How Can our Accelerators Save You Money? 

Our accelerators leverage pre-built and pre-integrated technologies on a Salesforce storefront. By providing ready-made templates and tested components, we enable retailers to launch in as little as 4–6 weeks*.   

By reducing development times, you will save on labour, opportunity, testing and post-launch costs. Here’s how: 

1. Reduced Development and Labour Costs 

Building a traditional e-commerce site from scratch usually demands a large team of developers, designers, project managers, and QA testers over several months, leading to high labour expenses. 

With our pre-configured templates and components on a Salesforce storefront, brands can minimise the need for extensive development resources. 

For example, a luxury fashion brand might typically need 6–9 months to build a custom site with bespoke integrations. By using our pre-built accelerators, which include pre-integrated payment, inventory, and shipping components, that same brand could launch in as little as six weeks. This accelerated timeline translates to substantial savings in labour costs, allowing the brand to reallocate budget toward sales or marketing initiatives. 

We still offer full flexibility for customisation beyond the out-of-the-box features. The same brand, for instance, could choose to customise a specific feature, like their PLP filters, with precise control over customisation time and budget. 

 2. Minimised Opportunity Costs and Early Revenue Generation 

Launch delays come with opportunity costs: every day a site isn’t live means missed sales and customer engagement. Brands that launch faster start earning sooner, improving cash flow and maximising early ROI. 

For example, if a fashion retailer’s summer collection site is delayed from April to July, they miss the prime season and lose sales to competitors. By using an accelerator to launch in April, they can capture peak sales, recoup investments sooner, and avoid the financial hit of missing critical sales periods. 

3. Reduced Testing and Quality Assurance Costs 

Testing is crucial but can delay launches and drive-up costs, especially for custom sites that require multiple rounds to fix bugs and integrate third-party systems. 

Our accelerators, however, come pre-integrated with 3rd party technologies, validated and optimised for Salesforce, reducing testing cycles and saving time and money. For instance, a beauty brand integrating third-party payment gateways can rely on our pre-tested Adyen components to minimise post-launch issues, lowering QA and support costs.  

4. Lower Maintenance and Support Costs Post-Launch 

The expenses associated with site maintenance and troubleshooting can be high, especially for sites with custom code and complex integrations that often require ongoing developer support. A rapid launch means a simpler, more manageable codebase that is less prone to errors or compatibility issues. The result? Lower maintenance costs post-launch and a stable, predictable storefront.
