Company History
Intershop was founded in 1992 as "NetConsult" by Stephan Schambach, Karsten Schneider, and Wilfried Beeck. The Company in 1995 created the first German WWW-based online store.[2] Also in 1995, they created "Intershop Online, the first standard software for e- commerce applications",[3] marketed in the U.S. one year later [4] (see also Online shopping) and continued to be one of the leading software developers for this early time of the market.[5]
Beyond that it is known as one of the prime German examples of the so-called "New Economy bubble" (company value rose to 11 billion USD in 2000 only to fall to penny stock levels in very short time[3]). At one point, a profit warning by Intershop caused widespread losses for other tech companies; for example, even SAP's stock fell by 8%.[6] The company hardly survived the crash but was able to keep operating and to continue development of its products. In the process, about 30 spin-offs were founded, including Pixaco (later acquired by Hewlett-Packard), and Demandware,.[3]
It now is a major player in its segment again, having gained new customers as well as strong partners. Since 2010 GSI Commerce (owned by EBay since 2011) is a major (minority) shareholder in Intershop Communications, using Intershop's software for its own customers.
