The Framework for a Best-In-Class Tech Stack

Integrating Constructor's Search & Product Discovery platform with your PIM, CMS, ecommerce platform, and frontend enables you to harness the full potential of your product, clickstream, search results, and behavioral data.

Ecommerce platforms

Composable commerce platforms allow you to easily build and deploy commerce experiences, improve cost efficiencies, increase productivity, minimize maintenance effort, and more.

Constructor integrates with ecommerce platforms to enhance the product discovery experience, including Salesforce, commercetools, Shopify, Emporix, Elastic Path, and more. These connectors offer the following benefits:

• Initial template development is performed by SI partners or customers leveraging Constructor's open source tools, documentation and guidance from Constructor engineers.
• In just a few clicks, you’re able to connect your product catalog for ingestion and regular updates to Constructor (collections, base products, and variations included).
• They use respective APIs to fetch catalog data and provide a base transformation layer that automatically maps key catalog data into Constructor.

Product Information Management

As a single source of truth for product data, an API-first PIM helps you to provide accurate product information to customers so they can make informed purchasing decisions faster, better, and more often. 

Constructor integrates with PIMs like Akeneo and others to deliver the following benefits:

• Automatically integrate all product data (including categories, products, and variations) from your PIM to Constructor in real time.
• From the initial catalog ingestion to ongoing automatic updates, these connectors  mean minimal manual maintenance for product data interoperability.  
• The API-first connectivity is set up according to best practices and kept up to date for future API changes. Customers can monitor the catalog synchronization status on the Constructor self-service dashboard.

Content Management Systems

Composable CMSs empower you to create highly customized digital experiences faster and manage content more easily with highly-structured modular content. 

Constructor integrates with CMSs like Contentstack, Contentful, and Amplience to deliver the following benefits.

• These connectors offer a turnkey solution for managing Constructor Collections and syncing them back to entries in your CMS.
• Constructor integrates with CMSs via webhook to enable instant indexing and personalized recommendations so a content manager can provide highly personalized shopping experiences and search results.
• Behavioral data from Collections pages will improve Constructor solutions and boost performance across every moment in your customers’ journey.

Frontend UI

Open-source frontend platforms help developers to build fast, accessible, and beautiful storefronts at scale. They provide elements like buttons, checkboxes and modals out of the box. 

Constructor integrates with frontend platforms like Alokai and Builder.io to deliver the following benefits.

• The integration allows you to leverage Constructor’s recommendation engine to provide personalized product recommendations based on user behavior and preferences. By offering tailored recommendations, you can increase customer engagement, cross-selling opportunities, and ultimately drive more sales.
• Constructor provides a comprehensive AI-driven, fast, and accurate search functionality for your ecommerce store, ensuring that your customers can quickly find the products they are looking for.
• Constructor’s autocomplete functionality provides real-time suggestions as shoppers type in the search bar. This helps them to discover relevant products more efficiently, reducing search time, enhancing the overall shopping experience, and increasing conversions.

As experts in implementation and integration, SIs work with brands and retailers to consult on best practices and help build reliable, scalable tech stacks. 

Constructor works with a number of SIs like Publicis Sapient, Deloitte Digital, EPAM, Apply Digital, Aries Solutions, Commerce Architects, Grid Dynamics, and  Orium, who bring the following to any digital transformation journey:
