JTL continues to grow and acquires JERA

• JTL is once again expanding its portfolio and investing in JERA, a leading provider of interfaces between eCommerce and multichannel software and financial accounting.
• For customers, JERA simplifies the aggregation of accounting data and the transfer to the tax consultant and their tax system.
• With this further addition, the JTL Group, with its subsidiaries countX and JERA, offers online retailers a powerful portfolio of automated financial and tax processes.

Hückelhoven, August 5 – JTL-Software-GmbH (JTL), one of the leading developers of eCommerce and multichannel software in German-speaking countries, has acquired JERA GmbH (JERA). The company develops solutions for the optimal transfer of accounting data from ERP software and other eCommerce systems to financial accounting software (FiBu). JTL is thus further expanding its position as a holistic provider of solutions for online and multichannel commerce and enabling users to integrate their financial accounting processes even better from a single source.

JERA optimizes the integration of financial accounting data in online business

The software manufacturer JERA from Vörstetten in Baden-Württemberg offers leading software for the optimal transfer of accounting data from ERP systems and other solutions to the financial accounting software of tax consultants. The interfaces are used to aggregate postings from the ERP system and post them to the correct revenue accounts. At the same time, the postings are reconciled with the transactions from marketplaces (e.g. Amazon, eBay) and the respective incoming payments (e.g. via PayPal, Mollie). The seamless transfer of data to leading tax consultant systems, including DATEV, significantly reduces the workload for tax consultants. JERA can look back on over 20 years of experience in eCommerce and is used by more than 3,000 companies.

JTL strengthens its position as a holistic solution provider

The investment in JERA marks a significant strategic milestone for JTL. As a holistic software provider in eCommerce and multichannel retail, JTL pursues the goal of offering customers the most comprehensive listing possible. The acquisition is part of the company’s growth strategy. In addition to significant investments in the existing product portfolio, this also includes making the range of products and services even more comprehensive and attractive for customers through acquisitions.

JTL Group expands portfolio with specialists for FiBU processes in online business

With JERA at its side, JTL is further expanding its expertise in the area of tax processes and thus facilitating the work of the respective tax consultants. They benefit from the increased accuracy and efficiency of these systems. This gives them more time to optimally support eCommerce clients with individual advice. Through the subsidiary countX, which has been part of the JTL Group since January 2024, online retailers already benefit from simplified management of VAT challenges in cross-border trade. JERA simplifies the management of financial accounting so that merchants can fully focus on the further growth of their business without being slowed down by tax requirements. Overall, the expanded JTL Group creates an innovative and powerful environment that greatly simplifies the entire accounting process within digital commerce.

Joint growth in a dynamic industry

JERA has been a JTL service partner since 2014. The strategic partnership is thus preceded by numerous successfully completed joint projects. Looking forward to a promising future together, JTL and JERA are excited and determined to further intensify their collaboration. Our joint mission is to develop future-proof solutions that are tailored to the increasing demands of the eCommerce industry.

Sebastian Evers, CEO of JTL: “ I am looking forward to being able to offer our customers even better solutions for the integration of financial accounting data in the future with such a powerful and established company as JERA. We are not only united by our enthusiasm for the ever-changing eCommerce industry, but also by the pursuit of innovative and customer-oriented software.”

Sonja Hermle, Johannes Seidel and Klaus Peter Posselt, all Managing Directors of JERA: “The partnership with JTL is a significant and goal-oriented step towards growth for us – our software solutions harmonize perfectly with each other. We firmly believe that together we will develop solutions that bring the best possible benefits to online retailers in their business lives.”
