Pros
Norce is a well thought-out platform for companies with high demands on assortment management, pricing and flexibility. The platform's headless and API-based architecture gives you the freedom to build exactly what you need, but what really makes a difference today is that there are now several ready-made storefront solutions built on top of Norce. This allows you to get started quickly in a cost-effective way without compromising the strengths of the architecture.
The team at Norce also has a deep understanding of complex e-commerce and is good at concretising needs and guiding in the start-up, which makes a big difference in the early phases.
It is a flexible platform that can be easily customised to support many different industries and business models. The integrated pim is a big plus, as everything is connected from the start, and it fulfils the pim needs of most businesses. The advanced pricing logic can also be of great help in solving challenges related to price management that often arise, especially in the B2B world.
The advanced search finds documents even by words inside the content.
Workflow automations make it easier to approve, assign, and move documents according to the process.
Easily relate documents and objects to each other with metadata. Easily add new types of metadata, document classes and workflows. Easily find documents with metadata-based searches. Documents can be automatically converted to PDF with administrator-controlled sign-offs (version number, date approved, etc.) when finalised.

Cons
Working with Norce still requires a certain level of technical maturity, especially if you want to take full advantage of the platform's flexibility. It is not a ready-made solution, and this requires smooth cooperation between the organisation, the partner and the platform provider.
Norce does not have a packaged accelerator or storefront to work from.
The initial learning curve can be a bit steep for those coming from traditional systems.
Some integrations require technical configuration, and the mobile app could be more fluid.
Not possible to set separate access rights for metadata and document content.
Administrator tool (M-files Admin) could be more user-friendly, and some administrator functions are not available in M-files Cloud. Free text search works very poorly, often giving no matches unless the search string is exactly right.
