Intershop Communications AG, a global provider of B2B e-commerce solutions for the manufacturing, wholesale and distribution sectors, today announced it has been named in The Forrester Wave™: Commerce Solutions, Q3 2026, an independent evaluation of commerce platforms. Intershop was among the 10 providers assessed in this report.
For Intershop, this recognition reflects a deliberate strategy: bringing agentic AI tooling into everyday B2B operations where it creates measurable value. Markus Dranert, CEO of Intershop, emphasized the company's focus on practical, real-world AI for complex B2B scenarios. “We believe this result reflects our unrelenting focus on B2B and the investments we have made in practical, real-world AI. Our customers, from hidden-champion manufacturers to global industrial powerhouses, need commerce that handles genuine complexity. That is exactly what we build,” Dranert stated.
Andy Stanis, EVP and Managing Director for Intershop Americas, added, “Serious commerce leaders don’t accept platforms that treat B2B as an add-on. We believe Forrester recognizing Intershop validates what our customers experience every day: when the complexity is real, this is the platform engineered for it.”
The Forrester Wave report evaluates commerce solutions based on current offering, strategy, and market presence. Intershop's inclusion underscores its capabilities in handling intricate B2B transactions, multi-channel sales, and AI-powered automation.
