Wilo, one of the top premium suppliers of pumps and pump systems for the building services, water management, and industrial sectors, has chosen Spryker, a leading digital commerce platform for B2B, B2C, Enterprise Marketplaces, and Unified Commerce, to create a fully digital B2B purchasing experience for their international customers. Partner diva-e will head up the end-to-end platform deployment and offer consultancy services to assist the development of the business model.
Wilo’s more than 80 manufacturing and distribution firms serve a highly fragmented industry with lengthy decision-making processes.

“We see Wilo as a digital pioneer and a leader in the pump business.” The rationale for this is their desire to address the underlying principles of networked computing and, as a result, more resource-efficient energy utilization. This will have an influence on the whole private and working world, and we are delighted to be a part of this forward-thinking,” stated Sirko Schneppe, Diva-Founder, and CCO. “As a result, Wilo’s development focus is turning to new business models and additional service offerings that are represented in the digital realm.” diva-e is well-positioned to assist Wilo with our end-to-end digital expertise in the B2B arena, and we are a long-standing member of the Open Industry Alliance to meet our clients’ IoT needs.
