Our shop, powered by Progressive Web App (PWA) technology, has been fundamentally rebuilt as the PlentyONE Shop. Utilising cutting-edge technologies, it promises significantly enhanced performance and an optimised development process. This transformation is supported by our strategic partnership with Alokai, which guarantees scalability, flexibility, and innovative development.
Running your own online store has established itself as a cornerstone of a strong omnichannel strategy and allows retailers to develop a virtual shop window as an important touchpoint along the customer journey. Thanks to an individual design and independence of marketplace conditions, this sales channel promises to sustainably increase customer loyalty and brand awareness. In addition to the multitude of online marketplaces and sales platforms, PlentyONE provides an independent shop system that is completely integrated into all our comprehensive platform portfolio features.
Updated to meet the latest technological standards, the new shop system has greatly enhanced performance and streamlined the development workflow. This move allows the PWA to offer large retailers and brands a high-performance, highly customizable online store, presenting a compelling alternative to dedicated store systems like Shopify or Shopware.
PWA is short for Progressive Web App and refers to websites that offer functionalities that are normally only available to locally installed applications. An icon on the mobile home screen, full-screen mode without a visible browser, push notifications and the ability to operate parts of the store without an internet connection are just some of the functions made possible by PWAs. PWAs are also characterised by a high level of responsiveness, meaning device-independent user-friendliness and display quality, as well as less noticeable loading delays.
Overall, the use of PWAs ensures a significantly better shopping experience, which has a direct impact on sales in the store.
Working with Alokai enables unprecedented agility and accelerates development speed by providing a modular and flexible architecture that streamlines the development process and makes continuous iteration and deployment feasible.
A fully functional, local development environment that can utilise live data from PlentyONE and the use of common frameworks and technologies, such as Vue 3, Nuxt 3 und Tailwind CSS, as well as the Storefront UI component library, greatly facilitate development.
With Alokai as the basis for our new webshop, we are choosing a leading framework in headless e-commerce that has already been successfully employed in the transformation of numerous companies.
As a front-end platform for headless e-commerce, Alokai embodies innovation and collaboration within the global developer community. With an open-source approach and modular architecture, it enables developers to solve common e-commerce challenges effectively and sustainably.
With an ever-growing partner ecosystem that simplifies expansion through third-party software, Alokai has become an industry standard that can be used with a variety of e-commerce systems.
Thanks to Alokai's limitless flexibility and scalability, retailers and brands can quickly adapt to changing market dynamics and evolving customer expectations, ensuring their long-term profitability and success in the competitive e-commerce landscape.
