Partners

Five partners we build on.

Vehicle data, vehicle marketplace, shop platform, data centre, virtualisation: these partnerships carry our daily work. This page explains what each partner does — and what role we play at their side.

Interface partner

DAT — Deutsche Automobil Treuhand

DAT maintains one of the central databases of the automotive industry: vehicle and equipment data across manufacturers, plus valuation, repair calculation and residual values. Dealers, workshops, assessors and insurers work with this data every day — identifying, valuing or calculating a vehicle in Germany almost always involves DAT.

Our role We are a DAT interface partner: vehicle identification, equipment lists and valuations flow through our integrations directly into dealer systems — instead of being typed in by hand.

Interface partner

mobile.de

mobile.de is Germany's largest vehicle marketplace — and for car dealers the most important digital sales channel. Stock is listed there, buyers ask their first questions there; how fast and how complete a vehicle appears on the platform has a direct effect on the sale.

Our role We are a mobile.de interface partner: vehicle stock moves automatically from dealer systems into the listings, and enquiries and leads flow back in a structured way — no double data entry, no media breaks.

Extension partner

Shopware

Shopware, based in Schöppingen, builds one of the leading e-commerce platforms from Germany: open source, API-first, and particularly strong where B2B requirements come in — customer-specific prices, approval workflows or ERP integration.

Our role We are a Shopware extension partner: our extensions are listed in the official Shopware Store, and we build and run shops on Shopware 6 — from migration to ongoing development.

Infrastructure

Hetzner

Hetzner is one of the large European hosting and data-centre operators — with its own data centres, its own network infrastructure and a campus in Falkenstein that ranks among the most modern in Germany.

Our role Our server environments run on Hetzner infrastructure in Falkenstein: a top-level data centre located in Germany. We set up, operate and monitor these systems ourselves — and our clients’ data stays in Germany.

Partner

Proxmox

Proxmox Server Solutions from Vienna develops open virtualisation and infrastructure software: Proxmox VE for virtual machines and containers, plus Backup Server and Mail Gateway — open source and used in data centres worldwide.

Our role We have worked alongside the Austrian company for more than a decade: we deploy Proxmox solutions for our clients, set them up and maintain them — from a single host to a full environment with a backup strategy.

Why so few?

Partners add strength. Responsibility stays with us.

We deliberately work with a small number of reliable partners: each of these five relationships is part of running projects — none of them is here because a logo looks good. And no matter how many partners a project involves: the contact person, the schedule and the result are our responsibility.
