About Behind The Click Podcast | E-commerce and Leadership

Because behind every click lies a story - a story of vision, leadership, and innovation. And that’s exactly the story we want to tell. Previously E-commerce Germany News Podcast, the show is about the people making decisions and driving progress in the industry. But it’s also about what it takes to make that click happen - the strategies, insights, and leadership that inspire change, build teams, and create the future. Powered by E-commerce Germany News - part of the larger E-commerce Berlin Expo ecosystem. Hosted by Janine Vanessa Heinrich.

#64: Arber Sejdiji, CEO & Co-founder of Zenline AI, on AI-powered category management for retailers

Welcome to Behind the Click, powered by the ⁠E-commerce Berlin Expo. [https://buff.ly/3srq0Lr]Retailers manage millions of products - yet most decisions about what to stock and what to charge are still made with outdated tools and incomplete data. So what does it actually take to fix that?In this episode, host Janine Vanessa Heinrich sits down with Arber Sejdiji, CEO & Co-founder of Zenline AI and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, who is building the AI-native layer for retail assortments, helping category teams answer the two questions that drive everything: what should I offer, and what will my customers actually pay for it?https://www.linkedin.com/in/janine-vanessa-heinrich/https://www.linkedin.com/in/arbersejdiji/From Excel-based category reviews to fully agentic AI systems, Arber explains why most retailers are still operating with the mindset of two years ago, why European retailers risk falling dangerously behind Amazon, Temu, and Shein, and why waiting for perfect data is the biggest mistake a retailer can make.They explore what it really means to automate a category manager's job, how a single wrong data definition can make an AI agent completely useless, and why the companies that win will be the ones that increase the velocity of their decisions, not just the quality of their tools.🟠 Interested in being a guest on our podcast?

#63: Andreas Fischer, CEO of minubo, on building the data foundation every e-commerce brand needs

Welcome to Behind the Click, powered by the ⁠E-commerce Berlin Expo. [https://buff.ly/3srq0Lr] Data is the foundation of every smart business decision in e-commerce. But most companies are sitting on a mountain of it without knowing how to turn it into action or profit. In this episode, host Janine Vanessa Heinrich sits down with Andreas Fischer, CEO of minubo, winner of the Jury Grand Choice Award at the E-commerce Germany Awards, to unpack why most e-commerce brands are still struggling to make data work for them, and what it actually takes to fix that. From data silos and broken BI pipelines to AI-ready data models and semantic layers, Andreas explains why two-thirds of AI projects fail before they even start, and why the problem is almost never the technology. They explore what it really means to be data-driven versus just data-rich, how a single bad data point can cost a retailer thousands, and why building the right data foundation is the most important thing an e-commerce brand can do before touching AI. 🟠 Interested in being a guest on our podcast?

#60: Felix Hoffmann, Founder & CEO at 7Learnings, on how AI agents will reshape retail

Welcome to Behind the Click, powered by the ⁠⁠E-commerce Berlin Expo.⁠ [https://buff.ly/3srq0Lr] Are we entering the era of autonomous shopping? In this episode, host Janine Vanessa Heinrich sits down with Felix Hoffmann, Founder & CEO at 7Learnings, to unpack how AI shopping agents and decision automation will reshape retail in Europe, and why most retailers aren’t ready yet. Felix breaks down the future of commerce using a powerful analogy: autonomous driving to autonomous shopping. Europe is currently at “level 1–2” (chatbots, recommendations, early orchestration), but the real disruption isn’t instant checkout - it’s decision optimization: when AI starts making purchase decisions and retailers must adapt from selling to humans to selling to agents. From OpenAI, Google, Amazon, and the race to own the shopping layer, to what retailers need to build (APIs, data readiness, cost attribution) to stay discoverable, this episode is a wake-up call for anyone working in e-commerce, pricing, or retail strategy. 🟠 Interested in being a guest on our podcast?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
