How XSPO Future-Proofed Their E-Commerce

Learn how XSPO achieved 80% faster load times and a huge conversion boost with Frontic's headless commerce solution while preserving their existing backend systems.

How XSPO Future-Proofed Their E-Commerce

The Situation

XSPO was operating its e-commerce platform on a heavily customized Shopware 5 system, tightly integrated with Pimcore and TM3. With the announced end of life of Shopware 5, security risks increased significantly, making a technological upgrade urgent and unavoidable.

The Challenge

A full system replacement would have been both complex and high-risk, given the deeply customized architecture and extensive integrations across backend systems. XSPO therefore required a low-risk modernization approach that would preserve existing back-office processes as much as possible while establishing a modern, future-ready technology stack.

The Solution

Frontic was introduced as an orchestration layer, allowing existing backend systems to remain fully operational in the background. Externally, only a new high-performance frontend architecture is exposed. Shopware 6 now serves purely as a headless checkout, while Frontic fully handles search and filtering logic.

The result: a modern user experience, over 80% faster load times, and a setup that can be adapted and extended within hours.
