Agentic Commerce needs more than just good UX
Many companies are investing in better user experiences. But in B2B, the future of commerce is not determined by the front end alone. For whilst UX aims to guide human users as efficiently as possible, a second level is currently undergoing change: systems are beginning to prepare decisions, evaluate options and, in the future, initiate transactions themselves. It is precisely at this point that a good user interface is no longer enough. As commerce is increasingly co-controlled by systems, the focus shifts. It is no longer just usability that matters, but also whether products, processes and offers are structured in such a way that they can be understood, evaluated and utilised by machines.* Agentic Commerce does not begin with the interface. It begins where systems understand offers.

Operational AI in B2B: From experiment to operational model
Operational AI in B2B: From Experiment to Operating Model Many companies use AI. But only a few make it operationally effective. This is precisely where the difference lies between short-term efficiency gains and genuine competitiveness. For AI does not realise its full value where it merely speeds up individual tasks on an ad hoc basis, but where it is embedded in data, processes, decision-making logic and responsibilities. Only then does AI become an integral part of the operating model. In Shopware’s B2B E-Commerce Compass 2026, Simon Neuberger puts it very clearly: AI and agentic commerce only work properly if the data, system landscape, governance and operating model are robust.
