On devices in dark mode, some buttons, input fields and labels in the shops were shown dark. This has been fixed.

Addresses in your language – including account, cart and checkout

All shop pages now have addresses in the visitor's language, from the company profile to the checkout: /fr/entreprises, /pl/koszyk, /de/konto/bestellungen.

Switching language keeps you on the same page – with filters and search

When you switch language, you stay on the same page: product, filters, search term and anchor are kept, and the address adapts.

Categories in all languages – with readable addresses

The shops' category tree is translated into 25 languages, with readable addresses for each language. The platform translates new categories itself.

Impressions: texts and addresses in every language

Image texts that were only available in German are now translated into all languages of the website, and each language version gets a clean address.

On a seller's mandatory information page – terms and conditions, withdrawal information, privacy policy – the text can now be read in your own language.

Products with a short description now also get questions and answers from their data, and all answers appear in the visitor's language.

Product safety: manufacturer details directly on the product page

Every product page in the shop now has a “Product safety” section with the manufacturer, contact address, product identifier and warnings – as required by the EU General Product Safety Regulation.

Every product page now shows the delivery time, availability and the seller's right of withdrawal straight away – and links to the seller and the manufacturer.

Companies whose website address lacked “https://” linked to an error page in the shop. The button now opens the correct website.

Anyone who opened miegroup.net with “www.” in front got a security warning instead of the page. The address now redirects to miegroup.net.

Product search: “Search differently” and faster results

The search combines AI and keyword search into one result. With “Search differently” you find further matching products.

Find suppliers directly in the panel

Companies now search for suppliers in the panel: describe the need, see verified manufacturers with evidence, contact them or send one request to all matches.

Search by requirement: “Who can …?”

Buyers find manufacturers in the shop by what they can do – with evidence and the reason why they match.

Evidence instead of self-disclosure in the company profile

Company profiles show verified information: deliveries and return rate from orders, proof of trade, associations, languages and confirmed capabilities.

Business relationships from real orders

Supply relationships between companies arise from orders and requests. They only become visible once both sides agree.

Impressions texts in the product gallery

If an Impression has a description, the gallery on the product page shows it next to the image – in the visitor's language.

Order lists at the top of the shop

You can now reach your order lists with one click from the shop header.

Product page shows its own Impressions again
