Matthias Schulte, CEO
» Following a 3-year hiatus, in 2023 we saw the ECD return with a big bang! A highlight was undoubtedly an opening panel discussion where representatives from Marc O’Polo, Bestseller, and Hugo Boss spoke of innovative technology advancements, including seamless customer experiences and the potential of social commerce. We are so excited to be back again this year on 12th June for more inspiring discussions both on and off the stage! «
Alexander Otto, Head of Corporate Relations
» In 2023, the successful launch of our new partner ZEOS sets the stage for further development this year. As ZEOS’ preferred partner, we’re excited to offer enhanced fulfilment solutions to our network. Such partnerships not only facilitate smoother expansion into new markets, but also unlock profitable solutions through synergies within logistics, offering additional opportunities for improved stock allocation across Europe.
