Why is the MACH philosophy so important to the retail industry?

Deliver true omnichannel commerce

Easily connect every digital touchpoint (online and in-store) through APIs.

Capitalise on an open ecosystem

Don’t get tied to a single vendor – easily switch to the software that addresses your specific business needs.

Enhance cost allocation

Only deploy services that are truly necessary and aligned with objectives to limit CAPEX costs.

Customise your commerce capabilities

Create an easily extensible and 100% customised IT environment based on microservices.

Benefit from best-of-breed solutions

Break free from your monolithic tech stack and choose solutions from suppliers who are specialists in their field.

We’ve been working with OneStock for several years now to create a truly omnichannel business and I’ve always been really pleased with their modern approach and the flexibility of their platform. TFG London are firm believers that the future of tech is composable architecture, providing our IT teams with the speed, agility and scalability to adapt to the latest innovations. Congratulations to OneStock for the MACH certification – I’m sure it will help convince other retailers all over the world to choose OneStock, which I would highly recommend!

The MACH principles

The philosophy behind MACH architecture is rooted in the idea that businesses require agility to cater to the ever-evolving needs of their customers. MACH combines Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless technologies to provide an open and modular environment for businesses to seamlessly adapt and respond to change with best-of-breed solutions.

Microservices

Microservices are a software development methodology that involves breaking down complex applications into small, independently deployable services.

API-first

API-first prioritises designing the application programming interface (API) before implementing the rest of the software, ensuring that the API meets the needs of users and can be easily integrated with other systems.

Cloud-native

Cloud-native refers to an approach that leverages the cloud computing infrastructure to build and deploy applications that are scalable, resilient and adaptable to changing business needs.

Headless

Headless refers to the decoupling of the front-end and back-end of an application allowing for greater flexibility and freedom in designing the user interface.
