On the Jade Bight, three sectors meet in Wilhelmshaven that can barely tolerate downtime. Containers are handled at the JadeWeserPort, energy is landed through the oil port and the LNG terminal, and as a naval base the town attracts technical service providers, repair firms and outfitters. These businesses sell to customers with strict purchasing rules: supplier approvals, framework agreements, orders from procurement systems. For ship chandlers, industrial supplies and technical dealers, a B2B shop is therefore an extension of their own sales team — and has to fit the processes laid down by public-sector clients and major customers.
At the Südstrand, Wilhelmshaven looks entirely different. Tourism, the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site on the doorstep, museums and events bring visitors to the town, and Jade Hochschule brings students and research projects. For hosts, cultural and educational institutions, other things count than at the port: events that an editorial team can add without an agency, content in several languages, accessible pages and technology that does not slow down on sunny weekends. Between these two worlds sits a base of trades, retail and service businesses that serves both groups of customers.
Ship chandlers, industrial supplies, technical wholesale: for businesses like these on the Jade we build B2B shops on Shopware 6 — with customer-specific prices, volume tiers, several buyers per account and approvals before dispatch. If your customer orders from a procurement system, we connect your catalogue via OCI or punch-out; items, stock and orders flow through interfaces to your ERP. We also take over existing shops from other agencies after an inventory. As part of ongoing support we test updates of the 6.7 line on staging, keep plugins and interfaces up to date and respond according to the SLA tier — monthly fee on request.
Events, research projects, exhibitions: wherever many people in Wilhelmshaven maintain content, we use TYPO3, currently on v14 LTS. Calendars, project pages, several languages and graded permissions can be mapped there in a structured way, without every change turning into a ticket for the agency. If your site still runs on v12 or older, free security updates have been missing since the end of April 2026; we plan the upgrade path with a test environment and fixed stages. In ongoing maintenance we check security bulletins on the day they are published and apply patches on staging first, then live.
The A29 runs from our office in Oldenburg straight to the Jade, just under an hour's drive — easy to plan for a morning workshop. Kick-off, requirements gathering and sign-offs take place at your premises by arrangement, whether on an industrial estate by the port or in the town centre. Development, updates and maintenance run remotely, and you check progress on a staging environment. You can reach us Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 16:00 CET, on +49 441 21 21 63 0. On-call cover outside those hours exists only if it is agreed in the SLA.
