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, reflecting its deliberate strategy of integrating agentic AI tooling into everyday B2B operations where it creates measurable value.
Markus Dranert, CEO of Intershop, stated: “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.”
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 recognition from Forrester underscores the importance of specialized B2B commerce solutions that can handle the intricate demands of industrial buyers. Intershop’s emphasis on agentic AI—AI that can autonomously perform tasks and make decisions—positions it to help clients streamline complex sales processes, improve customer retention, and drive digital sales revenue. The company’s platform is designed to manage multi-brand, multi-channel operations across regions, a critical capability for global manufacturers and wholesalers.
