Zaproo

What Zaproo does

Zaproo is a Tallinn, Estonia-based commerce engineering studio founded in 2012 that builds and operates Magento-based headless eCommerce systems for mid-to-large European retailers. The company serves a base of enterprise clients across Northern Europe—including Bauhof, Aatrium, Kramp, Pakendikeskus, MyLook, Selver, and others—delivering full-stack projects spanning storefront engineering, ERP/PIM integration, business process automation, AI solutions, and managed cloud infrastructure. Zaproo is 100% employee-owned, has no outside investors, and operates with a core team of 15 specialists distributed worldwide under founder-CEO/CTO Indrek Pihor, who remains actively engineering.

The studio runs a six-service platform model anchored by two proprietary product foundations: Zaproo Box, a standardized headless storefront built on Magento 2, Nuxt 3, and Strapi 5 with 50+ pre-built components and 6–16 week deployment cycles; and Zaproo.Cloud, a managed Kubernetes infrastructure layer offering a 99.99% uptime SLA, P95 API latency of 87ms, GDPR-aligned hosting, and CI/CD performance gates that block regressions before production. These foundations are extended by four services: custom eCommerce software development, business process automation using n8n and Temporal, a 4-week fixed-price AI Solutions pilot covering automated support, smart pricing, and recommendations, and retainer-based workflow orchestration delivered in 2-week sprints.

Zaproo generates revenue through fixed-scope project engagements with milestone-based payment (30/40/30), monthly retainer contracts billed in advance, and recurring Zaproo.Cloud hosting subscriptions, with project budget tiers ranging from under €20k to over €100k. The company is an accredited Adobe Magento Solution Partner and certified Alokai (Vue Storefront) Storefront Framework Partner, with 20+ enterprise builds in active production management having processed over €100M in cumulative GMV since founding. Geographic focus is the Nordics and Baltics (Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania), with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or secondary-market activity.
