Evaluation

⭐ Highlights

Scayle is a spin-off of About You’s proprietary shop system, providing proven scalability and relevant features tailored for B2C (fashion) retailers.

👍 When to use

Ideal for large-scale B2C retailers (e.g., fashion-focused businesses).

👎 When to avoid

Projects with advanced B2B requirements and marketplaces
Projects with unique requirements that require frequent or extensive custom code changes.
Companies that require an on-premise solution for compliance, data security, or other reasons.

⁠

Functionality

Scayle is focussed on providing the relevant B2C features. It’s typically combined with a CMS like
Storyblok
⁠
or
Contentful
⁠
, as it has no CMS-capabilities.

Development approach

Bird’s eye view

A typical setup could look like this:
⁠

⁠
⁠
When building a project with Scayle, the typical steps may include:
Manual configuration of your shop in the Panel
Development of your Custom Storefront based either on their templates or from-scratch (see below). The checkout is provided as a SaaS application, which is embedded into the custom storefront.
Integration with other systems via self-developed Custom Middleware
Projects typically operate their custom storefront and middleware by themselves.

⁠

Storefront approach

Scayle is a headless SaaS platform, requiring you to build and operate your own storefront.
They provide a Nuxt.js-based template (
Storefront Boilerplate
⁠
), but the checkout is rendered by Scayle and can only be configured.

⁠

Panel (Admin UI)

Scayle is managed via its admin UI called Panel. All of its functionality is also accessible through the Admin API.
The panel can be extended by implementing add-ons
🌐
⁠
and using the micro-architecture approach.

Licence costs

Licence costs are always negotiated individually with each customer. For a general idea, you can refer to About You’s earnings call presentation
🌐
⁠
, which indicates an average recurring revenue (ARR) of €1.8M per customer.
