A company-account solution gives several employees their own access to one business relationship. The difficult part is choosing the right account model. Some products extend an existing Magento customer with subaccounts. Others create a separate company entity with users, roles, company data, and broader B2B workflows.
Short answer: SoftwareSilo Sublogin is a strong fit for Magento Open Source stores that want individual users under existing customer accounts and a modular path to roles, budgets, approvals, catalogs, APIs, and Hyvä. Amasty and Aheadworks are broader company-account suites. Adobe Commerce includes native company accounts in its B2B package and is the natural benchmark for merchants already licensing that edition.
The shortlist
| Solution | Account model | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| SoftwareSilo Sublogin | Subaccounts under an existing Magento customer | Merchants that want to preserve their current customer model and select add-ons as needed |
| Amasty B2B Company Account | Dedicated company accounts, users, roles, and related companies | Teams wanting a broad commercial suite around company entities |
| Aheadworks Company Accounts | Companies, users, roles, domains, and company hierarchy | Stores already using or planning the Aheadworks B2B ecosystem |
| Adobe Commerce B2B | Native company entity, structure, users, roles, credit, and purchase orders | Merchants already committed to Adobe Commerce B2B |
Capabilities, compatibility, subscriptions, and included packages change. Confirm the current edition and test the exact workflow before buying.
Where SoftwareSilo fits
SoftwareSilo adds users below a normal Magento customer. The base module already covers individual credentials, activation, order attribution, address strategies, payment and shipping restrictions, optional cart and wishlist sharing, email routing, and customer reports. The parent customer remains the commercial account.
Advanced governance is modular. Roles adds permissions and group hierarchies. Budget adds period and per-order limits. Order Approval adds approval states. Custom Catalog limits assortments. Other add-ons cover CSV data transfer, Magento REST and SOAP, GraphQL, and Hyvä.
This model avoids forcing every merchant into a full company entity. It also means buyers must compare the complete add-on bundle, not only the base price.
Where Amasty fits
Amasty's product uses company accounts with employee users and role permissions. Its current documentation describes related companies, company registration, payment restrictions, order review and approval, REST support, Hyvä packages, store credit, and integration with its Request a Quote product.
This can suit a merchant that wants a ready-made company layer and prefers the Amasty ecosystem. Check which functions require an active subscription, support entitlement, composer suggestion package, or second product.
Where Aheadworks fits
Aheadworks provides company accounts, users, roles, company domains, company hierarchy, shared addresses, import, Web API, GraphQL, and a Hyvä add-on. Its wider B2B suite connects private catalogs, company credit, requisition lists, quotes, quick order, payment and shipping restrictions, and other products.
It is relevant when those integrations match the store's roadmap. The product page distinguishes core functions from integrations, so price the whole intended workflow.
Where Adobe Commerce B2B fits
Adobe Commerce company accounts include company users, structures, roles, permissions, store credit, and centralized administration. Purchase Orders add approval rules and role-based purchasing controls. These capabilities belong to Adobe Commerce B2B, not Magento Open Source.
Merchants already paying for Adobe Commerce should evaluate the native model first. Magento Open Source stores should compare license and migration implications as well as features.
Questions that reveal the right model
- Must the existing Magento customer remain the parent account?
- Do companies need a legal company entity and registration workflow, or only employee users?
- Are roles, budgets, approval rules, credit, quotes, or requisition lists required now?
- Should carts, addresses, orders, and wishlists be shared or individual?
- Does the ERP identify the customer, company, branch, or individual buyer?
- Which functions are core, add-ons, subscription-only, or separate products?
- How will users and permissions be imported, audited, and removed?
Recommendation
Choose the account model before choosing the vendor. SoftwareSilo is particularly strong when the existing customer record should remain central and the merchant wants granular control through optional modules. Amasty and Aheadworks suit projects that want broader company entities and their surrounding ecosystems. Adobe Commerce B2B is the baseline for merchants on Adobe's commercial edition.
