Intershop's existing partner portal was inconvenient to maintain and limited in functionality, focusing solely on content management. As the partner network grew, there was a need to automate documentation processes, reduce manual data maintenance, and create a collaborative platform for two-way communication with partners. The availability of out-of-the-box integrations was essential to reduce the efforts required for documentation. Internal transparency and a clear overview of partner activities and pipelines were also critical needs.
