The Background of Spryker

By 2014 the Spryker founders had completed hundreds of e-commerce projects with solutions like Magento, Hybris, and Demandware…

When project requirements were different from standard functions, the project became expensive and the software was slow.

Spryker needed to solve the commerce software problem for companies with complex business requirements – where they need more than just webshops.

The Motivation

The Results

Spryker helped one of the world's biggest grocery retailers to build a pick and collect commerce setup for 3,000 stores within 3 weeks during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Migrated Hornbach, Europe´s leading B2C DIY store, from a cost center IT setup (SAP Hybris) into an e-commerce first setup (Spryker) to compete with manomano.com.

Made 500,000,000 SKUs searchable and buyable for electronics components dealers Sourceability.com to serve B2B customers.

More than 150+ companies already trust Spryker.

Fact 7: B2B marketplaces have a similar flywheel, but their driving force is service.

Unlike B2C, in B2B it is not sufficient to differentiate by price or broad assortment alone. Companies have to use their deep knowledge of their customers' businesses to create value in solving the customer's pain points through service. B2B buyers will return to the marketplace that *include compelling B2B service features*
