BetterCommerce vs. Sana Commerce: Choosing the right commerce platform

BetterCommerce

Take advantage of advanced features like version control, detailed tagging, and customisable categorisation for effortless retrieval. Plus, schedule content creation and publishing workflows to streamline marketing efforts.

Sana Commerce

While Sana Commerce allows uploading and managing product images and videos, its digital asset management leans towards basic organisation. It lacks features like centralised storage for all digital assets beyond product media, making it unsuitable for a comprehensive DAM system. 

You can create text and image content blocks for your storefront, but functionalities for scheduling automated publishing or maintaining different content versions are limited.

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce empowers you with a central hub to manage all your digital assets, from product visuals to marketing materials. Our built-in features handle even the most complex customer-specific pricing structures, eliminating the need for workarounds. 

Plus, with dynamic pricing capabilities, you can effortlessly cater to your global B2B market.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce offers core features for managing your B2B commerce storefront. You can upload product images and videos, create product bundles, and manage basic content for your store. However, its asset management capabilities are limited, lacking features like a centralised library or advanced search. 

While it integrates with your ERP for product variations, complex customer-specific pricing may require workarounds or additional tools. Similarly, dynamic pricing based on factors like location isn't built-in.     

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce empowers you to streamline your B2B sales cycle, unlike Sana Commerce which relies on your existing ERP for functionalities like quotes and cart sharing. Our platform offers a unified experience, eliminating the need for complex integrations and workarounds. Generate, manage, and track quotes directly within BetterCommerce. 

Plus, facilitate seamless collaboration between your B2B buyers with easy cart sharing and team purchasing functionalities. BetterCommerce goes beyond basic ERP integration, equipping you with the tools to manage your entire B2B sales cycle efficiently.

Sana Commerce

While Sana Commerce itself doesn't handle quote inquiries or cart sharing directly, it leverages your existing ERP system for these functionalities. You can potentially create and manage quotes within your ERP and view them on the Sana Commerce storefront. Similarly, customers might be able to save items in their carts through user accounts, but sharing functionality may be limited. 

Sana Commerce integrates with your ERP's pricing structures, so quantity or volume-based discounts set in your ERP will be reflected during checkout. Overall, it relies on your ERP for these functionalities, offering some customisation options for the checkout process itself.    

BetterCommerce

Unlike Sana Commerce, which relies on your ERP for functionalities like quotes and cart sharing, BetterCommerce offers a unified platform for a seamless B2B sales cycle. Generate, manage, and track quotes directly within BetterCommerce, and empower your teams and customers with easy cart sharing and team purchasing. 

BetterCommerce goes beyond basic ERP integration, equipping you with the tools to manage your entire B2B sales cycle efficiently. Consolidate functionalities, empower your teams, and simplify B2B buying for your customers – all within a single platform.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce prioritises B2B customer management with features like self-service portals and account management tools. It allows you to create customised pricing structures for each client through functionalities like contract pricing, volume discounts, and tiered pricing. 

Additionally, integration with your ERP system (e.g., SAP, Microsoft Dynamics) can potentially restrict product visibility and set access controls based on user roles within a customer's organisation. This means you can manage permissions for order approvals, budget limitations, and specific account functionalities.       

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce empowers you to take full control of your inventory and fulfillment, eliminating reliance on complex ERP integrations. Our robust system offers advanced features like split shipment allocation, complex order modifications, and in-depth inventory control – all within a single platform. 

BetterCommerce seamlessly integrates with your existing production systems for effortless coordination, and provides built-in functionalities for managing purchase orders. This eliminates the need for workarounds and ensures a smooth flow from order receipt to fulfillment.

Sana Commerce

While Sana Commerce boasts comprehensive order management through ERP integration, its own functionalities focus on core aspects. It integrates with your ERP to display inventory, manage order processing, and offer various payment options. 

However, advanced features like split shipment allocation, complex order modifications, production schedule coordination, purchase order management, and in-depth inventory control likely reside within your ERP system. Sana Commerce relies heavily on this integration, so ensure your ERP has the necessary functionalities to meet your specific inventory and fulfillment needs.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce provides basic tools for promotions and merchandising, allowing you to create discounts and define some product sorting within categories. However, for complex promotional structures, targeted campaigns, or visually appealing product layouts, you might need additional solutions. 

Search functionalities rely on your integrated ERP system, which may offer basic keyword matching but lack advanced features for a more refined search experience. Notably, Sana Commerce doesn't have its own recommendation engine, but some integrations with marketing automation platforms might offer recommendation functionalities based on customer behavior.    

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce goes beyond basic sales transactions to cultivate long-lasting customer relationships. Unlike Sana Commerce, our platform offers built-in functionalities for recurring billing, tiered subscription plans, and loyalty programs. This empowers you to implement strategic subscription models, reward loyal customers, and generate recurring revenue streams – all within a single platform. Streamline your B2B billing process, incentivize repeat business, and unlock the full potential of your customer base with BetterCommerce.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce currently lacks functionalities for recurring billing, tiered subscription plans, or built-in loyalty programs. While you might be able to create tiered pricing structures within your connected ERP system to offer volume-based discounts, this wouldn't translate directly to subscription management.        

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce empowers you to streamline your B2B operations with robust built-in automation and AI functionalities, unlike Sana Commerce's reliance on external integrations. Automate complex workflows beyond basic order confirmations, and leverage our powerful AI engine for personalised product recommendations and marketing automation.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce offers limited automation compared to competitors. While basic functionalities like sending order confirmations might be automatable through ERP integration, extensive workflow automation likely requires additional development. Personalisation through AI is also not built-in, but your ERP or third-party integrations might offer functionalities like product recommendations or chatbots. Overall, Sana Commerce relies on ERP integration for automation and lacks its own advanced AI features.
