Supply chain and payments service layer for food & retail wholesalers
Markant Gruppe operates a B2B services platform for 14,000+ food and non-food suppliers and 150+ retailers across Europe, handling data streams, payments, and market research. The tech stack is Java/Spring Boot–based with heavy EDI (EDIFACT, Peppol) and master-data infrastructure (Neo4j, REST APIs), and the company is actively standardizing EDI integration — a signals-and-data plumbing modernization. Hiring is engineering-led (8 of 20 open roles) and accelerating, with stated pain points around scaling services, master-data migration, and supply-chain error analysis.
