our call
Start with Turis — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
OroCommerce
OroCommerce is not a simple SaaS application; it is an enterprise B2B platform with deep, complex business logic for industrial distributors and manufacturers. Attempting to replicate its entire footprint (Symfony core, matrix pricing, RFQ, workflows, embedded CRM, and legacy ERP connectors) with an AI agent will yield an unmaintainable architectural mess.
you can rebuild
- Basic RFQ (Request for Quote) and quote negotiation workflows.
- Account hierarchies with multi-tier parent/child organization structures.
- Custom pricebooks and tier/volume pricing rules per account group.
- Basic purchase order (PO) checkout and buyer approval limits.
- Internal order management and customer account dashboards.
what you lose
- Out-of-the-box bi-directional integrations for SAP, NetSuite, Epicor, and Microsoft Dynamics.
- A enterprise-grade PHP/Symfony workflow engine designed for multi-tier procurement approvals.
- Built-in CRM context tied directly to digital commerce sessions and pipeline stages.
- Self-hosted Community Edition code base with enterprise support options.
- Multi-site B2B/B2C/Marketplace architecture supported under a single license.
