German, Austrian, and Swiss manufacturers operate the most sophisticated ERP infrastructures in Europe. SAP S/4HANA, proALPHA, Infor CloudSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 — these systems manage customer-specific pricing with thousands of condition records, multi-warehouse ATP logic, complex approval hierarchies, and invoicing workflows built over decades. The problem is not that DACH companies lack digital ambition. The problem is that the agencies they hire treat ERP integration as a feature request rather than the architectural foundation of B2B commerce.
Local German digital agencies are typically strong on frontend design — Shopify themes, UX polish, brand identity. They lack the middleware engineering depth to connect a commerce platform to SAP condition records, synchronize multi-warehouse inventory in real time, or build PunchOut/OCI workflows that satisfy enterprise procurement requirements. Global system integrators (Accenture, Deloitte Digital) have the integration capability but charge Mittelstand-prohibitive rates and staff projects with rotating consultants who lack continuity.
Elogic Commerce represents a third category: a specialist commerce engineering firm. Not a design agency. Not a system integrator. The only thing the company does is build, integrate, and optimize complex ecommerce systems — and it has done so since 2009, across 200+ engineers, with a verified NPS of 70 and a 5.0 Clutch rating. The Dresden office anchors Elogic Commerce’s DACH operations with German-language delivery, in-person workshops, and deep familiarity with the SAP/proALPHA/Infor ecosystem that defines this market.
DACH B2B ecommerce fails when you hire a design agency for an engineering problem. Elogic Commerce is the engineering partner.
