EvolutionX vs. Sana Commerce Cloud

For the majority of our customers they shop online, so for us to be able to offer an account walkthrough via Teams, it has been truly powerful stuff for our sales team to hop on a Teams call and run through the account functionality with a customer for functions such as cost control measures, quick lists, saved baskets, recurring orders etc. The customer can really get a thorough understanding of the features available and opt for what they need to best suit their purchasing needs. We utilise this everyday and the feedback on functions has been that they haven't seen this before from any online business supplier they've ordered with before such as Viking, Lyreco etc. It doesn't work as well for customer retention, as the orders are transactional and there are no follow-up emails you can automate as an email template in EvolutionX, this would be valuable to growing business further.

Its suited more for B2B-focused or mid-size companies that want to have a more robust platform for their eCommerce and don't want to invest that much (like the case of Magento and other big names). If you want to make constant UX and design enhancements and tests, you'll have a couple of headaches. It's not that bad but; you wont be able to do it all without customizing and spending good money on it.

• Running a promotion is really easy and simple.
• Product search is great.
• Integration with many other software and services is well supported.

• Quote Workflow--pretty simple and easy to understand and implement
• Easy-to-learn admin tools
• Very flexible/customizable initial configuration

• Support post-production has been lackluster at best.
• Most features work well, but some are missing fundamental elements. Quick lists are a prime example. Quick Lists are a fantastic way to encourage B2B orders online, but not being able to organize where an item exists within a list almost makes it unusable for a large portion of our customers.
• No account payment options!

• The service could be much better. It's expensive and hard to monitor because they only check cases twice a week (if you don't have a pre-plan).
• The language and different time schedules have been an issue for tech problems. They're in Holland and Ukraine and we're in Mexico, and is really hard to find developers who know the platform to hire as an extra resource.
• You can't import SKUS to populate a landing page programmatically.

It is a good platform with good customizable features for our customers.

It is easy to use and as they have been updating their platform, it has gotten even much more easier to utilize and navigate.

They are extremely efficient and quick to answer/respond to all of my questions an concerns. They also provided me with support articles that I can save and look back on in the future.

To be frank, we haven't tried any other products apart from EvolutionX, as this was one of the tested software's during the initial phase. We didn't have a chance, and we don't really want to switch between any other products. We are happy with EvoX. The reason we choose EvoX was, pricing, support and the integrations offered.

Sana Commerce is not as robust, flexible (or expensive) as Magento but is better (and more expensive) than Shopify. It is well balanced and you can customize according to your clients' needs. They are constantly upgrading their platform so you can keep your eCommerce up to date, but you must consider an extra cost to adapt it to the latest version.

• With account setup this has saved a lot of time, where typically it may have taken 10 minutes to setup an account, customer can now do this themselves and even make changes, our old site relied entirely on a staff member and this has therefore reduced overhead
• With exposure to Fusion Data our categories have grown hugely, particularly Beeswift into workwear where we never sold any workwear but the rare incidental from VOW Wholesale, we've been allowed to grow into other categories more frequently with returning customers and new.

• The ROI was 18% more than expected
• Our traffic has increased by 250%
• Some of our clients think our site is too complex
