Individual. ### High-selling platforms for B2B & B2C. ### With Shopware & Shopware Enterprise to your own B2B portal Successful companies from industry, wholesale as well as manufacturers from medium-sized businesses should react to the digitisation of procurement. E-procurement (electronic procurement) is increasingly replacing classic purchasing processes and offers manufacturers as well as retailers great advantages. Modern B2B portals can map complex products that require explanation, offer business customers optimal management of their purchasing processes and ensure that personnel resources are minimised. Our experience from many successfully implemented B2B and B2C online shops as well as our highly qualified software developers ensure custom-fit e-commerce solutions - regardless of the industry. We, as an e-commerce agency, have specialised in the Shopware online shop solution and can map any business model, in any company size. The high degree of adaptability of this e-commerce software and the consistent further development of the system make Shopware 5 and Shopware 6 true online shop all-rounders. Map several shops (e.g. for subcontractors or several brands under a single roof) in just one single installation and manage stock and orders centrally. Or combine B2B and B2C online shops to expand your target group. Shopware can also be used easily to connect any marketplaces, such as Amazon Business, ebay or even price comparison portals to your online shop. Maintain your articles centrally and retrieve orders from only one place (Shopware or, if desired, in your ERP system – for example SAP or Microsoft NAV). ### Process optimisation. Modern electronic procurement. Expansion of the target group. One of our specialities is the interface integration in Shopware, which allows you to connect your existing systems such as ERP, CRM or even your PIM system to your e-commerce platform. This offers you a high level of process control, consistent stock levels and easy administration of orders. For maximum B2B functionality, we recommend Shopware Enterprise. This version offers the most comprehensive range of functions and, with the so-called Enterprise Accelerators, strong and exclusive extensions that provide you with important functions for buyers and business customers. Every project begins with a precise assessment of the online shop requirements. Only when we know these requirements for your e-commerce project can we make recommendations on the right choice of software version, plugins to be used and individual adaptation by our programmers. To be able to guarantee a smooth project flow, we have therefore developed a clearly structured project plan, which has already proven itself very often. Especially for larger and successful companies, the implementation time ("time-to-market") and a quick return on investment (ROI) are important factors. With us as an experienced Shopware partner at your side, you know your project is in the best hands during every project phase. ### Requirements in B2B E-Commerce: Successful with Shopware Enterprise Easy integration into your system architecture (CRM, ERP & PIM) Central control of all sales channels (Amazon, ebay, price comparison portals such as Idealo) High B2B functionality: Control e-procurement with buyers and rights Minimise process costs: Relieve personnel resources by minimising standard requests ### E-commerce development: We develop ourselves. Plugins. Interfaces. Modifications. Unlike many other e-commerce agencies, we do not outsource any work to external service providers. [Our team](https://www.heptacom.de/team/) covers all relevant areas of expertise and enables us to meet timings and individual adjustments to the letter. From the shop conception, the graphic design of your Shopware template(s) (UI / UX design) to the programming of individual functions and adjustments to interfaces and system core, we can implement all project-relevant steps in-house. Our software developers work closely with Shopware and, as part of the developer community, have already been able to contribute to the further development of the Shopware core. Each of our customers and also each business model has unique requirements for the functions of an online shop. Especially in the B2B sector, different rules and requirements apply to an e-commerce system. Whether SAP, Sage, Microsoft Navision (now Microsoft Dynamics NAV) or an individual solution, our programmers can connect practically every conceivable external system to the Shopware API. This comprehensive integration into your system architecture offers you process optimisation, controlling and cost optimisation all in one. Every order and every goods receipt (deliveries and returns) can be processed virtually live and every transaction only has to be processed once. Automated, regular backups are just as self-evident for us as working in a separate staging version of your online shop (this is based on your live system) and a development system (here new programming is tested in the first instance). The security of your e-commerce data and the trouble-free operation of your online shop are our top priority. As active participants in the Alliance for Cyber Security, we also know how to guarantee your IT security, which is particularly important when dealing with sensitive data in e-commerce.

We work with the project management software Jira, which ensures a transparent and structured project process. You get access to your project, see which subtask is already in progress and can consult directly with the respective person in charge and make comments on the implementation if necessary. This transparency is very important to us during implementation, as it supports our agile software development (according to the Scrum principle) and also our resource planning. We use our Confluence knowledge database to internally manage frequently repeated processes and developed basics, which allows us to continuously introduce the entire team to new insights and processes. [Learn more](https://www.heptacom.de/software-entwicklung-prozess/) ## B2C & B2B online shops Shopware stands for modern e-commerce No matter whether you choose Shopware 5, Enterprise or Shopware 6. With the leading German e-commerce software, you are always technologically far ahead. We recommend choosing Shopware 6 for new online shops, as this system is already prepared for future developments in e-commerce. ### The advantages of Shopware at a glance: - Open source software - Regular updates - Easy administration - High shop funktionality - Content maintenance with Shopping Worlds & blog function - Functions modularly expandable through plugins - High scalability through modern software architecture - high security - Agile developer community ![Fabian Ossmann & Vincent Fuhler - Managing Director HEPTACOM GmbH](https://www.heptacom.de/resources/img/team/2020/fabian-vincent-1110x628.jpg)
