Contentful Celebrates Milestones and Achievements with commercetools Partnership
Long history of success surpasses 60 joint customers and 12 solution accelerators
Contentful is excited to celebrate its long and successful partnership with commercetools, which focuses on enabling customers with a modern tech stack to build and deliver the engaging shopping experiences that today’s consumers demand. As two of the earliest members of the MACH® (Microservice-based, API-first, Cloud-native and Headless) Alliance, commercetools and Contentful are helping more than 60 brands, such as Bang & Olufsen,Moonpig, and SWAROVSKI OPTIK, realize the full potential of composable commerce with incremental transformation that proves immediate return on investment (ROI) along the way.
Organizations today are faced with an ever-evolving landscape of digital channels in which to compete for consumer engagement. The heavy technical debt, frequent vendor-required upgrades, and fragmented content that is common with one-size-fits-all, legacy commerce solutions leaves digital teams ill-equipped to keep up with the demands of the dynamic digital-first marketplace. In order to deliver the consistent, modern shopping experiences that today’s consumers demand, digital teams need the flexibility to customize wherever needed, and make changes fast and at scale.
Hans Nillson, e-commerce and digital platform manager, SWAROVSKI OPTIK, underscored this need, adding, “From the beginning, it was quite clear that we could rule out the monolithic approach. We wanted something that was flexible in terms of detaching front-end and back-end, and going for this API-first solution. We wanted to have the easiest possible way to integrate with third-party softwares.”
