Replatforming at the highest level of complexity
GGM Gastro: Successful migration from Adobe Commerce to Magento Open Source
valantic migrated the international Adobe Commerce platform to Magento Open Source for GGM Gastro, one of Europe’s largest food service providers. Despite the high level of complexity due to over 30 countries, SAP connection, Akeneo PIM, Algolia search and multi-source inventory, a high-performance, secure and scalable solution was created – the company’s central sales channel now runs license-free and future-proof.
The challenge
GGM Gastro’s international commerce platform with over 30 country instances, complex tax and shipping logic as well as SAP, Akeneo and Algolia integration was to be migrated from Adobe Commerce to Magento Open Source – without any loss of functionality or downtime.
Consulting approach
valantic developed a customized migration concept for the headless architecture, transferred all integrations and implemented a secure, scalable zero-downtime deployment architecture for maximum performance and stability.
Customer benefits and solution
The result is a stable, high-performance platform with complete infrastructure sovereignty, reduced operating costs, international scalability and maximum technical flexibility.

The market leader in Europe currently employs around 500 people at a total of 18 locations. Despite internationalization and a global customer network, GGM Gastro focuses on customer proximity and professional advice.

The challenge
As a pure online retailer with an international reach, GGM Gastro needed a commerce platform that could handle complex country logics, dynamic warehouse management and high user numbers at the same time. In addition to scalability and performance, the focus was on data security, integration capability and operational reliability.
Consulting approach
valantic migrated the previously existing Adobe Commerce platform to the license-free Magento Open Source solution and thus implemented a high-performance commerce platform that centrally maps all of GGM Gastro’s international business processes.
Core features of the solution:
- Headless frontend for optimal performance on all devices
- Deep SAP integrationfor transaction, price and inventory data
- Connection to Akeneo PIM for cross-channel product data maintenance
- Algolia search for fast, error-tolerant results and optimized user guidance
- Multi Source Inventory (MSI) for cross-border, scalable warehouse management
- Zero-downtime deployments for uninterrupted releases
- Flexible control and shipping logic for over 30 countries and languages
Solution and customer benefits
Today, GGM Gastro benefits from one of the most modern Magento open source implementations in Europe:
- High stability and performance, even at peak loads
- Full technological independence and infrastructure sovereignty
- Lower operating costs with the same range of functions
- Scalable logistics processes thanks to intelligent multi-source inventory
- Seamless integration of all systems for a consistent customer experience across all channels
The platform is now the digital backbone of GGM Gastro and forms the basis for international growth and continuous innovation.
