We are a group of online platforms in various industries. Our mission: to connect dedicated brick and mortar partners with customers. To do this, we use three core competencies for each platform:
We build all the interfaces and technology. With our unique software, we can spread our retailers' products over different 50 channels. There is also a complete two-way connection to the retailer's stock management system. Each partner can therefore supply over 50 channels at once.
Our marketing experts take care of both SEA and SEO to optimize online visibility, thereby continuously gaining our partners new customers. The Platform Group's expertise and reach come together to provide our retail partners with personalized marketing services.
We implement efficient IT processes to ensure that products, customers and retailers are seamlessly connected. Our unique technology enables smooth and effective processes for our partners. We have an excellent management system which we use as a basis for our business practices.

Our vision for the future is to combine local partners with online commerce in almost all industries. In 2024, we achieved sales of EUR 525 million with EBITDA of EUR 33 million, more than 1340 people work in our group.
Our concept is designed to support local retailers. Our in-depth knowledge of local characteristics is an important factor that sets us apart from our competitors. Small, community-based partners above all others are currently facing major challenges. That's where we come in.
In the coming years, we will continue to focus on expanding our market share and leveraging the growth momentum from the combination of customer reach and networked inventory. Our goal is to digitize further markets.
In 2024 we achieved a revenue of EUR 525 millions. By the end of the next fiscal year, the market share is expected to have increased by a significant percentage.

Other retailers soon asked if he could also sell for them on various online channels and use the software. This became the crux of the idea – to take on the responsibility of turning a local retailer into an online store. The original concept of Schuhe24 was born. The range of shoes on offer is vast and there are endless retailers asking to take part. Our service coveres all parts of the value chain in ecommerce: content, software, payment, marketing, customer support and after sales-marketing.
The products are offered on several online stores (Schuhe24, Outfits24, Taschen24, etc.), as well as on channels like AboutYou, Trendyol, Limango or Mirapodo, Görtz and 40more. In some cases, products are also offered on marketplaces such as Amazon, Kaufland, Zalando or eBay, as well as US marketplaces. The goal is always the same: with the software and services of The Platform Group, retailers can reach many more channels than they would by themselves. They need no specific knowledge, need no specific software and have no capital requirements.
