For the First Time, Code and Theory Included in Forrester’s Commerce Services Landscape
Why Commerce Is Shifting Now
This milestone reflects our progress in building human-centered design systems that help brands adapt to rapid commerce shifts.
Commerce has entered a distributed, dynamic and increasingly intelligent era. With AI reshaping how consumers interact with brands, expectations for convenience and value are at an all-time high.
Forrester's Commerce Services Landscape helps digital business, marketing and technology leaders explore commerce services providers and identify partners capable of delivering measurable impact in today’s rapidly evolving commerce environment.
Forrester points to a new era of commerce transformation where organizations are rethinking strategies to better activate existing technology. At the same time fragmented tech stacks and siloed data remain major obstacles limiting personalization, targeted media and operational efficiency.
Major forces reshaping commerce
This latest Forrester report illustrates how commerce is no longer just about transactions. Rather, it’s about designing adaptable ecosystems that flex with evolving technology and consumer expectations.
Three critical shifts are informing commerce today:
Reshaping Commerce
Urgency for New Strategies
48% of leaders say a new commerce strategy is their top business priority over the next year.
Fragmented Tech and Data
Unifying tech and data is critical for delivering seamless, personalized customer experiences at scale.
AI Disruption
AI is changing how customers find and buy products, forcing brands and their partners to adapt.
