staff to manually sync product updates and business rules across disjointed instances forever.
With OroCommerce:
- Manage independent brands and regional business units from one central backend.
- Share global catalog structures and complex pricing logic across every localized site.
- Launch new market storefronts in days instead of waiting quarters.

Whenever we launch a new brand or sub-site, the question isn’t ‘Why use Oro?’, it’s ‘Why not?’ And we’ve never found a reason not to.
OroCommerce is the brain of everything that we do. It handles the marketplace, the subscriptions, and the account provisioning. For us, OroCommerce is as mission-critical as it gets
