Yes. SAP Recommerce supports brand-managed recommerce. It offers back-end integration and required workflows for running recommerce as an in-house business as opposed to outsourcing to a third-party marketplace.

SAP Recommerce is built to empower managers of a recommerce business to run and operate resale in-house. We provide access to the solution, set up the users and processes, and remain available to support the scaling of your business.

SAP Recommerce is considered a headless platform and integrates with existing consumer touch points, enabling recommerce through mobile, desktop, and other devices. We do not require a mobile app or desktop app but provide a foundation that connects to your brand’s interfaces where processes are managed through applications hosted in the cloud.

There are no special requirements to use SAP Recommerce. However, a technical assessment is required to understand how to best implement the solution with your existing systems.
