Today’s consumers want their needs met quickly, personalized to their tastes, and delivered with the utmost convenience. These high expectations have placed businesses under pressure to adapt and cater quickly to their customer’s ever-evolving demands. With a composable commerce solution, ecommerce brands can meet these expectations by choosing the most appropriate commerce components and combining them to suit their unique needs.

Just like how you can mix and match different pieces of a puzzle to make your own unique picture, composable commerce allows businesses to mix and match different parts of an online store. This way, businesses can create a store that fits their specific needs and makes shopping easier for their customers. 

In this episode of The Checkout, Gavin Ballard, founder and CEO of Disco Labs, explains how you can optimize your operational efficiencies with composable technology. 

For context, Gavin is the leading expert on composable commerce. He’s built technology stacks for billion-dollar companies (including HarperCollins, Four Seasons, and JB HiFi). And he’s learned that high revenues don't necessarily mean complex operations along the way.

Fortunately, Valentin Radu, founder and CEO of Omniconvert, with 16+ years of experience working with eCommerce brands, has developed the CVO methodology that has unlocked growth for 100+ brands, including Samsung and Avon. And today, on The Checkout, Valentin walks you through this methodology for free.
