What VOIDS does

VOIDS Technology GmbH is a Hamburg-based SaaS company that sells AI-powered demand forecasting and inventory optimization software to direct-to-consumer (D2C) e-commerce brands operating primarily on Shopify in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) with initial presence in the Netherlands. The platform replaces manual Excel-based planning by generating SKU-, channel-, and country-level sales forecasts, automated purchase order recommendations, purchase order (PO) management, event-specific forecasting (e.g., Black Friday), product launch planning, and marketing-campaign-aware inventory steering, with integrations into Shopify, Billbee, Google Ads, Slack, and warehouse/logistics providers. The company claims customer outcomes of +10% revenue and -30% inventory value within six months, 15x average ROI, 90% time reduction in purchasing, and SKU availability improvements to 97-99% across a customer base of 250+ brands managing approximately 2 billion EUR in annual forecasted sales.

The underlying technology combines AI/ML-based predictive analytics, optimization routines that balance liquidity against availability (including minimum-order-quantity setup at the variant level), anomaly detection that corrects historical baselines distorted by stockouts, and event forecasting for promotions. Product surface consists of five interconnected modules — Forecasting, Purchasing Planning, PO Management, Product Launches, and Marketing Control — augmented by financial impact analysis tracking 20+ KPIs in euros, Google Ads inventory control, automatic Slack reporting, seasonality analysis, and growth-trend/lifecycle tracking. The platform is delivered as cloud SaaS with a native Shopify app and is positioned as a data processor under GDPR Article 28.

Commercially, VOIDS operates a direct enterprise sales motion targeting mid-market and enterprise e-commerce brands, supplemented by a referral channel of agency partners (CRM, Google Ads, performance marketing), warehouse and logistics software providers (Pickware, Everstox), post-purchase platforms (Karla, Chatarmin), and a growth capital firm (eser.capital). Pricing is quote-based with monthly billing, no public tiers, and a free 30-minute audit offered as a top-of-funnel conversion tool. The company is privately held (HRB 176999, Hamburg), founded in 2022, with co-founders Jannik Semmelhaack and Tobias Wandersleb as managing directors; the only disclosed funding to date is a $20,000 Techstars investment in September 2022, and headcount is reported at 1-10 employees.
