Pickware GmbH

Pickware GmbH is a German software company that specializes in developing integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP), warehouse management (WMS), and point-of-sale (POS) solutions for the e-commerce sector. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Darmstadt, the company has established itself as a key technology partner for online retailers, particularly those utilizing the Shopware and Shopify platforms. Initially started as a software agency named VIISON GmbH, the company pivoted to focus exclusively on its product offerings, rebranding to Pickware GmbH to reflect its core business. The firm is dedicated to streamlining and automating the complex processes that follow an online sale, enabling merchants to manage their entire retail operation from a single, centralized system. This eliminates the need for disparate systems and error-prone data synchronization, leading to increased efficiency and accuracy.

Pickware's product suite is designed to be modular, allowing businesses to select the components that best fit their needs. The core of their offering is the Pickware ERP, which integrates directly into the backend of e-commerce platforms. This central hub manages everything from inventory and warehouse management to purchasing, returns, and analytics. For warehouse logistics, Pickware WMS utilizes mobile barcode scanners and path-optimized picking strategies to significantly reduce picking and packing times and minimize errors. The Pickware POS system, an iPad-based cash register, seamlessly connects online stores with physical retail locations, enabling omnichannel strategies like click-and-collect and providing real-time stock visibility across all channels. The company prides itself on its in-house development, with a significant portion of its team dedicated to software engineering, ensuring high-quality, robust, and continuously updated solutions for its over 1,200 customers.
