Jena, 1st March, 2015:
Effective from 1 March 2015, the eCommerce service provider empiriecom officially started its business activities. Empiriecom manages about 40 online presences of different companies belonging to the Otto Group. They include, for example, the online shops of Baur, Ackermann, I’m Walking, Universal as well as Quelle in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The empiriecom “eCommerce platform services” comprise set-up, further development, operation and optimization of the online shop technology for online sellers. Following the management consulting services during the foundation and the set-up of a new eCommerce platform, Dr. Vogt, former Smart Commerce SE board member, has taken over the tasks as CTO of empiriecom KG as of 1 March 2015.
Dr. Ludger Vogt is the founder of Smart Commerce SE. In his position as chairman, three positive business years were achieved. The results of the successful third year were reported in February (see PR Smart Commerce SE closes third financial year with positive results). The growth in revenue, profits and end results is in a three-digit number range in 2014. „I regret that Dr. Vogt is no longer part of the Smart Commerce board. I would like to thank him for his committed work as well as his contribution to the success of Smart Commerce and I wish him all the best for his new tasks as CTO of empiriecom“, said chairman of the supervisory board Friedhelm Bischofs.
