SHOPMACHER IS AGENT READY
MACH Alliance Award 2026
What the Agent Ready Award means
The MACH Alliance Agent Ready Award recognizes members who already run agentic AI solutions in production and at scale, not just announce them. The recognition confirms two things: that the member has gone through MACH certification (open, composable, connected), and that the specific agentic work has been independently reviewed against submitted evidence.
Shopmacher is recognized as a system integrator: with organizational readiness to deliver agentic solutions at scale, named leadership within the team, and at least one production delivery.

Live since July 2026: the virtual fitting room at engbers
On the product detail page, customers can upload their own photo and see the garment directly on themselves. The image travels from the frontend through our own service on AWS to Google Vertex AI and back, orchestrated, without the photo being stored permanently.
Since going live, we've continuously measured where users drop off and openly document where the model reaches its limits, for example with accessories or fit. This kind of production operation with real user data is exactly the evidence the award requires.
Delivery capability at scale: bender gruppe
For the bender gruppe, we evaluated, designed and built a complete B2B platform on Emporix in six months, with multi-level customer organizations, location-specific assortments and industry-specific billing models in medical technology.
Delivering a project of this complexity in this timeframe, with clear ownership within the team and strict MVP focus, is exactly the organizational delivery capability the award requires for system integrators.
Agentic AI is moving from experimentation to enterprise adoption, and buyers want confidence in the technologies they're selecting. The Agent Ready Award helps provide that confidence by recognizing MACH-certified members behind demonstrated real-world agentic capabilities.

What this means for you
In RFPs and vendor comparisons, the question is always the same: what do you actually have running in production? The Agent Ready Award gives an independently reviewed answer instead of a claim from a sales deck. For you as a potential partner, that means proven practice instead of promises.
Let's talk about your use case.
Whether it's your own agent infrastructure or the question of where generative AI pays off for your product range: we bring the practice.
