What 7th Sense does

7th Sense is a privately-held German e-commerce agency headquartered in Reutlingen that delivers end-to-end digital commerce services for B2C, B2B, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands. The firm operates what it labels a '360° commerce' model spanning strategic e-commerce consulting, UX and design, technical platform implementation, system and interface integration, and ongoing shop maintenance. Its client base consists of enterprise and mid-market manufacturers and brand owners primarily in the DACH region, with documented project references including Hama, WMF, VAUDE, Mercedes Benz, deuter, Ortovox, Maier Sports, Gonso, Josera & Erbacher, Schlossberg Switzerland, RIEGLER, and CHRIS sports.

The company's core technology is a multi-platform commerce stack: it holds the highest Shopware partner certification, is an Adobe Commerce / Magento agency with 13 Magento Certified Developers, is a certified Hyvä Commerce partner for performance-oriented frontends, and offers Akeneo PIM integration alongside Shopify Plus cloud commerce services. This breadth allows the firm to position itself as a platform-agnostic consultant for replatforming decisions (e.g., from Magento to Shopware 6) rather than being locked to a single vendor, and the certified developer base is the primary technical asset cited in competitive positioning.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements (consulting, project management, technical implementation) combined with recurring post-go-live support and continuous optimization contracts. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by a corporate website, published case studies, and the 'CommerceBits' blog; no public pricing or self-service channel exists. The firm markets 'Made in Germany' service quality, serves Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and offers internationalization and marketplace integration as adjacent solution lines.
