2003 

The year starts with a relaunch. A fresh breeze blows through the design of the Compass24-appearances and presents a maritime flair in a contemporary design. The shipping company Egon Oldendorff is also set up for seafaring. The crew-database, used to hire and administer seafarers worldwide, is completely redeveloped by Satzmedia in order to meet the current demands.

In the innovations sector, the division Satzmedia Katalog GmbH has developed a unique product: The link of online-shops with product and shipping catalogues via interactive PDF's. Well-known outdoor supplier Globetrotter is won as a Satzmedia customer through this innovation. The Globetrotter catalogue is presented as a "virtual manual" on its homepage www.globetrotter.de. Numerous other customers for the interactive PDF software are won during the course of the year. The performance of Satzmedia GmbH in November at the shipping industry fair in Wiesbaden is exceptionally successful. It enables Satzmedia not only to intensify the relations with numerous existing customers, but also to win eight new customers for its products. Satzmedia carries out an extensive marketing-campaign in collaboration with the specialist journal of the sector called 'Versandhausberater'. For the duration of the fair, Satzmedia evaluates the E-Business-behaviour of shipping businesses via a poll. Furthermore, Christian Satz holds a lecture about innovative e-commerce business models at the fair.

The foundation stone for partnership between Satzmedia and Stibo A/S is laid at the Wiesbaden fair too, and leads to a close cooperation of both companies in developing specialized e-business-solutions for the administration of catalogue-data of large businesses. In 2003 Satzmedia developers also continue to support the IT-demands of Max Bahr on various business levels.
