SCAYLE Commerce Engine

SCAYLE is an enterprise commerce platform developed by SCAYLE GmbH, based in Hamburg with additional offices in Berlin, New York and London. The software evolved from ABOUT YOU’s shop technology, which has been marketed as a licensed product since 2018. In 2021, ABOUT YOU brought its B2B business together under the SCAYLE brand. SCAYLE belongs to the ABOUT YOU Group, which has been part of Zalando since 2025. The PIM is not a standalone product but an integrated module of the Commerce Engine. According to the vendor, customers include Levi’s, Harrods, Deichmann, Fielmann and FC Bayern München.

Features at a glance

• PIM module: flexible product data management with hierarchies, variants and cross-selling, individual and bulk editing, and CSV-based imports.
• Data quality and workflows: custom quality rules, checks on new products before they go live, status-based workflows and automated attribute mappings.
• Localisation and pricing: attribute-based translations and pricing in multiple currencies with different tax rates, based on time, region and campaign.
• Media: individual or bulk drag-and-drop uploads, with delivery via external CDNs.
• Feeds and reports: a reporting and feed engine for master feeds and product and order analysis.
• Commerce platform: shop, checkout, order processing, and multi-shop and multi-country capabilities on a shared codebase.

Strengths and limitations

SCAYLE is a strong option for B2C brands and retailers looking to bring their shop, order processing and product data together on a scalable platform. The software originated within a major online fashion retailer and is designed for high traffic volumes and international shops. The PIM module is tailored to commerce within SCAYLE: for B2B scenarios, complex technical data models, classification standards such as ETIM or ECLASS, print output or syndication to multiple external channels independently of the shop, you should assess whether a standalone PIM would be a better fit. SCAYLE does not publish pricing. During the selection process, you should discuss any potential effects of the Zalando acquisition on the roadmap and partner ecosystem.

Who SCAYLE is suited to

SCAYLE is suited to medium-sized and large B2C brands and retailers, particularly in fashion, lifestyle and sports, looking for an enterprise commerce platform where they can manage their product data directly.
