commercetools About Us

Our Story Monolithic commerce platforms stifle growth – so we decided to do something about it.

Buying options and consumer expectations are at an all-time high.

Enterprises and growing brands across the globe require technology that help them maintain a competitive advantage, and develop new business models as necessary to effectively compete in today’s rapidly evolving commerce market. 

That’s why we set out to power a future that enables limitless commerce possibilities.

No one knows what the future holds, but we do know that it will require businesses to be agile. Your commerce platform must reflect this uncertainty, and be flexible enough to respond to whatever your current and future customers demand.

Co-founder and CEO commercetools

The singular purpose that drives us To challenge and change the world of eCommerce

In 2012, Dirk Hoerig, co-founder of commercetools,  coined the term “headless commerce” to differentiate between monolithic all-in-one commerce suites and his radical new approach. The concept of decoupling the backend from the frontend disrupted the industry status quo, creating a new standard for eCommerce. Today, commercetools continues to forge the way forward for brands looking to remain competitive, reduce costs and increase speed and agility across their organizations.

Every day, billion-dollar enterprises and growing brands rely on commercetools to make faster, more meaningful connections to their customers.
