Intershop Named in Forrester Wave Commerce Solutions Report for B2B Focus and AI Innovation

Intershop Communications AG, a global provider of B2B e-commerce solutions for the manufacturing, wholesale and distribution sectors, has been named in The Forrester Wave™: Commerce Solutions, Q3 2026, an independent evaluation of commerce platforms. The report assessed 10 providers, and Intershop's inclusion reflects its deliberate strategy of bringing agentic AI tooling into everyday B2B operations where it creates measurable value.

Markus Dranert, CEO of Intershop, stated, “We believe this result reflects our unrelenting focus on B2B and the investments we have made in practical, real-world AI. Our customers, from hidden-champion manufacturers to global industrial powerhouses, need commerce that handles genuine complexity. That is exactly what we build.” Andy Stanis, EVP and Managing Director for Intershop Americas, added, “Serious commerce leaders don’t accept platforms that treat B2B as an add-on. We believe Forrester recognizing Intershop validates what our customers experience every day: when the complexity is real, this is the platform engineered for it.”

This recognition matters because it underscores the growing importance of specialized B2B commerce solutions in an increasingly digital economy. For Texas-based businesses in manufacturing, wholesale, and distribution—sectors that form the backbone of the state's economy—Intershop's platform offers tools to handle complex sales processes, multiple channels, and global operations. The integration of agentic AI helps automate routine tasks, improve customer retention, and boost digital sales revenue, providing a competitive edge in a market where efficiency and scalability are critical.

Intershop, founded in Germany in 1992 and traded on the Prime Standard (ISHA), serves over 300 manufacturers, wholesalers, and business associations worldwide, including Atlas Copco, Kubota, Wurth, Musgrave, and RAJA. By focusing exclusively on B2B, Intershop differentiates itself from general commerce platforms that treat B2B as an afterthought. For Texas companies looking to expand their digital sales capabilities, this recognition signals that Intershop's platform is engineered to handle the real complexity of B2B transactions, from multi-brand catalogs to regional pricing and compliance requirements.
