Contao to Sanity Migration — Headless CMS for B2B and Manufacturing
“Contao served you well. The question is whether it can support where your business is going next.”
We migrate your content from Contao to Sanity while preserving the systems your business depends on. ERP, PIM, multilingual content, and structured APIs come together in one modern content platform built for long-term growth.
When Contao Starts Limiting Growth
Contao has earned its reputation as a stable and reliable CMS, particularly among B2B companies, manufacturers, and organizations across the DACH region. It continues to power many successful websites, but it was designed for a different generation of digital platforms.
As businesses grow, the limitations become more visible. Rebranding projects expose how tightly content is tied to page structures. International expansion requires multilingual workflows that are difficult to scale. Integrating ERP, PIM, or customer portals often means building custom solutions around the CMS instead of working with it.
The underlying challenge is architectural. Content, presentation, and configuration remain closely connected, making every major change more complex than it needs to be. As digital ecosystems expand, businesses need a structured content platform that can support multiple systems instead of a single website.
What Changes with Sanity
Sanity separates your content from the presentation layer and turns it into a central business asset.
Editors work inside a dedicated publishing environment while developers access structured content through documented APIs. ERP, PIM, partner portals, websites, and future digital products can all consume content from the same source without duplication or platform-specific workarounds.
What's Included in a Contao to Sanity Migration
Migrating from Contao is more than moving content between CMS platforms. We analyze your existing architecture, redesign the content model, prepare integrations with your business systems, and migrate structured content into a platform built for long-term scalability.
Contao Platform Audit
We review page structures, content elements, custom modules, extensions, integrations, and editorial workflows. The result is a detailed migration scope together with clear recommendations for simplifying your content architecture.
Enterprise Architecture
We define how Sanity connects with your ERP, PIM, CRM, analytics, search, and frontend before migration begins. Every architectural decision is aligned with your existing business systems and future digital initiatives.
Structured Content Modeling
Instead of recreating page structures, we redesign your content around reusable document types, references, and relationships. The result is a cleaner, document-centric content model that supports multiple channels and future growth.
Content Migration
Content, media, custom modules, internal links, and structured data are migrated through validated pipelines with staging and quality assurance before production launch. Existing URLs and SEO signals are preserved wherever possible.
Business System Integration
ERP, PIM, CRM, analytics, server-side tracking, and other operational systems are reviewed as part of the migration to ensure your content platform works seamlessly across your digital ecosystem.
Launch & Knowledge Transfer
Your team receives a configured Sanity Studio, documentation for editors and developers, publishing workflows, and post-launch support for a controlled rollout.

Why B2B Teams Move from Contao to Sanity
The goal isn’t simply replacing Contao. It’s creating a content platform that supports websites, internal systems, multilingual publishing, and future digital products from one structured source of truth.
Structured Business Content
Content becomes independent from page structures and can be reused across websites, partner portals, product documentation, and future digital channels without duplication.
Better Editorial Operations
Editors work with structured documents instead of navigating complex page hierarchies and CMS-specific conventions. Publishing workflows become easier to manage as teams and content grow.
Connected Business Systems
Sanity integrates naturally with ERP, PIM, CRM, and other business platforms through structured APIs, creating a single content hub instead of isolated systems.
Built for Enterprise Growth
Whether you're expanding internationally, launching new digital products, or modernizing your technology stack, your content platform grows without requiring another CMS migration.
What Changes After Moving from Contao to Sanity
The biggest improvement isn’t simply replacing your CMS. It’s creating a content platform that connects your websites, business systems, and editorial workflows while giving every team the flexibility to move faster. Instead of maintaining disconnected systems and page-centric content, your business gains a structured foundation that supports long-term growth.
Marketing teams launch campaigns, localized content, and new landing pages without being constrained by page-centric CMS structures or developer-dependent publishing workflows. Content can be reused across websites and channels, making new initiatives easier to plan, execute, and scale.
Editors
Editors work with structured content instead of complex page hierarchies. Publishing becomes more consistent, onboarding is easier, and managing multilingual content requires far less manual effort. Teams spend less time navigating the CMS and more time creating and maintaining high-quality content.
Developers
Developers integrate content with ERP, PIM, customer portals, and frontend applications through documented APIs instead of maintaining CMS-specific integrations and legacy extensions. New features, integrations, and digital products become easier to build, maintain, and evolve over time.
Leadership
Technology decisions become more strategic because content is no longer locked into a single platform. Future websites, regions, and digital initiatives can be planned with greater confidence without rebuilding the underlying content architecture for every new project.
The Business
Content becomes a reusable business asset that supports websites, product data, documentation, partner portals, and future digital experiences from one structured source of truth. The result is a more connected digital ecosystem that is easier to manage, extend, and scale as the business grows.
