What is MACH, and why does it matter?

MACH stands for Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless — a technology paradigm that enables modular, scalable, and future-proof digital ecosystems. Unlike traditional monolithic systems, MACH architecture empowers businesses to choose best-in-class technologies for each function, accelerating innovation and ensuring seamless integration across the stack.

Receiving an award at The MACH Alliance

The MACH Alliance, a non-profit founded in 2020, supports organizations in navigating this evolving tech landscape. Through its annual MACH Impact Awards, it recognises companies worldwide that have generated real business impact through MACH-based solutions. The awards cover nine categories, spanning industries and use cases.

Our partnership with commerctools

We partnered with commercetools, the world’s leading commerce platform built for flexibility. It’s designed to adapt to complex or unique business and customer needs—without locking teams into rigid architecture.

Unlike traditional vendors, commercetools is known for its API and version stability. Once an API is declared production-ready, developers can confidently build around it—knowing it won’t change or break overnight.

Lallemand has transformed its ordering process by replacing manual email and phone-based orders with a seamless digital experience. The new B2B e-commerce portal not only provides customers with a user-friendly interface, personalized dashboards, and enhanced support from sales teams, but also empowers sales representatives with a powerful tool to deliver more value to end customers.

The new solution offers a user-friendly e-commerce portal with personalized dashboards, improved customer support, and smarter tools for sales teams. This shift not only enhanced internal efficiency but also empowered Lallemand’s commercial teams to deliver greater value to their clients.
