Case Study: Impericon.com achieves greater flexibility and faster performance with Alokai (Vue Storefront PWA)

Impericon.com - Customer Case Study

Impericon.com (IC Music and Apparel GmbH) is a long-established eCommerce retailer in the music and fashion space with ~28,000 main articles across 400,000 configurations and 16 store views. Facing Magento’s end of life, the company struggled with monolithic bottlenecks — slow indexing, heavy caching, limited UX control and poor performance at traffic peaks — and engaged Alokai to deliver a headless, PWA frontend (implemented with Vue Storefront) to regain flexibility and modernize the stack.

Alokai implemented a Vue Storefront–based headless PWA and moved Impericon.com to a document-based data model, reducing reliance on Magento indexing and full-page caching. The result: faster, more agile development, up-to-date product data in the frontend, improved performance during peaks, easier custom UX per customer and simpler horizontal scaling, enabling Impericon.com to deliver a better mobile-first shopping experience and integrate third‑party services more easily.
