WHY NEXTUPLE?
Deep Domain Expertise, Transformational Product, and Flexible Commercials
We Know OMNI Order Management
At Nextuple we built our set of microservices to work with your legacy OMS. We’ve extended and integrated with the major legacy platforms (Ex. IBM Sterling, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Korber) across on prem and cloud versions. As a result, we can bring much faster value creation. With several of the "godfathers of OMS" and over 15 architects on staff that have 12+ years' experience with legacy OMS products, we’ve seen it all. What makes us unique is that we’ve taken this experience not to just build the right feature sets, but to build in flexibility in how you deploy those features in your current environment and commercial models that work for your business.
Enterprise Grade Microservice Solutions
With Nextuple you get enterprise grade products from a company that knows how to execute co-development. When this comes together it means rapid time to market. Our average implementation is 3-5 months – including the integrations required to your core systems. We can accomplish this because:
- Our product managers and architectures have on average 15+ years’ experience in the domain and come from companies like WLT, BBY, Lowes, AMZ, IBM, and Blue Yonder.
- Our experience as a legacy OMS SI has given us firsthand experience of the gaps in these products and common pain paints across retailers.
- With over 100 retail OMS implementations across our team, we understand the evolution of these services at a typical retailer. Therefore, our designs are future proofed to where we know you are headed.
- 30% of our implementations are co-development in nature which has allowed us to bring in the best feature sets from Grocery, Luxury and Speciality retail.
- With Enterprise grade product comes performance. Inherit in all our architecture and design choices is scalability. All our services are performance benchmarked at peak loads and have been battle tested in production at some of the world’s largest grocers and retailers.
- Our products come with comprehensive functional and integration test cases allowing you to quickly deploy automation against these.
Retail Focused Tech Stack Options
Nextuple uses a very modern stack for its microservices using languages, frameworks, and components like Java, Springboot, Redis, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, React JS, React Native etc. These options are tested with large volume clients and are preferred software components being used across the Retailer tech landscape. We chose these components and approaches for the following reasons:
- The knowledge base of these products is well known and the chances of retailers having existing teams with this product experience is high.
- A document-based NoSQL database like MongoDB that is schema-less and allows for ease of adding new attributes as the service evolves.
- For high throughput high performance micro-services, we implemented the Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern to keep read/write separation for best performance.
- React Native to support the flexibility of deployment to Android or IOS devices.
A Flexible and Composable Architecture
Most SaaS based OMS products are consumption based today. That could be transactional or component-based consumption. At Nextuple we’ve designed our microservices so that you can consume services down at the subcomponent level - all unmetered. This allows small, iterative deployments and rapid value creation. Our architecture was designed by domain experts with 15+ years' experience working with leading retailers. As a result, you’ll get products with:
- Event driven architecture – allows for building scalable, decoupled, and responsive micro services.
- Flexibility to connect to your existing services such as item or node.
- We’ll take your existing contract and work with it vs asking you create another version of that service. This brings down your cost of ownership, maintenance, and deployment cost.
- If you are consuming multiple microservices from us, we can leverage them across all of our products. This includes functional services like node and infrastructure services like authentication.
- Our architecture supports high availability though the Kubernetes deployment framework.
- Ideal Flexibility - Ex. our promising engine can work with your legacy inventory service such as Sterling OMS or Blue Yonder commits to get Inventory ATP data.
Commercial Models
Nextuple supports multiple ownership models for our services:
- Co-developed solutions with rewards for IP sharing
- Mix of licensed packaged product with a roadmap and custom co-developed solution
- Custom solution with rewards for IP sharing
- Saas / Managed on your cloud
- Binary deployment with option to Purchase Source code
Note, these solutions can be delivered in a metered or unmetered fashion.
