A fixed part of the day for the shopmachers: analyzing and optimizing the online stores.
Excerpt from the site portrait: At the e-commerce agency Shopmacher, everything revolves around the development and expansion of online stores. In the site portrait, we take a look behind the scenes of the company. At Shopmacher, the name says it all. Because online shops are part of the agency’s daily business. These include product platforms, online marketplaces and other e-transaction applications.
The work also focuses on the operation, expansion and further development of e-commerce platforms. To achieve this, the shopmacher are basing their digital strategy on key performance indicators.
The shopmachers are IT experts
CEO André Roitzsch and CTO Manuel Ludvigsen-Diekmann focus their company’s work not only on the development of online stores. The agency expertise also relates to the topic of IT in general. Thus, the team also creates layouts and designs for the self-developed platforms.
Brands such as BVB, Gamescom, Matratzen Concord and Engbers are among the shopmachers’ customers. The agency also built a tech stack based on MACH for the sport2000.de association group.
This is how the e-commerce company Shopmacher works
Since 2005, the Shopmacher team has grown to 79 employees. In addition to an office in the “Silicon Valley of Münsterland”, the e-commerce agency also has two offices in Vietnam.

How retailers ruin their onlineshop system calculations
Most selection processes for shop systems suffer from a shortened horizon. Retailers compare one-off license and implementation costs, but systematically ignore the expenses that become decisive over the life cycle of three to five years. Shopmacher have developed a TCO calculator to help online retailers calculate the actual costs.
The Guesswork Trap: Why digital projects fail before they start
Most digital projects fail not because of the technology chosen, but because of a dangerous mixture of unclear starting points, vague requirements and unclear responsibilities. This “guesswork trap” means that IT projects are often managed on the basis of assumptions rather than facts. As a result, budgets are calculated too optimistically, technical debts grow unnoticed and the end result is a system that fails to meet business objectives.
