Case Study: Franka Emika accelerates product launches and slashes commerce development time with commercetools

Connecting robots, partners and customers in one ecosystem

Franka Emika, the Munich-based robotics company behind the Panda Powertool and the Franka World platform, needed to add commerce capabilities to attract new users and increase engagement from customers and contributors without consuming excessive engineering time. To meet tight delivery deadlines and avoid disrupting ongoing robot- and IoT-focused work, Franka Emika chose commercetools’ API-first, microservices commerce platform.

commercetools delivered a headless, modular backend that fit Franka Emika’s existing architecture, enabling feature rollouts across Franka World without frontend rework. As a result, Franka Emika saved significant time and money, achieved very fast time-to-market, and freed staff to focus on IoT and robot-management features while accelerating growth of its commerce ecosystem.
