- Development of a central platform on which E/D/E members operate their own distributor shops.
- Connection and networking of numerous systems (various ERP systems of distributors, PIM systems, order platforms, etc.) via the Intershop Integration Hub.
- Setup of the latest Intershop version ICM 11 – one of the E/D/E members is the first distributor worldwide to go live with this version of the shop operating system.
- Parallel to product development, the first distributors are already being brought onto the shop platform so that valuable user feedback can be used quickly for further product development. This means that the operation and development of SHOPcloud360 must be driven forward in parallel.
- First go-live in September 2023 with the distributor shop of E/D/E member Ullner und Ullner (MVP approach). The shop is currently being tested on selected end customers from craft and industry.
- Standardized processes for efficient onboarding of additional distributor shops on SHOPcloud360 have been established between E/D/E and Intershop.
- Implementation of the first expansion stage of SHOPcloud360 will start at the beginning of 2024.
