Open source
In today's digital economy, control is not a luxury but a strategic necessity. Many ecommerce companies are unknowingly trapped in the 'golden cage' of closed SaaS platforms, where they face rising transaction costs, limited customization options, and total 'vendor lock-in'. Therefore, Elanq consciously and exclusively chooses a 100% open-source architecture.
Our entire technological stack is built on this philosophy. This starts with powerful, modern frameworks Vue.js and Nuxt.js, which form the basis for a lightning-fast user experience. We useAlokaias the flexible frontend layer, specifically designed for high-performance e-commerce. The communication between this frontend and your Odoo backend occurs via GraphQL, an efficient language that minimizes data transfer. Even the crucial glue in between, themiddleware, is fully open source.
What does this mean concretely for your business?
No vendor lock-in, complete control: You own the code. There is no external party that can 'turn off' your platform, force you into expensive upgrades, or suddenly demand a percentage of your revenue. You do not pay for licenses, but for the value of the development and implementation. Additionally, you can have Elanq's services taken over by another provider at any time. This independence is crucial for your strategic long-term growth.
Because every element is open source, the customization options are literally limitless. We are not restricted to what a platform API allows us. If you need a unique feature or a complex workflow that is specific to your business, we can build it. We adjust the code directly to perfectly align with your vision.
Transparency and security: Open source means that the source code is accessible to everyone. This leads to a higher level of security, as the code is constantly reviewed and improved by a global community of developers. You are not dependent on the 'black box' of a single vendor; you can conduct audits yourself (or through us) and have complete transparency.
Driven by Innovation: You benefit from the collective intelligence of thousands of developers worldwide. Projects likeVue.js, Nuxtand GraphQLevolve faster than any closed platform. You ride along on the latest technological innovations without having to pay for them.
Choosing this 100% open-source stack is a fundamental choice for freedom, security, and sustainable growth. You are investing in your own, unique platform, instead of renting from a tech giant.
