The e-commerce space is saturated with platforms that are costly, rigid, and outdated. Standard solutions like SAP Commerce Cloud and Magento often lead to overwhelming license fees, endless customization, and painful maintenance cycles.
As engineers, we asked: "What if we could build a framework that gave more value for the same budget?
VELOX was born out of that desire. It is our answer to bloated, over-engineered platforms. Built to be lean, modular, and open-source, VELOX helps companies launch and scale e-commerce platforms without the baggage of legacy software.
