E-commerce Platform

Some people still like to push a shopping cart, for everyone else we have created the M.Shop.

With the M.Shop we offer a convenient experience, both for our customers and for METRO’s sales representatives that order on their behalf.

The challenge

Today anyone can easily start an ecommerce business. It is not easy if you are as big as METRO. With growing customer expectations and a large variety of goods, a reliable shopping platform could be a challenge.

Working in M.Shop has been great. As engineers, our day-to-day work is full of technical challenges. We always try to develop the best solution there is, taking data-driven decisions and always thinking about the customer first. It is exciting to work on something that you know has a great impact on the user.
