What is headless architecture?

Headless architecture refers to a system where the backend (data and functionality management) is separated from the frontend (user interface)

In practical terms, this means that 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 relying on a fixed interface.

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