Ryzon x OpenFiskal: How the Cologne sports brand runs Shopify POS compliantly

About Ryzon

Ryzon is not just a sports apparel brand, it is a community. Founded in Cologne, Ryzon has built a strong reputation among cyclists, triathletes, and endurance athletes worldwide within just a few years. The brand stands for premium quality, minimalist design, and responsible production.

A central part of Ryzon’s DNA is its close connection to the community. Whether in their Cologne and Munich stores, at pop-up events in Mallorca, or at international trade fairs, Ryzon seeks direct contact with athletes. This proximity continuously inspires product development and makes Ryzon more than just an outfitter.

The Challenge

This strong connection to the community also means Ryzon goes where the athletes are. Events, pop-ups, trade fairs, the POS setup has to work everywhere.

The challenge:

• Ensuring TSE compliance across all locations, including temporary ones

• Maintaining flexibility with constantly changing setups and requirements

• Seamless integration into Shopify POS without additional tools or stand-alone systems

• Enabling scalability for new locations and growing demands

For Moritz Barmann, Finance & Accounting Manager at Ryzon, it was clear:

“We needed a setup that matches a dynamic brand, reliable, legally compliant, and at the same time as flexible as we are.”

The Solution

Ryzon chose OpenFiskal. The reason: its seamless integration as a Shopify app. No stand-alone system, no extra effort, just an extension that fits perfectly into the existing Shopify setup.

The rollout was smooth:

• Out-of-the-box: OpenFiskal was integrated and ready to use immediately

• Support: With direct assistance from the OpenFiskal team, Ryzon was able to go live quickly

• Corporate identity fit: The setup aligned not only technically but also visually with the Ryzon brand world

The Results

The benefits became clear right away:

• Full legal compliance: Every transaction is signed in accordance with TSE regulations. Since implementation, Ryzon has experienced zero failures in fiscalization.
  
  

• Higher efficiency in daily operations: With the digital cashbook and automated processes, manual effort has been eliminated. Especially with changing setups at events and pop-ups, this provides noticeable relief.
  
  

• Automated cash register reporting: With the Meldefluss app, cash register reports are transmitted directly to the tax authorities. No extra steps, no risk of missing deadlines.
  
  

• Flexibility for growth: Whether a permanent store, a temporary pop-up, or a trade fair booth, the setup works everywhere. New locations can be added in minutes.
