Headless

A headless architecture refers to a system in which the backend (data and functionality management) is decoupled from the frontend (user interface).

In practice, this means data and business rules are centralized in a single platform, while their display can be adapted to different channels (website, mobile app, marketplace, etc.) without depending on a fixed interface.

In e-commerce and product data management, a headless approach makes it possible, for example, to distribute information from a PIM to multiple touchpoints (web, mobile, IoT) without having to duplicate or reformat the data. This offers maximum flexibility for personalizing the customer experience while ensuring information consistency.
