What Epartment does

Epartment B.V. is a Dutch e-commerce agency founded in 2012 and headquartered at Prins Bernhard Plantsoen 102 in Hengelo, Netherlands. The company designs and develops integrated Magento/Adobe Commerce webshops and B2B portals for mid-market and enterprise clients generating €5–50 million in annual revenue, spanning verticals such as wholesale, manufacturing, food, fashion, construction, office supplies, workwear, automotive parts, and D2C brands across the Netherlands, Germany, and France.

The core technology stack is Magento 2/Adobe Commerce paired with the Hyvä frontend theme, supported by a Laravel + Vue.js team and two proprietary SaaS products. Conneqt is an iPaaS integration platform developed over 10+ years that connects Magento webshops to ERP systems (SAP Business One, Oracle Netsuite, Exact Online, Unit4, Visma, Infor LN) and PIM systems (Akeneo), synchronizing orders, inventory, pricing, customers, and product data in real time. Corebox is managed Magento hosting on European infrastructure with automated backups, caching, 24/7 monitoring, and real-time deployments. The Hyvä B2B Suite layers 35+ purpose-built B2B features (OCI/cXML punchout, KMS clothing management, quickorder/CSV upload, customer-specific pricing, multi-store setups with up to 17+ shops in single installations) on top of the high-performance Hyvä frontend.

The business model combines project-based fixed-fee professional services for custom e-commerce delivery with recurring subscription revenue from Conneqt and Corebox. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with Maarten Nijland (Director & Sales) leading outreach. Marketing relies primarily on content (case studies, blog), organic social, SEO, and developer community (GitHub), rather than paid acquisition. Epartment is privately held with no disclosed external funding, investors, or revenue figures, and operates as an independent entity with Hyvä Silver Partner, Conneqt Gold Partner, and Adobe/Magento certification credentials anchoring its market positioning.
