Case Study: Winkelstraat.nl achieves faster time-to-market and scalable frontend performance with Alokai

Winkelstraat.nl’s way to flexibility and high business performance

Winkelstraat.nl, the largest luxury fashion marketplace in the Netherlands, faced a major challenge when its Magento 1 platform reached end-of-life. The company wanted to transition to Magento 2 while simultaneously decoupling its frontend and backend to gain greater flexibility, improve performance, and achieve a faster time-to-market. They needed a frontend solution that was scalable and had a shallow learning curve for their development team.

The vendor, Alokai, was selected for its enterprise-oriented capabilities and its out-of-the-box integration with Magento. The implementation allowed the development team, already skilled in Vue.js, to quickly adapt and build a high-performing frontend. The solution resulted in a significant reduction in development time and costs, unlimited frontend scalability, and a faster time-to-market, all of which contributed to better overall business performance for Winkelstraat.nl.
