Kabs operates a 55-year-old retail furniture business across seven German states with 13 physical locations plus an online channel. The company is undergoing substantial infrastructure modernization—migrating from legacy systems to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Azure, while simultaneously integrating Shopware for omnichannel operations. This multi-system transition, combined with active projects in assortment planning and a new product line launch (House of Kabs), signals a phase of operational scaling and digital-first positioning in a traditionally brick-and-mortar category.
