BetterCommerce vs. Sana Commerce: Choosing the right commerce platform

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce built-in DAM centralises marketing materials and product media, offering version control, tagging, custom categorisation, and scheduling tools to streamline content creation and publishing.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce manages product images and videos but lacks comprehensive DAM features like centralised asset storage, robust scheduling, and version control, limiting its effectiveness.

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce provides a central hub for managing digital assets and handles complex customer-specific pricing. Its dynamic pricing features easily support global B2B markets.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce provides basic B2B storefront management, including product images, videos, and bundles. However, it lacks advanced asset management and dynamic pricing features, with workarounds needed for complex pricing.  

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce streamlines your B2B sales cycle with built-in tools for quotes, cart sharing, and team purchasing, unlike Sana Commerce, which depends on ERP integrations. It offers a unified solution, eliminating the need for complex workarounds.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce relies on your ERP for managing quotes, cart sharing, and pricing structures. While you can view quotes and save items via user accounts, sharing is limited, and ERP integration is required for features like volume-based discounts and checkout customisation.

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce offers a unified B2B platform, enabling seamless quote management, cart sharing, and team purchasing, unlike Sana Commerce, which relies on ERP integration. It streamlines your entire B2B sales cycle, empowering teams and simplifying the buying process in one platform.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce focuses on B2B customer management with self-service portals and account tools. It supports custom pricing, contract pricing, and volume discounts, while ERP integration allows product visibility restrictions and role-based access controls for order approvals and budget limits.     

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce gives you full control over inventory and fulfillment without complex ERP integrations. Features include split shipment allocation, order modifications, and detailed inventory management, all in one platform, along with seamless integration with production systems and built-in purchase order management.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce relies on ERP integration for order management, displaying inventory and processing orders, but its own features are basic. Advanced functionalities like split shipment allocation, complex order modifications, and detailed inventory control are typically managed within the ERP, so it’s essential to ensure your ERP meets your specific inventory and fulfillment requirements. 

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce provides advanced tools that go beyond basic discounts and sorting found in Sana Commerce. It enables targeted campaigns and attractive product layouts to boost sales. 

With seamless search engine integration and an AI-driven recommendation engine, it personalises product suggestions, enhancing conversions and customer satisfaction.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce provides basic promotional tools and product sorting but lacks support for complex promotions and appealing layouts, requiring additional solutions. 

Search functionality depends on your ERP system, offering only basic keyword matching. It does not include its own recommendation engine, but some integrations with marketing platforms may provide this feature based on customer behavior.

BetterCommerce

BetterCommerce strengthens customer relationships with features like recurring billing, tiered subscriptions, and loyalty programs, enabling strategic models and rewards. This generates recurring revenue on one platform while streamlining B2B billing and encouraging repeat business.

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 enhances your B2B operations with robust automation and AI features, moving beyond basic order confirmations. Automate complex workflows and use our AI for personalised recommendations and marketing automation, all within a single platform to improve efficiency and customer experiences.

Sana Commerce

Sana Commerce provides limited automation, primarily supporting basic functions like order confirmations through ERP integration. Extensive workflow automation needs additional development, and while AI personalisation isn't built-in, it may be available via ERP or third-party integrations. Overall, it relies on ERP integration and lacks advanced AI features.
