With the foundation of Smart Commerce in 2012, Ludger Vogt took a completely different approach to full-service providers. Here, the focus was not to be on the profit of executives, but on the participation and co-determination of all – and that is still the recipe for success today! We look back on many milestones that have contributed to the success of Smart Commerce and our clients.
In May 2012, Smart Commerce SE is founded by Dr Ludger Vogt. It starts with a team of technical experts and offers planning, building and operating complete eCommerce solutions. The services offered are aimed at medium-sized and large retailers and manufacturers.
