Sears Fostering innovation with managed access to public APIs

Sears, a major American retailer operating thousands of locations, sought to meet customers on any platform or device. To foster innovation, they needed a robust API framework that could provide external partners with managed access to product and store data. They partnered with vendor Apigee to implement this solution, utilizing the Apigee platform to build a developer portal.

Apigee provided the API management solution that powered Sears' developer portal, enabling easy registration and access for external partners. This resulted in increased API adoption among developers, the creation of new applications, and the generation of new revenue streams. Furthermore, the solution allowed Sears to develop and maintain stores across multiple platforms and to collaborate with partners on innovative shopping experiences, helping them to better delight their customers.
