What NETFORMIC does

NETFORMIC is a Stuttgart-headquartered, owner-managed digital commerce agency founded in 2002 that implements and customizes e-commerce, PIM (Product Information Management), DAM (Digital Asset Management), CRM, and ERP platforms for mid-market and enterprise clients. The company delivers platform-agnostic implementation services across Pimcore, Shopify Plus, Shopware, Magento/Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, Perfion, HubSpot, Xentral, Atamya, and Dotdigital, with Platinum-tier partner status at Pimcore and Shopware and exclusive North American rights for Perfion. Its portfolio spans B2B, B2C, and D2C commerce; core service lines include B2C/D2C E-Commerce, B2B E-Commerce, PIM DAM, Marketplace, Onpage Search, CRM, and the recently introduced AI First Commerce offering. Customer cohorts sit primarily in manufacturing, consumer brands, food & beverage, and distribution, with secondary practice in professional sports and cooperatives.

The firm runs a project-based professional services model: engagements are quoted per project (fixed price or time-and-materials, typically multi-year contracts) and supplemented by ongoing support and optimization work that drives the disclosed 70% existing-customer revenue share. Delivery relies on a bench of 60-70 employees including 10 certified Shopify Plus experts and senior platform architects; go-to-market is consultative and event-led, anchored by a free Shopify Plus Discovery Workshop (normally valued at €3,200), active participation in 2026 industry events (Shopify.dev Editions, Champions of Manufacturing, Pimcore Inspire), thought-leadership content, and partner referrals. NETFORMIC operates from four offices — Stuttgart (HQ), Hamburg, and Munich in Germany, plus New York and Houston in the United States — and is fully integrated into the DNA Digital Native Alliance, alongside sister agencies klickpiloten (digital marketing) and orkaya (product development). The firm is privately held with no external investment disclosed; co-founder Timo Weltner serves as CEO.
