Patchworks joins the MACH Alliance to accelerate composable commerce

Traditionally integrating software packages together can be hard. But composable commerce, Headless, API first, and cloud-native integrations - these are key components to modern retail architectures which make this easier. Ecommerce brands have waited a long time for a platform that empowers the agility of integration. And now there is.

We are pleased to announce today that we have joined the MACH Alliance to offer our partners and retailers worldwide a truly composable integration platform. Our integration platform as a service (iPaaS) is now officially part of the group of independent tech companies dedicated to advocating for open, best-of-breed technology ecosystems built on microservices.

A MACH (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS and Headless) architecture gives companies a deeper level of agility, allowing them to deliver new features to customers at speed. Patchworks’ cloud-native, microservice architecture, hosted on Amazon Webservices connects systems through our outstanding user experience that connects any system with an API to any other platform utilising pre-built connectors, our Connector Builder, and our drag and drop workflows.

As organisations grow and adapt on their eCommerce journeys, they need an iPaaS that, by definition, is composable and can grow and scale alongside them. Selecting Patchworks as an iPaaS provider means choosing a partner that embraces the true essence of composable architecture.

Jim Herbert, CEO at Patchworks said: “Joining the MACH Alliance underscores our product’s alignment with the core principles of modern architecture and solidifies our position as the perfect choice for businesses seeking a best-of-breed composable integration platform.

“We firmly believe that by embracing MACH principles, businesses can unlock the full potential of digital transformation, ensuring they stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape. Using Patchworks, they can accelerate, streamline and grow their retail operations.”

Conor Barr, Chief Product Officer at Patchworks said: “As companies aim to future-proof and scale their operations, modern architecture principles are essential for achieving seamless integrations, all aligned with the goals of composable commerce. The MACH principles unlock the necessary tools for navigating this rapidly evolving landscape. Our iPaaS empowers businesses to break free from traditional, monolithic approaches to integration and embrace the agility, scalability, and adaptability that MACH principles bring.

With Patchwork as your iPaaS provider it means choosing a partner that embraces the true essence of composable architecture. As companies grow and adapt on this journey, they need an iPaaS that, by definition, is composable and can grow and scale alongside them.”

Casper Ramussen, MACH Alliance President, said: “It’s great to see Patchworks’ ambition driving forward the work of the Alliance and offering businesses the opportunity to embrace the capabilities inherent with MACH technologies for the best future digital experiences. Building a strong MACH community has always been a key focus for us and is critical to the success of MACH across all industries.”
