Multi-brand German fashion retailer modernizing legacy ERP and omnichannel operations
Walbusch-Gruppe operates four apparel and footwear brands (Walbusch, Avena, Mey&Edlich, LaShoe) across 1,001–5,000 employees in Germany. The tech stack reveals a company mid-transformation: Java + Spring Boot + RabbitMQ microservices sit atop Oracle, which they are actively replacing — a signal of moving from monolithic ERP toward cloud-native architecture. Active hiring across engineering, sales, and marketing (accelerating velocity) and concurrent projects on ERP integration middleware and REST API development confirm they are rebuilding core systems while scaling omnichannel retail operations.
Walbusch-Gruppe is a family-owned, publicly traded fashion and footwear conglomerate founded in 1934. The group comprises four distinct brands: Walbusch (the flagship mail-order apparel business), Avena (wellness and vitality-focused), Mey&Edlich (men's fashion, the oldest active German mail-order house), and LaShoe (women's specialty footwear for sensitive feet, acquired 2017). The company operates from Solingen with regional presence in Düsseldorf. Revenue generation flows through direct-to-consumer channels (online shops, catalog) and physical retail stores across Germany. Internal operations span product development, supply chain, digital marketing, and customer service across the portfolio.
