commercetools is built on modern MACH principles – this enables merchants the chance to reduce operating costs and cut tech debt while enabling a faster route to market. The platform was founded in 2010 by Dirk Hoerig, a German entrepreneur. commercetools works with the likes of Qantas, Kmart Australia, Bailey Nelson, Breville, Baby Bunting and Koala.
