The Shopify Integrated Retail Accelerator is our purpose-built solution for delivering integrated end-to-end commerce quickly and with lower risk. It’s a pre-configured blueprint for connecting online and offline commerce with backend fulfilment systems.

It combines:

  • Patchworks’ iPaaS integration platform for automation and operational efficiency.
  • Advanced capabilities of best-in-class logistics solutions such as GXO.

With this combination of world-leading technologies and deep implementation expertise, retailers can launch with a best-in-class, future-proofed tech stack in as little as four months.

Where can the Accelerator add value?

The Shopify Integrated Retail Accelerator is designed for mature mid-market and enterprise omnichannel retailers looking to modernise their retail architecture and create a unified setup that links digital, in-store and logistics.

Modernising legacy commerce stacks

Are you frustrated by the costs, complexity and rigidity of legacy or bespoke tech stacks? Are you looking to modernise your systems architecture without the lengthy timeline? The Accelerator can support a parallel overhaul of your ecommerce solution and warehousing/3PL, facilitating rapid migrations to Shopify and the likes of GXO.

Improving the ecommerce experience

For retail-focused businesses with a strong logistics stack in place but an underperforming ecommerce layer, the Accelerator can provide swift replatforming to Shopify. This can help to bring your digital experience in line with the quality of your fulfilment execution.

Upgrading logistics

If you’re a Shopify brand who’s outgrown your logistics stack and are looking for a more scalable fulfilment infrastructure, without rebuilding everything, the Accelerator supports the implementation of enterprise-grade logistics solutions. This approach enables you to strengthen the operational backbone behind a high-quality storefront.

Experimenting & validating

Whether you’re considering a new international market or testing B2B selling for the first time, the Accelerator can deliver a proof of concept MVP solution to help validate opportunities ahead of larger investment. Experiment with new growth strategies rapidly and at low cost.
