Major brands rely on Frontend-as-a-Service from Frontastic
Frontastic wins four new customers
Frontastic wins Apollo, Prym, Chronext and Universal Music Germany as customers for their cloud based Frontend-as-a-Service. API Economy and Headless CMS develop from Buzzword to Game Changer in eCommerce.
The optician with the most stores, the oldest industrial family business in Germany, the most innovative luxury watch retailer and Germany’s leading music entertainment company. Apollo, Prym, Chronext and Universal Music Germany’s eCommerce division Bravado not only combine the superlatives. They all rely on Frontastic’s front-end platform to focus on their customers and operational excellence.
Founded in 2017, Frontastic is developing a cloud solution that focuses 100% on the visual customer experience across all digital channels. Unlike traditional approaches, Frontend-as-a-Service is specifically designed to meet the needs of the API economy. Apollo, Bravado and Chronext, for example, use commercetools as their API-based eCommerce system. Like most new content management and eCommerce systems, commercetools does not have their own frontend in focus, but provide interfaces, so-called APIs.
Frontastic accesses these APIs and makes the information and functions available to the team in the form of so-called Tastics (small visual building blocks). This then uses the Tastics to build all customer-oriented areas of the web application with the help of an intuitive editor. The Frontpage is then delivered as a Progressive Web App (PWA) and also sets new standards.
This flexible approach ensures that all employees (online marketing, editors, designers, frontend and backend developers) work highly independently of each other and can thus achieve their common goals quickly and efficiently. This makes the implementation of new ideas and innovations or the integration of services and content sources particularly easy and resource-saving.
“We are very pleased about the positive response from the eCommerce industry. The fact that we were able to win four major brands for Frontastic in a short time shows the urgent need for a solution designed for mobile excellence in the new API-based world. Frontastic is not only a tool, but as a frontend platform that will become a central part of the digital customer experience”.
