Our Shopware consulting services at a glance

Are you wondering whether Shopware really suits your company? Or are you already working with it, but are constantly coming up against limits - be it due to an inflexible system, technical hurdles or a Shopware agency that doesn't understand your goals?

That's exactly where we come in. As experienced Shopware consultants, we analyse your situation, scrutinise existing processes and develop solutions that can do more than just the bare minimum. Whether strategic consulting, technical implementation or training your team - we bring structure to complex projects and turn Shopware into a real success factor.

System selection & decision-making

Are you wondering whether Shopware is the right platform for your business model? We can help you find out exactly that – based on technical requirements, economic conditions, and your long-term goals.
We compare alternatives, evaluate scalability, integrations, and team structures – and give you a sound basis for decision-making that is based on experience rather than gut feeling.

Shopware configuration & setup

A cleanly set up shop is the foundation for sustainable success. We advise you on the optimal technical setup – whether for your first go-live or the relaunch of an existing shop. We take performance, scalability, interfaces, hosting, and future requirements into account.
Upon request, we can also implement the configuration directly for you – quickly, cleanly, and precisely tailored to your processes.

Shop analysis & performance check

We analyze your shop on a technical, strategic, and UX level—in detail and based on data. In doing so, we identify weaknesses in loading times, infrastructure, usability, or conversion paths and highlight specific areas for optimization.
The goal is a shop that not only looks good but also performs reliably—fast, stable, and measurably successful.

In-house consulting & team support

Your shop is run in-house, but you lack expertise, structure, or a sparring partner? We support your team exactly where it is needed: with technical training for developers, strategic consulting for project managers, and practical input for marketing and e-commerce management.
We are also happy to come directly to your location.

Advice on individual requirements

Do you have a topic that doesn't fit into any standard package? We advise on specific challenges – whether it's complex interface logic, individual process requirements, data architecture, or organizational issues.
Our strength lies in bringing together technical and business perspectives – always with an eye on your reality.

AI & Automation with Shopware

With the right setup, AI can do more than just speed up processes. We advise you on how intelligent automation can not only save you time and money, but also offer your customers a more personalized shopping experience.
From product recommendations to content generation—your administrators benefit, and so do your users. The key is to get the interfaces, data, and processes right. We show you how.

Customised solutions instead of standard packages

Standard solutions won't get you anywhere when things get complex. We develop Shopware concepts that are orientated towards your processes - whether B2B, B2C or D2C. Clear, solution-orientated and to the point.

We know the requirements in B2B, B2C and D2C - and know what is important in each of these worlds. From the initial idea to long-term scaling: we advise, plan, develop and support - always with your goals and budget in mind.

When a Shopware consultation really pays off.

Wrong decisions in e-commerce are expensive - and often avoidable. Sound advice saves more money, time and nerves in the long term than it costs.

Consulting saves more money than it costs.

Bad decisions in e-commerce are costly. We help you use your budget wisely and show you where you can save money without compromising on quality.

No time for experiments? Neither do we.

Our expertise from over 600 projects saves you time-consuming detours and wrong decisions that can prove very costly later on.

We evaluate your ideas.

Not everything that is feasible is also sensible. We evaluate your ideas realistically and show you how they can be turned into a viable concept.

Goals become reality.

Do you know where you want to go? We help you translate your vision into concrete requirements and next steps, without empty buzzwords.

Good advice does not start with the solution, but with understanding.

This is how Shopware consulting works.

Our consulting process is structured, efficient and customised to your situation. Clear process, clear communication, measurable results.

  • 01 - Initial contact & needs assessment

    In an initial consultation, we get to know each other and clarify your goals, requirements, and current situation. Based on this, we develop an initial, rough consulting concept.

  • 02 - Analysis & individual offer

    We work with you to analyze your situation in detail in workshops or one-on-one meetings. This results in a tailor-made offer—transparent, realistic, and aligned with your goals.

  • 03 - Consulting & implementation steps

    Once the offer has been approved, we begin the consultation process. Depending on your needs, we provide strategic recommendations, technical assessments, concept development, or in-house support.

  • 04 - Handover & further support

    Finally, we provide you with all the results in a structured format. Once the consulting process is complete, you will receive all the results documented in a structured manner. If required, we will continue to support you—operationally, technically, or strategically.

  • 05 - Implementation & further development

    If you wish, we can also support you beyond the consultation phase—operationally, technically, and with an experienced implementation team. Whether it's Shopware migration, relaunch, or complete shop setup: we don't just create concepts, we also implement them.

    This is what successful Shopware consulting looks like

    With our Shopware consulting, we support companies in implementing new business models, optimising existing structures or successfully mastering complex migrations. Every case shows: With a clear view, sound analyses and technical excellence, even difficult e-commerce challenges can be solved.

      Any questions? - FAQ

      When does Shopware Consulting make sense?

      Whenever you want to make well-founded decisions - be it when entering e-commerce, changing systems, during ongoing operations or if you are dissatisfied with previous results. Good advice saves time and money and prevents you from making the wrong technical decisions.
      Our consulting services cover both technical and strategic topics: System selection, architecture consulting, performance optimisation, interfaces, UX, hosting, processes and team structure - we also advise on economic aspects such as funding opportunities, classic process automation and the targeted use of artificial intelligence.
      In an initial discussion, we clarify your goals and the current status. This is followed by a detailed analysis of your requirements. On this basis, we develop a customised concept and support you during implementation - with workshops, specific recommendations for action or operational support.
      You receive all the results of our consultation documented, including clear recommendations and next steps. If you wish, we can continue to support you after the consultation with the technical implementation, with training for your team or as a long-term strategic partner.
      The duration of the consultation depends on the scope and complexity of your project. For smaller issues, a consultation can be completed after just a few days. More extensive projects, such as system changes, strategic realignment or far-reaching process optimisation, require several weeks. In any case, we define the time frame transparently and realistically at the beginning so that you can plan clearly.
      As with the duration of the Shopware consultation, the costs depend entirely on the scope and depth of the consultation. You will of course receive a detailed quotation in advance. In many cases, we also support you in applying for funding to reduce the financial burden.
