In April 2020 we introduced Jumpstart eCommerce Accelerator - a new Elastic Path accelerator to rapidly launch your eCommerce channel.
For years, B2B businesses have struggled with getting eCommerce up and running quickly. The process of getting a B2B eCommerce site launched is typically a 1-2 year project that swallows the time and resources of an already lean team.
Thankfully, there is now a way to take a more efficient approach to eCommerce. Jumpstart eCommerce Accelerator eliminates the time, cost, and effort of defining and building the front end experience of your eCommerce site. This accelerator speeds up your time to market.
About Jumpstart
Jumpstart was created to give your customers an exceptional eCommerce experience, while providing you the flexibility to make strategic decisions and see ROI in weeks, not years.
The Jumpstart eCommerce Accelerator integrates with your Elastic Path software and ERP to get your eCommerce business up and running, with all of the B2B features you need, in record time.
