Our story so far | ZEOS · Europe, unlocked.

We started with 15 years under our belt.

15 years operating across 25 countries taught Zalando many things. Europe is complex. One market on paper. Many unique markets in practice.

Over the years, Zalando developed a proprietary technology stack, built a logistics infrastructure, and amassed unrivaled expertise to unlock Europe’s potential. All tailored to fashion and lifestyle. It powered Zalando’s growth as a retailer and opened up new possibilities for brands who onboarded on Zalando’s direct-to-consumer platform.

ZEOS was built on this experience.

A whole new way to tap into Europe

ZEOS created a whole new way for everyone to tap into Europe’s potential.

We opened up Zalando’s fulfillment capabilities: handling orders not only from Zalando but from a multitude of the most relevant European fashion & lifestyle sales channels via one stock pool.

We opened up Zalando’s Ecosystem

We opened up Zalando’s ecosystem, allowing brands and retailers to connect to key European marketplaces and carriers with one single integration.

Now, we’re thinking even bigger.

An operating system for fashion & lifestyle

We’re building an operating system to revolutionize how fashion & lifestyle operates online – across logistics, software, and services. Just as cloud computing transformed data storage and the tech industry as a whole, our goal is to share Zalando’s pan-European logistics network and power it with cutting-edge technology. Enabling brands and retailers to unlock Europe, manage their multi-channel business in one place, and reach their full profitability potential. One e-commerce integration. One logistics network. One control panel.

Two visionaries come together.

Tradebyte is on board to make the ZEOS vision a reality. Our pioneering partnership forms the cornerstone of our software strategy. For 15 years, Tradebyte has been delivering smooth multi-channel business across the continent. They know fashion. They know Europe. They know data. They’re the perfect partners for our bold vision. Together, we aim to build a seamless connection between integration, logistics, and end-to-end e-commerce insights.

Imagine everything in one.

We’re developing something ambitious: one control panel. Visualize your full multi-channel e-commerce journey. Clearly see how products perform everywhere they're sold. Anticipate shifts in demand with tailored forecasting. Link sales decisions with smart inventory management, minimizing returns across the board. Get personalized advice on how to maximize the available insights into your product journey to achieve your goals. Control every aspect of your business. We’re here to reimagine how fashion & lifestyle operates online. Imagine the possibilities.
