Leading European DIY retailer capitalizing on faster access to data and reduced time to market

Frankfurt (September 9, 2025) – Solace, the leader in powering real-time, event-driven integration for the agentic age, today announced that HORNBACH Baumarkt AG (HORNBACH), one of Europe’s largest home improvement retailers, has successfully gone live with Solace’s real-time, event-driven integration platform, marking a major milestone in the company’s journey to deliver a faster, more seamless shopping experience, both online and in-store.

With over 170 stores across Europe, HORNBACH faced the challenge of managing a wide spectrum of distributed systems, keeping inventory accurate and quickly rolling out new services to meet shifting consumer demands. Its legacy Point-of-Sale (POS) system had served its purpose well but lacked the flexibility to provide the advanced insights and speed of change they needed to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market.

Working with Solace, HORNBACH deployed multiple event brokers in a poly cloud environment and its physical HORNBACH store locations. This event mesh serves to standardize event-driven architectures within a highly distributed business application landscape, unifying system integration and providing a secure, scalable, and robust mesh to enable close-to-real-time retail. Together with new cloud-based systems, the event mesh ensures critical data events like price updates, product information, and sales data are instantly shared where and when needed, powering smarter and faster in-store and customer experiences such as the HORNBACH omnichannel offering and the customer app.

Solace has been a strategic partner in helping us modernize our technology landscape with a true poly cloud capable Enterprise Event Mesh to meet the real-time demands of today’s retail environment. By moving to an event-driven architecture, we’ve gained the flexibility and speed we need to connect systems across all our stores and digital channels,” said Carsten Müller, Vice-President, Enterprise Architecture at HORNBACH. “This platform is enabling us to access data faster, reduce time to market and continue our commitment to driving innovation at scale.”

By enabling a real-time data flow across systems, HORNBACH is well-positioned today to optimize store efficiencies, better respond to evolving customer expectations, and strengthen their digital expansion.

We’re proud to support Hornbach in transforming their operations with real-time, event-driven integration. The speed and scale of this rollout is impressive and serves as a great example of how a modern integration infrastructure can fuel innovation in retail,” said Vincent Rontani, SVP, Europe at Solace.
