Turning fragmented AI offerings into a one-of-its-kind curated, accessible marketplace for enterprise adoption



AI adoption is non-negotiable for enterprises. Yet even with the keenest intent, finding the right solutions and knowing where to begin remains a challenge.
Workato recognised this early. AI offerings were expanding rapidly, but discovery was fragmented and unstructured. Enterprise teams had no single place to explore trusted solutions, compare options, and move forward with confidence. At the same time, partners building AI solutions lacked a focused channel to reach the right enterprise audience.
Workato set out to change this by creating a unified B2B marketplace for enterprise AI solutions, bringing together AI agents, accelerators, and partner-built offerings into one structured platform.
To bring this vision to life, Workato partnered with StoreHippo to build a global, B2B multi-vendor marketplace, turning a fragmented AI landscape into a clear, scalable path for enterprise adoption.

Industry: Enterprise AI & Automation / iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service)
Locations: Global
Use Case: B2B and B2B2C Multi Vendor Marketplace
Workato was building a growing ecosystem of AI agents and partner-led solutions. But enabling enterprises to discover, evaluate, and act on these offerings in a structured way required more than just making them available online.
The challenge was to create a marketplace that could organise diverse solution types, support partner-led distribution, and deliver a seamless discovery experience for a global enterprise audience.
Building this ecosystem came with specific challenges:
Workato needed a flexible, scalable platform that could structure its AI ecosystem, enable partner participation, and deliver a seamless enterprise discovery experience.
With StoreHippo’s native multi-vendor marketplace capabilities, Workato brought its AI solutions and partner ecosystem onto a single, unified platform. The marketplace enabled enterprises to discover, evaluate, and engage with AI agents, accelerators, and partner-built solutions in a structured way.
Powered by a flexible, headless architecture, StoreHippo enabled custom solution listings, partner onboarding, and advanced search and filtering tailored to different solution types and enterprise needs. This created a streamlined marketplace ecosystem that simplified discovery, strengthened partner participation, and improved how enterprises access and adopt AI solutions.
Here is what Workato achieved with StoreHippo:
Workato leveraged StoreHippo’s native multi-vendor marketplace capabilities to create a centralised platform for enterprise AI solutions. The marketplace brought together Workato’s own offerings and partner-built solutions into one structured ecosystem, enabling enterprises to explore and evaluate trusted options in a single place.
For partners, the platform provided a streamlined way to publish and manage their solutions, while directly reaching Workato’s enterprise customer base. This created a discovery channel that reduced evaluation time and simplified how enterprises engage with AI solutions.
StoreHippo enabled Workato to launch its AI marketplace in just two weeks for Phase 1, significantly reducing time-to-market for a complex, custom-built platform. This rapid deployment allowed Workato to quickly operationalise its marketplace vision and begin onboarding solutions without long development cycles.
By leveraging pre-built marketplace capabilities and a flexible architecture, Workato could focus on structuring its ecosystem rather than building core functionality from scratch accelerating both launch and early adoption.
Workato needed a structured way for partners to reach its enterprise customer base, looking for AI solutions. StoreHippo enabled a vendor-submission and listing framework that allows ISVs, technology providers, system integrators, and domain experts to publish, manage, and showcase their AI solutions within the marketplace.
Partners gained a dedicated interface to control their listings, while the B2B and B2B2C marketplace capabilities showcased solutions from both Workato and its ecosystem, creating a unified view for enterprise buyers. At the same time, Workato maintained visibility and oversight across all partner offerings, ensuring consistency, credibility, and a well-governed distribution ecosystem.
Workato needed a marketplace that could serve a global enterprise audience across geographies and data regions. StoreHippo enabled a fully digital platform accessible across key regions including the USA, Europe, Singapore, Japan, Australia, and Israel, ensuring a consistent experience for enterprise users worldwide.
Built with native multilingual capabilities, the marketplace was launched in English to establish a unified starting point, with the flexibility to introduce additional languages as Workato expands into new markets. This allows the platform to scale globally while maintaining a seamless and standardised experience across regions.
StoreHippo enabled Workato to bring structure and clarity to AI solution discovery through custom taxonomy, category management, and tailored listing formats. Diverse solution types like Genies, MCP servers, and accelerators were organised using distinct structures and attributes, making them easier to understand and compare.
Department-based browsing across Sales, HR, IT, Finance, and Operations, along with advanced search, filtering, and tagging, allowed enterprise users to quickly navigate and identify relevant solutions. This structured discovery framework reduced complexity and created a more intuitive, efficient way for enterprises to explore and evaluate AI solutions.
Workato came with a detailed Figma design that needed to be implemented exactly as planned. StoreHippo enabled a fully customised frontend theme, ensuring the marketplace matched the intended design, layout, and user flows.
This included department-based navigation, distinct layouts for different solution types, and tailored UI structures for Genies, MCP servers, and accelerators. The result was a clean, intuitive interface that aligns with Workato’s ecosystem and offers a seamless experience for enterprise users.
StoreHippo’s built-in catalogue and discovery modules enabled Workato to manage multi-category AI solution listings efficiently. Enterprises could search solutions using keyword-based discovery across names, tags, and descriptions, helping them quickly find relevant options.
In addition, RFQ capabilities allowed users to submit specific requirements and queries directly through the platform. This enabled Workato to capture intent, respond with tailored solutions, and bridge the gap between discovery and decision-making, making the marketplace more actionable for enterprise use.
Built on a flexible, headless architecture, the platform provides Workato with a strong foundation for continuous enhancements. Planned improvements like pagination and mobile experience optimisation can be implemented without disrupting the core system.
This ensures the marketplace can evolve with growing catalogue sizes, expanding user needs, and future feature additions, delivering long-term scalability, performance, and adaptability.
With StoreHippo powering its multi-vendor AI marketplace, Workato built a scalable platform to structure enterprise AI solution discovery. The marketplace brings together AI agents, accelerators, and partner-built solutions into one unified ecosystem, giving enterprises a clear and reliable way to explore what’s available.
By enabling structured partner onboarding, custom solution categorisation, and intuitive discovery journeys, StoreHippo helped Workato organise its growing ecosystem. Built-in catalogue management and RFQ capabilities further made the platform actionable, allowing enterprises to move from exploration to engagement in a structured way.
Looking ahead, Workato is enhancing the marketplace with mobile design optimisations and pagination to support large solution catalogues. These improvements will deliver faster load times, reduce scroll fatigue, and create a smoother browsing experience for enterprise users.
StoreHippo is proud to power Workato’s marketplace journey and looks forward to supporting its next phase of growth as it continues to scale a structured, global AI solutions ecosystem.
