The monolithic platform limits frontend flexibility and release speed
Every frontend change waits on a platform release cycle that wasn't built for it.
Headless commerce
For teams whose monolithic platform limits frontend speed, or who need one commerce backend to power several channels — web, app, kiosk — without adopting another bundled platform to do it.
SIGNS THE PLATFORM IS THE CEILING, NOT THE TEAM
Every frontend change waits on a platform release cycle that wasn't built for it.
Web, app and kiosk end up with duplicated logic instead of one shared source of truth.
You're stuck with the platform's bundled version of each, even when a better tool exists.
Going headless without an owner just trades one kind of technical debt for another.
OUR APPROACH
Each option trades platform convenience for control. The right one depends on how much independent moving parts your team can actually own long-term.
Stay on the current platform and push its configuration and extension points further.
The right call when the limit isn't really architectural — it's a specific feature gap.Decouple the frontend from the commerce backend behind a stable API, keep most other services as-is.
Needs an owner for the frontend long-term — it isn't maintenance-free.Compose best-of-breed CMS, search, PIM and payments behind the same API layer.
More flexibility, but also more services, more contracts, and more that can drift out of sync.WHAT WE CAN OWN
Catalogue, pricing, cart and order capabilities get exposed as a stable, versioned API — built once, reused by web, app or any future channel.
The platform underneath stays whatever already works; we don't force a backend migration to go headless.CMS, search, PIM and payment services get integrated as independent, swappable pieces instead of one bundled platform's built-in versions.
Choosing the specific vendors is a joint call — we build the integration, not replace your evaluation of each tool.The storefront deploys independently of backend releases, so a content or design change doesn't wait on a platform upgrade.
This independence only holds if someone keeps owning the frontend after launch — that's a named role, not an afterthought.HOW WE WORK
Current platform limits, channel needs and your team's capacity to own more moving parts.
We check whether the limit is really architectural or just a feature gap.
A clear recommendation, including when headless isn't the right call.
The agreed direction and your channel roadmap.
We define the API layer, service boundaries and the composable stack.
An architecture decision record and integration contracts.
The architecture and a first channel to prove it on.
We build the storefront and API layer as independently deployable, tested components.
A production storefront on the new stack.
The live storefront and real traffic.
We hand over monitoring, ownership boundaries and a plan for adding services.
A documented operating model your team can actually run.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
You need an owner for the frontend long-term — internal or a retained partner — since a decoupled storefront is not maintenance-free.
No. Headless makes sense when channel diversity or best-of-breed service needs outweigh the complexity of owning more moving parts.
The stack is chosen for your case — common choices include Contentful, Algolia, Akeneo and similar composable-commerce services.
Yes. A single high-value channel or journey can move first while the rest of the storefront continues on the current platform.
Tell us what's actually limiting you today — a feature gap or a genuine architectural wall — and we'll tell you honestly which one it is.
