Hyvä means "good, desirable, and trustworthy." Catomize means real-time. Together, they mean something merchants have been chasing for years, a storefront that is both fast and accurate at the same time.
What is Catomize?
Catomize is a real-time backend infrastructure layer for e-commerce. It enables online retailers to operate with fully synchronised data across all systems — from ERP and OMS to warehouses, online and offline stores, and all sales channels.
By ensuring that product availability, pricing, and catalog data are always accurate and up to date, Catomize eliminates operational failures common to all e-commerce including Magento/Adobe Commerce, such as phantom inventory, failed checkouts, and inconsistent customer experiences.
Designed as a technology-agnostic solution, Catomize integrates into existing architectures without requiring a full rebuild — orchestrating data in real time so merchants can maintain high-performance storefronts that are both reliable and conversion-ready.
How does Catomize work with Hyvä?
Hyvä is known for its lightweight architecture and exceptional frontend performance. Catomize ensures that what customers see on those fast-loading pages is always correct and available in the backend.
While Hyvä accelerates the frontend, Catomize synchronises everything behind it — eliminating inconsistencies between systems and enabling smoother, more trustworthy shopping experiences. Together, they allow Magento and Adobe Commerce merchants to combine frontend speed with backend reliability, without compromise.
How does this benefit merchants?
Hidden inefficiencies are the silent killers of e-commerce growth — inaccurate stock data, failed transactions, unstable performance during peak traffic. This partnership directly addresses all of them.
Merchants benefit from real-time product availability, reducing phantom inventory and preventing lost sales. Storefront performance stays fast and stable even under high traffic loads, which means higher conversion rates. Customers can trust that what they see is actually available. Fewer manual fixes and system inconsistencies improve operational efficiency, and marketing campaigns perform better when traffic is no longer lost to backend or frontend failures.
Instead of compensating for system gaps with overstocking or fragmented tools, merchants get a synchronised infrastructure that supports sustainable revenue growth.
Catomize in action
A real-world example comes from 21RUN, a leading sneakers and sportswear retailer serving customers across Germany and the EU. With over 250,000 products and more than 500 daily orders — up to three times more during peak seasons — the business needed a stable, fully synchronised infrastructure to operate at scale.
Before Catomize, the team faced a painful trade-off between speed and accuracy.
To improve page load times, the system relied heavily on caching. But this caused stock and product data to drift out of sync. Customers were shown products that were no longer available, while in-stock items stayed hidden, leading to lost sales and a broken customer experience. At the same time, performance was degrading. Page load times reached 2–3 seconds, infrastructure was nearing capacity, and marketing teams could not trust what was displayed on the website.
The issue was not the stock data itself — it was the transfer to the frontend. Caches were not invalidated correctly, so customers could see products as available but failed to add them to their cart.
Management didn't know how many products were affected. This insecurity was unacceptable — we wanted a website we could trust.
We wanted both, high performance and accurate data in the storefront — without the trade-off.
With Catomize, the architecture was fundamentally rethought. Instead of reactive caching, a real-time, event-driven approach continuously synchronises product data across all systems.
Key results at 21RUN:
- 2x conversion growth
- 3x faster pages
- Stable under 3× peak traffic
- ~10× faster backend
- No phantom inventory
