GoodWares Disrupts Europe’s €900B Seller Economy with First-Ever Collaborative ERP Platform
Move over, legacy systems—GoodWares just rewrote the rulebook for Europe's booming seller economy.
The €900B gorilla in the room finally gets a solution that doesn't require selling your soul to enterprise software vendors. Their new collaborative ERP cuts through the red tape that's been strangling small merchants and mid-market players for decades.
Real-time inventory sync? Check. Multi-channel sales tracking without 17 Excel sheets? Obviously. The platform even automates cross-border VAT calculations—because nothing says 'European unity' like tax compliance.
While traditional ERP providers were busy adding more bloat to their 90s-era codebases, GoodWares built for the post-pandemic economy where every retailer is global by default. (Take that, SAP shareholders.)
The real innovation? A revenue-sharing model that lets third-party developers profit from ecosystem growth—finally aligning incentives in a space where 'partner programs' usually mean getting nickel-and-dimed.
Will it actually unclog Europe's fragmented seller ecosystem? Early adopters report 30% faster onboarding than legacy systems. Then again, beating 6-month implementation timelines isn't exactly a high bar—most ERPs move slower than a central bank's monetary policy committee.
The Problem
Most small e-commerce sellers rely on disconnected tools—like spreadsheets, shipping apps, and manual systems—that don’t talk to each other. This leads to poor visibility and bad decision making.
Because they lack volume and rely on unscalable systems, small businesses can’t negotiate better deals on storage, shipping, or staffing. In contrast, big retailers use integrated, data-driven systems to streamline operations and cut costs at scale.
This creates a huge gap: large players grow stronger, while small sellers struggle to compete. According to Statista’s 2024 Digital Market Outlook, there are around 2.4 million small and mid-sized e-commerce businesses in Europe facing exactly these challenges every day. GoodWares is here to close that gap.
The Three Core Layers of GoodWares
GoodWares relies on three smart layers, as explained below:
The EKG is the intelligent backbone of the system—an continuous-evolving, real-time network that maps relationships between products, suppliers, inventory, orders, and shipments. It’s not just a database—it’s a dynamic, visual brain that understands how every part of your business connects. When something changes—like a delayed shipment or supplier issue—the EKG instantly shows the Ripple effects across the entire operation. This gives teams immediate insight into what’s happening, why it matters, and where to act—eliminating guesswork and enabling faster, smarter decisions.
The Blockchain LAYER is the trust engine behind GoodWares—a secure, decentralized infrastructure built on Hyperledger Fabric, purpose-built for seamless, permissioned collaboration between sellers, suppliers, and logistics partners, all without compromising data privacy.
Everything operates on a shared, tamper-proof ledger, allowing businesses to safely collaborate without revealing sensitive information. Sellers can confidently combine order volume, negotiate bulk rates, reduce freight costs, and unlock enterprise-level advantages—all while maintaining full control over their data.
No other technology than blockchain enables this kind of secure, scalable, multi-party cooperation.
Beyond blockchain, the project also makes use of artificial intelligence (AI) for a smarter management. Every day, at every time, the AI system can send a business owner specific alerts on the business.
In fact, with the structured data from the previous layers, GoodWares’ AI has a full vision over the management. Agentic AI can effectively take care of any action, such as reordering products, rerouting shipments, or solving issues automatically.
