Build a MACH infrastructure to support current and future digital requirements

Our client’s solution is based on a MACH (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless) approach to meet their needs. By building the foundational pillars of a data-oriented composable architecture, we created a reusable base for multiple use cases, optimizing flexibility and operational efficiency. Thus, we developed a nearly fully configurable platform for our client.

We selected the best available tools, such as Vercel for APIs and Contentful as a Headless CMS to manage the various platforms. This approach enables the reuse of business rules across these platforms, creating a modular, flexible, and autonomous infrastructure for the teams.

For example, a specific component or block designed for a festival website can be easily reused for managing performance venues. This modularity ensures not only optimal and sustainable management but also scalability of the infrastructure.

A PIM system for smooth and centralized management of artist information

Faced with the complex management of 1,500 events and a vast directory of renowned artists, our client made the bold choice to integrate a PIM (Product Information Management) system with the Akeneo solution.

For example, to enhance the user experience, we integrated an exclusive feature that links artist profiles to their Spotify IDs. This integration allows users to explore their favorite artists’ music without leaving the platform, providing an immersive product experience where each renowned artist is presented as a unique product. This encourages users to dive into each artist’s world while discovering new talents.

Through this integrated and personalized approach, our client has successfully transformed artist management into a seamless and captivating experience for its users.
