In this German round‑table moderated by Andreas, three experts – Claudia Nölken‑Niebuhr (Otto), Torben Irmer (CTO, HeyConnect) and industry veteran Stefan Wenzel – discuss how successful marketplace strategies are built and the role of data versus technology. The conversation starts with the provocative thesis “Tech is commodity, data is the key differentiator”. Claudia stresses that high‑quality product data (content) is the basic prerequisite for visibility and sales on Otto’s qualified marketplace, while also highlighting the need for transparent, fair partner onboarding. Torben argues that data alone is not enough; the real differentiator is the ability of merchants and service providers to interpret data and act on it in real time, enabling multi‑marketplace forecasting, margin optimisation and logistics planning. Stefan adds that both technology and data must be used to generate value, pointing out current gaps in seller‑side economics, real‑time insights and KPI tracking. The panel touches on practical seller advice (product listings, pricing, advertising, reviews), the importance of customer experience versus competition with Amazon, logistics challenges for low‑price items, and the need for ecosystem collaboration and transparent data sharing. The discussion ends with a summary of strategic priorities, the need for competence building, and a call for partners to engage further.
