Shopware and TYPO3 for Hamburg businesses: specialised, with operations and an SLA

Sharpness Solutions GmbH from Oldenburg builds and supports Shopware shops and TYPO3 websites for retailers, wholesalers, associations and institutions in Hamburg — organised remotely, with a maintenance contract and agreed response times. Hamburg is around two hours' drive away, and we come whenever an on-site meeting moves the project forward.

Hamburg has no shortage of agencies, and an agency from Oldenburg cannot compete on proximity. It can, however, answer with specialisation. Hamburg's economy is shaped by trade — wholesale and foreign trade, mail order, brand manufacturers — plus the port, logistics and aviation. Many of these companies sell through shops that are far from new: Shopware installations that have grown over time, with lots of plugins, ERP interfaces and an agency that has since moved on to other priorities. That is exactly where our strength lies: Shopware and TYPO3 down to the code, build and operation from one team, since 1999.

The second large group in Hamburg is organisations with a lot of content: associations, foundations, universities, cultural and media houses and shipping companies with international clients. TYPO3 is common here, often with several websites and languages in one installation and editorial teams spread across departments. These sites have grown over years, and with the end of free support for TYPO3 v12 in April 2026, installations on v12 and older face an upgrade nobody should postpone any longer. If you are looking for an agency that masters TYPO3 at code level and takes over maintenance afterwards, you do not have to look in your own neighbourhood.

As a Shopware Extension Partner with our own extensions in the Shopware Store, we build B2C and B2B shops on Shopware 6: pricing logic from the ERP, customer hierarchies, approval workflows, OCI and punch-out for major customers. For Hamburg retailers still selling on Shopware 5 — without maintenance since July 2024 — we plan the migration as a rebuild with data transfer and a redirect concept, so that rankings survive the switch. We take over existing shops after an inventory, even without documentation. Support afterwards is set out in the contract: updates of the 6.7 line tested on staging, plugin landscape kept up to date, response time under an SLA with four tiers from 24 to 2 hours.

For associations with regional branches, foundations with several projects or shipping companies with an English-language main site, we build portals on TYPO3 v14 LTS — with a permissions concept, multilingual content and accessible templates to WCAG 2.2 AA. For existing installations we start with an inventory of extensions and custom code; from that we derive an upgrade path with a test environment, from v12 via v13 to v14. If your current Hamburg agency no longer supports TYPO3, we take over maintenance: security bulletins checked on the day of publication, patches applied on staging first, then live, PHP and backups kept in view.

Our only location is Oldenburg, around two hours from Hamburg — there is no office on the Elbe, and we do not pretend otherwise. Collaboration runs mostly remotely: video calls, ticket system, staging environment, named contacts. For a kick-off or a workshop we come to Hamburg by arrangement; updates and faults need no travel. In return you work directly with the developers who build and run your system. Questions reach the team directly on +49 441 21 21 63 0, Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 16:00 CET.

Frequently asked questions

Will you take over Shopware support for a Hamburg shop that another agency built?

Yes, that is one of the most common ways clients come to us. We start with a free initial assessment of version, plugins and hosting; if you wish, a findings report follows at a fixed price stated in writing beforehand, and it is yours even if you decide differently afterwards. We then take over maintenance and further development under an SLA.

Our TYPO3 website in Hamburg runs on v12 — how urgent is the upgrade?

Urgent, because there have been no free security updates for v12 since 30 April 2026. The documented route goes via v13 to v14 LTS; how much work it involves is shown by the extension analysis beforehand. Until the cut-over your site runs unchanged, and testing happens in a separate environment.

Why should a Hamburg company work with an agency from Oldenburg?

Because with Shopware and TYPO3, specialisation and support after launch count for more than travel time. You get developers who are responsible for build, hosting and maintenance themselves, binding SLA tiers and a team that has been building PHP systems since 1999. For on-site meetings we come to Hamburg by arrangement, around two hours' drive.
