Architecture - comerzzia

Maximum execution capability

Java-based platform

The comerzzia platform includes Java-based technology at the point of sale, ensuring an open architecture built on a shared codebase powered by one of the industry’s most established languages. We rely on a mature, future-ready technology widely taught across European universities and embedded in a large share of application development training programmes. Gartner says it too.

Core technologies:

POS: JavaFX, HTML5 and CSS3
Internal services: Java, Spring Framework and Kafka, among other technologies

Open, flexible, modular and service-oriented architecture

comerzzia’s modular and flexible architecture is designed to operate within ecosystems where applications work together seamlessly and integrate through multiple standards, delivering the most efficient solution for every retail environment. It also supports multi-tenant scenarios.

Its Java architecture enables fast, flexible deployment across multiple environments – including SaaS and on-premise – operating systems and technologies such as virtualisation and containers.

Source code is shared with clients and partners, allowing them to extend standard capabilities and tailor the platform to their own business needs, while delivering a distinctive omnichannel experience.

No more complex integrations

comerzzia’s architecture is built around a compact omnichannel approach and is designed to integrate with leading ERPs such as SAP and Navision, as well as third-party corporate systems including CRM, OMS, WMS and e-commerce platforms. These third-party applications may be open source, free or proprietary, giving retailers greater freedom to optimise costs and choose the best-fit ecosystem.

Integrations are simple, transparent and seamless for end users. We support any integration model through an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), backed by continuous monitoring processes that make management, control and maintenance far easier.

A complete REST API layer, endless possibilities

comerzzia provides a comprehensive centralised REST API services layer that can connect any channel – POS, app, e-commerce or third-party services – to deliver any customer journey a retailer wants to create, making full use of the platform’s capabilities.

This layer is easily customisable and extensible, ensuring full alignment with each client’s needs while preserving the existing functionality and assets already in place across current sales channels.

A mobile-first ecosystem

comerzzia is built for a retail reality where mobility plays an ever more important role in both the store and the customer experience. Our powerful API-led architecture, combined with robust integrations with hardware manufacturers and payment gateway providers, makes that possible.

Java-based self-checkout solutions, FastPOS, Scan&Go, clienteling and native Loyalty App capabilities are part of our current offering, alongside powerful integrations such as WhatsApp Business. Retail moves fast. So does the technology behind it.

The fastest way to deploy retail technology

comerzzia supports ARTS standards

comerzzia supports industry standards that make it easier to integrate third-party software applications and hardware devices, providing a defined framework that speaks the same language as the rest of your retail ecosystem. This enables faster integration, lower costs and smoother shopping experiences through loyalty programmes, inventory lookup, price checks and many other connected retail services we understand and integrate.
