    The demands placed on e-commerce are constantly increasing - not only in high-turnover B2C sectors, but also increasingly in B2B. If processes are not automated, operational limits are quickly reached when order volumes or product diversity increase. Companies of the Mittelstand in particular are realising this: Growth cannot (only) be achieved with more staff. More efficient processes, better systems and digital interfaces are also essential.

Many companies continue to use established e-commerce systems such as Magento, Oxid or Shopware 5, which have usually grown historically and are often highly customised - and this is becoming more and more of a problem. Every customised solution increases complexity and maintenance costs, and every intervention reduces adaptability.

    Many companies start their digital marketing with a single tool - be it a content management system for the website or a CRM for managing customer data. And that's perfectly fine. But the more complex the requirements become, the clearer it becomes: A single system can never cover all tasks. Why? Because the requirements in modern marketing are diverse and highly complex.

    Today, a powerful search function is no longer a nice-to-have, but a significant sales driver. Users who find what they are looking for quickly stay longer, convert better and come back again. If this efficiency is lacking, frustration, high bounce rates and unnecessary support costs arise.
