Orium

What it is

A North American composable commerce consultancy and systems integrator, HQ Toronto, founded 2009 as Myplanet and rebranded to Orium in September 2022 after an ~$11M Tercera investment. Certified B Corp; MACH Alliance member.

Where it sits in the stack

Orium is the partner that designs, builds, and runs composable commerce, DXP, and agentic systems on top of best-of-breed platforms — it doesn't sell a product, it assembles and operates the stack.

Why enterprises care

Enterprises adopting composable need a partner who has done it before; Orium has public composable launches (Harry Rosen, SiteOne, Spoonflower) and a strong agentic-era POV.

Business problem it solves

De-risking the move off monolithic suites to a best-of-breed stack, and then continuously optimising it — without the client having to build that capability in-house.

Account-expansion opportunity

Land a commerce build, expand into DXP/content, then agentic and managed optimisation. The relationship is long-lived because composable stacks evolve continuously.

What Darren should say

"Orium is the integrator clients trust to assemble and run a best-of-breed commerce stack — so the account is a multi-year advisory and delivery relationship, which is exactly the land-and-expand surface I've grown before."

What NOT to overclaim

Don't state headcount or 'most launches in North America' as fact (that's Orium's own marketing). Don't call Ben Woll the CTO — he's VP, Client Services. Jason Cottrell is Founder & CEO.

Likely client objection

"Why a partner rather than building in-house?" — because composable expertise is scarce, and a partner brings reusable accelerators and pattern knowledge that compress time-to-value.

Interview-ready phrasing

"Orium's edge is pattern knowledge — they've assembled and operated these stacks before, so clients buy reduced risk and faster time-to-value."
