SAP has stopped developing the Commerce Accelerator. It's frozen, and whatever SAP builds next, AI included, only works on a headless storefront. You'll have to move eventually. Do it once, and go straight to composable and agentic instead of rebuilding again in two years.

Alokai extends SAP Commerce Cloud with a composable frontend and an agentic commerce layer. Six reasons SAP merchants pick us.
The Accelerator is frozen and every new SAP feature is API-only. The trap is paying for composable now and paying again for agentic in two years. We take you straight to Gen 3. Strangler-fig, country by country, no big-bang cutover.
Three levers move together across a migration: technical cost, developer hours reclaimed from maintaining frozen code, and revenue from a storefront that actually converts.
Alokai Compass turns SAP Commerce Cloud into an adaptive commerce platform. Conversational product discovery. Ambient recommendations. AI conversational analytics in plain language.
Your storefront becomes a surface for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Joule. Catalog and commerce logic exposed natively, so the next billion sessions find you.
Alokai is a frontend layer. Catalog, promotions, OMS, pricing, personalization, governance: all stay in SAP CC. Business teams keep their tools.
Not 18 to 24. Strangler-fig migration ships value monthly, not annually. From day one, manage your storefront AI-natively with Alokai Commerce Intelligence.
Deprecated doesn't mean stable. It means you're paying, in cash and in ground lost.
Competitors are already headless, testing new vendors, features, and AI-native experiences. Your storefront can't follow, and every release cycle widens the gap.
Legacy performance costs conversion every day. On a frozen stack, the fix isn't a setting you can change. It's the architecture.
Maintaining deprecated code burns budget and developer hours on keeping the lights on, not on building what's next.
New SAP capabilities ship API-only. On the Accelerator, you can't reach them, AI features included.
Monolithic
Gen 1. Deprecated and frozen.
Composable
Gen 2. Agile and flexible.
Agentic
Gen 3. AI-native and adaptive.
Alokai Compass is real intelligence threaded through every surface of your storefront: search, navigation, product pages, checkout. It finds what buyers can't articulate, unsticks them the moment they hesitate, and reshapes the interface in real time as the session unfolds. Two visitors, two different storefronts, both designed around what each buyer actually needs.
Compass acts as a personalization layer on top of your existing APIs, making SAP Commerce Cloud, your search index, and every other backend more powerful. Every user action is tracked and used to personalize the interface, the API calls behind it, and everything else the storefront serves.
Not a chat widget. Not a plugin. Built natively for SAP Commerce.

More than a decade of work is sitting inside your SAP Commerce Cloud instance. Catalog logic, promotion rules, SmartEdit content operations, OMS, personalization, pricing. None of it needs to move. Alokai sits in front of SAP CC through the Unified Data Layer and preserves SmartEdit as the authoring surface for business users. Your merchandisers keep the tools they know. Your developers get a modern frontend stack.

Alokai connects to SAP Commerce Cloud, S/4HANA, Engagement Cloud (Emarsys), Service Cloud, BTP, and Joule. Plus Contentful, Contentstack, Storyblok, Algolia, Coveo, Bloomreach, Cloudinary, and the rest of the composable ecosystem. Alokai Connect normalizes the integration surface so swapping a vendor is a configuration change, not a rebuild.

The migration is inevitable. Doing it twice isn't. Book a technical deep dive with an Alokai architect who has run this migration before. We will walk your current SAP CC instance, assess the leapfrog path, and give you a realistic timeline.
