What Provitex does

Provitex GmbH is a privately held German full-service digital agency founded in 2009 and headquartered in Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg. The firm employs 11–50 people and operates as a Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH), managed by Stefan Schmitt and Jan Schulz. Its offering spans web development, e-commerce implementation, online marketing, digital strategy consulting, ERP onboarding, and proprietary hosting, marketed to B2B clients in the DACH region.

The agency's technology stack centers on two platform specialties: Shopware for e-commerce and TYPO3 for content management, supplemented by Pickware (Shopware-native WMS) and weclapp (cloud ERP) for back-office integration. Technical capabilities include multilingual TYPO3 implementations, Apache Solr-powered product search, complex product data migrations, and custom API integrations (Chargebee, Sendinblue, Mollie). A proprietary TYPO3 staging/rollout extension has been developed. Provitex holds partner status with Shopware, weclapp (Silver), Google, Pickware, the TYPO3 Association, and Adobe.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services engagements and ongoing retainer arrangements, with an additional stream from reselling Shopware, Pickware, and weclapp licenses as an implementation partner. Pricing is quote-driven with no public rates; engagements are scoped individually. Customer references span B2B industrial manufacturing (Ernst Wagner), mid-market retail (Dreams4Kids, Tantal GmbH / taleoo), software/SaaS (TDM Systems), healthcare education (MSH Medical School Hamburg), and public sector (KVBW, THW Bundesvereinigung). Geographic scope is concentrated in Germany with stated DACH market reach.
