Globetrotter, one of the biggest German online shops wants to wean off its in-house built shop system and in the next year completely switch to Magento. This was reported by the German language periodical t3n-Magazin.
At the beginning of the year, Globetrotter had already moved the German edition of the Jack Wolfskin shop over to Magento.
With this move, Globetrotter will be the largest German online shop to switch to the Magento open source solution.
In business year 2008/09, Globetrotter raised its total revenues from 178 million euro to 205 million euro (German press release). According to information released from the company, 75 million euro of that was earned via e-commerce. At the beginning of the year Globetrotter also took a 25% stake in the Swiss travel supply store Transa.
