Case Study: scrappel GmbH achieves a secure, scalable digital marketplace for scrap trading with commercetools

Scrappel GmbH - Customer Case Study

scrappel, a Berlin-based digital B2B marketplace for recyclable materials, needed to replace fragmented, informal scrap-trading workflows with a secure, transparent end-to-end platform that supports negotiations, payments, verification, transport and factoring. To meet these goals it leveraged commercetools’ API-first, microservices approach as the foundation for its e-commerce backend.

Implementation partners ARITHNEA and adesso built a messenger-style app on commercetools, adding merchant verification, an escrow payment system tied to digital weight notes, and integrations for factoring and transport — and launched the Minimal Marketable Product in just six months. By using commercetools’ flexible microservices, scrappel delivered bank-like, lower-fee transactions, opened access to ~20,000 potential merchandisers, and created a platform that can be rapidly extended with new services.
