Emporix runs headless commerce infrastructure for B2B and sophisticated B2C operators, with pre-built AI workflows handling quote approvals, pricing logic, order orchestration, and account hierarchies. The platform targets manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors moving off legacy monoliths who need composable APIs without building everything from scratch. Buyers are CTOs and digital leaders at mid-market to enterprise B2B sellers who want agent-driven automation baked into the commerce layer rather than bolted on.
> pick this if
Pick this if you're a mid-market or enterprise B2B seller — manufacturer, distributor, or wholesaler — with in-house engineering capacity, moving off a legacy monolith and looking for composable APIs with B2B workflows (quotes, contracts, hierarchies) already built in.
> look elsewhere if
Look elsewhere if you're a D2C brand on Shopify, an SMB without dedicated developers, or an enterprise committed to a SAP/Salesforce/commercetools suite where integration cost outweighs Emporix's B2B depth.

> how you'd use it
- Industrial parts distributor, $80M GMV, 15-person digital team with 3 in-house developersReplacing a 12-year-old SAP Commerce deployment; needs contract pricing, customer-specific catalogs, and quote-to-order flows exposed via API to a Next.js storefront and integrated with SAP ECC→ Cuts quote turnaround from 48 hours to under 4 by automating tiered approvals, and retires the monolith over an 18-month phased migration
