And with ITscope, we have crea­ted a plat­form that enables exact­ly this and sim­pli­fies the work­flows of sys­tem hou­ses, sup­pli­ers and manu­fac­tu­r­ers a litt­le bit every day.

Our history

2003

The founding

While mee­ting in an out­door swim­ming pool, three fri­ends from Karlsdorf-Neuthard in Baden (Germany) for­ged a busi­ness plan for a com­pa­ny that would have a las­ting impact on the ITC industry.

2004

Next steps

It took rough­ly one year to deve­lop soft­ware that trans­par­ent­ly dis­play­ed pro­duct data inclu­ding pri­ces, deli­very cos­ts and stock levels for initi­al­ly around 200,000 pro­ducts from 119 sup­pli­ers on one plat­form. ITscope’s first pro­duct, the MarketViewer, was born.

2005

Growing company visibility

The Karlsruhe-based start­up attrac­ted the atten­ti­on of trade press: “Distris spied on” – this was the (trans­la­ted) head­line of a major indus­try jour­nal and not only cau­sed a lot of com­mo­ti­on among dis­tri­bu­tors, but also drew the atten­ti­on of num­e­rous ITC indus­try resel­lers to the ITscope plat­form. In a short amount of time, the num­ber of pay­ing cus­to­mers dou­bled; within a few weeks, ano­ther 250 com­pa­nies regis­tered for a test account.

2008

The first interfaces

Interfaces to Mention and c‑entron were introduced.

2012

Ordering directly via ITscope

Orders can now be pla­ced direct­ly via ITscope with all lis­ted dis­tri­bu­tors. Gradually, EDI con­nec­tions to now more than 40 dis­tri­bu­tors, inclu­ding ALSO, api, Ingram Micro, KOMSA and Tech Data, were implemented.

2018

Selling via ITscope

2018 is the birth year of ITscope’s e‑commerce solu­ti­on: sys­tem hou­ses can now crea­te B2B shops for their end cus­to­mers direct­ly via the tra­ding plat­form and bene­fit from the exten­si­ve ITscope cata­lo­gue with more than ICT artic­les from sup­pli­ers and 7,400 acti­ve spe­cia­list dea­lers. ITscope is acces­si­ble at any time and on any device, making it one of the most important mar­ket­places for the ICT trade.

2020

ITscope acquires cop

ITscope or cop? Since 2020, that ques­ti­on no lon­ger ari­ses. With the acqui­si­ti­on of cop soft­ware + ser­vices, two strong plat­forms joi­n­ed forces. Together, they unlo­cked new poten­ti­al and fur­ther expan­ded their offe­ring for IT sys­tem hou­ses and resellers.

2021

Merger with weclapp

Following seve­ral years of coope­ra­ti­on, ITscope beca­me a sub­si­dia­ry of weclapp SE in 2021 and is now con­ti­nuing its growth tra­jec­to­ry at an acce­le­ra­ted pace. The two com­pa­nies com­ple­ment each other and will offer mutu­al cus­to­mers fur­ther poten­ti­al bene­fits in the future.

2022

ITscope becomes part of the Exact Company

With Exact’s acqui­si­ti­on of weclapp, ITscope is now part of the Exact Group. As part of this strong net­work, ITscope cus­to­mers bene­fit from long-term sta­bi­li­ty, enhan­ced cyber­se­cu­ri­ty, and a future-proof strategy.
