D&G-Versandhaus-System VS/4: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

The D&G-Versandhaus-System VS/4 is an ERP and merchandise management system from D&G-Software GmbH in Waldbronn for mail order, e-commerce, retail stores and wholesale. It manages all sales channels centrally and covers order processing, customer service, marketing and BI, sales, purchasing and replenishment, logistics and finance. It also includes an online shop, connections to web shops and marketplaces, and a link for branch stores with point of sale. The vendor describes the system as modular and suitable for both B2C and B2B.

VS/4 runs on-premises on your own infrastructure or in a private cloud. For that cloud, D&G works with the partner teccle group; according to the vendor, data is processed exclusively in Germany. The system can also be integrated into a data centre of your choice. D&G-Software has been an independent German company since a management buy-out in 1987, and no foreign parent company is stated. The vendor presents the cloud offering as GDPR-compliant. For a private cloud, ask for the data processing agreement with the partner.

D&G-Versandhaus-System VS/4 runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

D&G-Versandhaus-System VS/4 is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code.
