Directly on the A1 between Bremen and Osnabrück lies Wildeshausen, the district town of the Landkreis Oldenburg. That location explains a lot about the businesses here: food producers and processors from the agricultural surroundings, logistics firms that use the motorway, and mid-sized companies that mostly supply business customers. For their web presence, that rarely means an image brochure. What is needed are product data, ordering routes, certificates and contacts that are quick to find — and systems that talk to merchandise management and ERP instead of having data typed in by hand.
Food businesses around Wildeshausen mostly sell online to business customers: restaurants and caterers, retailers, institutional kitchens. Shopware 6 handles pack sizes, customer-specific prices, volume tiers and delivery days; master data and stock come from the ERP through an interface. If your buyers order through their own procurement systems, we connect the catalogue via OCI or punch-out, and a B2C area for consumers can run in the same system. After launch we read the logs, monitor overnight imports, the message queue and scheduled tasks, and apply patch releases only after testing on staging. If you depend on a steady flow of orders, agree an SLA with a 4- or 2-hour response time in your maintenance contract.
Where content grows and several people maintain it, TYPO3 is the right basis in Wildeshausen: a mid-sized manufacturer with product ranges in several languages and its own careers section, organisations and associations around the district town, companies whose certificates and data sheets must always be current. New sites are built on TYPO3 v14 LTS. Existing installations we bring up to date along an upgrade path — with an extension audit, a test instance and a switch-over only after testing. In ongoing maintenance we assess security bulletins on the day they appear, updates go live via staging, and we test backups for restorability, not just for existence.
Wildeshausen is also a place people visit. The Wildeshauser Geest nature park, the megalithic tombs in the surrounding countryside and the river Hunte bring cyclists, walkers and day visitors to the town — and with them hosts, farm shops and leisure businesses that want to be found online. Their websites need events, opening hours and offers that can be updated without an agency. For a farm shop with twenty products Shopware is often oversized; in that case we say so and recommend something smaller. Where bookings or purchases happen online, Germany's Accessibility Strengthening Act may apply since June 2025 — we build accessibility into the templates rather than patching over it later.
From our office in Oldenburg to Wildeshausen is around 30 minutes. That is why we are happy to hold workshops, concept meetings and editor training at your premises, and kick-off and acceptance too — as agreed, at short notice if needed. The actual development and ongoing support we handle remotely: fixed contacts, documented tasks in the ticket system, short video calls instead of long journeys. You can reach us by phone on +49 441 21 21 63 0, Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 16:00 CET. Hosting runs on our own servers in Germany, with a separate environment per project and daily backups.
