Bye Bye Frankenstack: Built Light & Led Right.

In this conversation, Pim Vijftigschild, CCO of New Black, opens the door to a different way of thinking about retail tech, where the real challenge isn’t the platform, but the people leading the change.

We all know the frustration of tangled legacy stacks: bloated and slow to adapt. But how do we break free from it? How do we build something lighter, faster, and ready for the next shift in customer expectations?

New Black’s answer: one version of the platform, no custom builds, and real-time deployment cycles that keep pace with the business.

We talk why leadership alignment is the ultimate accelerant. We talk the leap from unified and contextual commerce. We talk how to put the power of the store in an associate’s pocket.
