Retailers can now access a comprehensive, retail solution that leverages the strengths of Columbus, Shopify and Microsoft to accelerate their digital success.

“Shopify is the fastest growing commerce platform in the world and has proven to become the preferred platform for increasingly larger players within retail, brands and B2B/D2C in our core markets."

Columbus specialises in optimising the entire value chain, offering tailored digital transformation services across cloud ERP, digital commerce, data & AI, and global IT services. By integrating Shopify’s commerce platform into its offerings, Columbus provides retailers with unmatched tools to scale their online presence, enter new markets, and meet the evolving expectations of modern consumers.

Shopify’s platform simplifies and amplifies commerce operations, allowing businesses to create seamless unified commerce experiences across web, mobile, social media, and physical stores. Its suite of tools makes it easy to launch, manage, and grow online and physical retail stores while providing insights and automation to boost conversions and enhance operational efficiency. Through this collaboration, Columbus clients can now embrace a unified approach to commerce that maximises growth potential and deepens customer engagement.

“Shopify is the fastest growing commerce platform in the world and has proven to become the preferred platform for increasingly larger players within retail, brands and B2B/D2C in our core markets. These players are now looking for more than what traditional smaller Shopify agencies bring to the table, and here Columbus will play a significant role. Both in building unified shopping experiences for their customers, but also connecting online sales to instore and back-office functions through our deep expertise within ERP, PIM, POS and OMS”, says Erling Schjetne, Business Line Executive for Columbus’ global Digital Commerce business.

Benjamin Lang, Head of Northern Europe Partnerships at Shopify, shared his excitement: “Partnering with Columbus strengthens our mission to empower businesses of all sizes to thrive. With Columbus’ deep industry knowledge and our platform’s capabilities, we’re helping retailers accelerate their journey to data-driven commerce, delivering speed to market, exceptional user experiences, and tangible growth outcomes.”

The Columbus-Shopify partnership underscores a shared vision: equipping businesses with transformative commerce technology that drives solid values.
