The innovative software company specializes in ERP systems for fashion and department stores \u2013 fortunately, maconda possesses deep industry knowledge in both software development and retail. <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the CDD, maconda examined Intelligix&#8217;s offerings in detail and highlighted competitive advantages. This was supplemented by numerous interviews with industry insiders from the maconda network and an analysis of existing and potential customers. The multitude of sources provided a differentiated view of Intelligix&#8217;s positioning and the market in which the company operates. For example, many larger fashion houses \u2013 contrary to public perception given the problems of some large chains \u2013 are solidly positioned. This proves the sales market for Intelligix&#8217;s industry-specific solutions to be unexpectedly robust. In addition, the maconda team identified new growth opportunities: &#8220;A decisive factor is the scalability of Intelligix software,&#8221; explains maconda managing director Rainer Mayer. &#8220;This makes it possible to operate successfully beyond fashion houses.&#8221;      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Intelligix<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intelligix is an innovative software company specializing in the development of merchandise management systems (MMS) and software for legally compliant POS systems. The software is also offered as a SaaS solution. In addition, there are modules for Business Analytics, HR, and Document Management. The customer focus is on larger fashion houses and department stores with more complex assortment structures and usually multiple checkout areas.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>maconda \u2013 Extensive Retail Experience Meets Software Sales Expertise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the German-speaking region, maconda is one of the most experienced consultants for due diligences and similar services related to retail companies.

In addition to pure market factors, maconda consultants also know the important processes of such retail companies and the high demands on efficiency and precision. An integration into a CDD for a software company specializing in this area was therefore particularly suitable.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, maconda has systematically deepened its software expertise across all relevant delivery models (SaaS, on-premise, hybrid) and functional areas.
