References: Over 50 B2B E-Commerce Projects

Every B2B project is different, but the technical challenges can be grouped into recurring competence areas. In each of these areas, we have accumulated experience over the years and developed proven solution approaches that we adapt to the individual requirements of our clients.

The following scenarios describe typical starting situations that companies bring to us. They illustrate the types of challenges we regularly solve, without referencing specific client projects.

Our methodology follows a structured process that we have refined over the years. Each phase delivers documented results and clear milestones. Strategic consulting is not a one-time preliminary step but accompanies the entire project.

Our B2B e-commerce experience spans various industries. Each industry brings its own requirements for ordering processes, product data, pricing structures and regulatory compliance. This cross-industry knowledge flows into every new project.

Our technical competence is based on a clearly defined technology stack. We deliberately choose open-source technologies that offer long-term independence, full control over source code and access to a large developer ecosystem.

97 percent (project experience) of our clients renew their maintenance contracts. We consider this the strongest quality signal, because it means our work convinces in ongoing operations, not just during project presentations. Some client relationships span over five years and encompass multiple development phases, relaunches and functional extensions.

The quality of our project work shows in the first twelve months after go-live: how stable does the system run under real load? How often do unforeseen problems occur? How quickly can new requirements be implemented? Across 50+ B2B projects, we have established quality processes that answer these questions positively. Every interface development is secured by automated tests: unit tests for individual functions, integration tests for system interplay and load tests for validation under production conditions. Code reviews following the four-eyes principle ensure that no unclean solutions reach production.

Documentation is particularly important. Every project delivers complete interface documentation: API specifications, mapping matrices between ERP and shop fields, architecture diagrams and operations handbooks. This documentation is not supplementary but business-critical: it enables your internal team to understand processes and ensures that knowledge is preserved even after personnel changes on either side. Our clients regularly report that this documentation quality is a key differentiator from previous service providers.

In B2B e-commerce, we combine specialization in Shopware Community Edition with broad integration competence. On the shop side, we develop custom plugins for customer-specific price lists, volume pricing, minimum order quantities and role-based access control. Our plugins leverage Shopware's API-first architecture and are prepared for headless scenarios. On the integration side, we master bidirectional synchronization with SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, DATEV and industry-specific ERP systems. Connection is established via REST APIs, message queues and dedicated middleware layers that ensure fault tolerance and data integrity.

Beyond that, we have extensive experience in B2B portal development: self-service portals with individual catalog views, order history, quote management and digital order approval. These portals relieve inside sales, accelerate the ordering cycle and provide your customers with 24/7 account access. Technical implementation is performant and scalable, ensuring that even catalogs with over 200,000 articles remain navigable.

After go-live, the collaboration does not end; it enters a new phase. Quarterly reviews analyze shop performance, identify optimization potential and plan next development steps. Our managed service packages from 249 € per month net include proactive monitoring, security updates, performance oversight and defined response times. This way your B2B shop grows with your business without requiring you to build your own technical department.

B2B projects are team projects. They involve your IT department, ERP consulting, sales, procurement and potentially additional service providers. In these constellations, we take on technical project coordination and ensure all participants have the same information level. Two-week sprints with defined deliverables and reviews create transparency about progress. Every technical decision is documented and communicated. This structured approach reduces misunderstandings, keeps the project on budget and leads to a go-live without unpleasant surprises.

Our office in Söhlde near Hildesheim enables personal meetings in the Hanover-Hildesheim region. For clients outside Lower Saxony, we work fully remotely with video conferences, shared project boards and structured status reports. Collaboration quality does not depend on location but on clear processes, honest communication and a team that understands the complexity of your B2B requirements. In our initial consultations, we take the time to understand your business processes before discussing technology. Because the best Shopware implementation is useless if it does not fit your actual workflows.

B2B shops process business-critical data: customer-specific prices, contract terms, order histories and sometimes technical specifications subject to competitive protection. Security requirements for a B2B shop are therefore higher than in the B2C sector. Our security strategy encompasses GDPR-compliant data processing, GoBD-compliant archiving of order transactions, role-based access control with audit trail and regular security audits of the Shopware installation. Beyond that, we implement industry-specific regulations: export compliance checks for internationally trading companies, age verification for regulated products and industry-specific documentation requirements. This security and compliance competence complements our technical expertise and ensures your B2B shop is operated not only functionally but also legally securely.

Every B2B project follows a proven process that minimizes the risk of misdevelopment and delivers transparent results. The requirements analysis at the beginning identifies business goals, technical framework conditions and success criteria. Building on this, we create a detailed specification that serves as the binding foundation for development. Implementation proceeds in two-week sprints with defined deliverables and reviews. After each sprint, you see working results on the staging environment and can adjust priorities and scope. Integration and load tests under realistic conditions validate the solution before go-live. A two-week hypercare phase with heightened monitoring and fast response to unforeseen situations rounds out the project.

This transparent project approach is why our B2B projects are completed on time and on budget. No surprises at go-live, no hidden costs and no technical debt requiring expensive rework in the first months after launch.
