MND Next

What MND Next does

MND Next GmbH is a privately held, founder-managed German digital agency headquartered in Göppingen, founded in 2010, operating with a team of 1-10 employees. The company specializes in planning, building, customizing, and operating e-commerce solutions on the Shopware platform, serving businesses and advertising agencies across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) that require deep technical expertise for business-oriented digital projects. Its service offering includes online shop implementation, Shopware configuration, custom plugin development, hosting and performance optimization, and interface integrations with ERP, PIM, and Warenwirtschaft systems.

The company's product portfolio centers on a proprietary ecosystem of 10+ Shopware plugins distributed through the Shopware Store and its own website, addressing compliance (Cookie Notice with Google Consent Mode v2), marketing attribution (Facebook Pixel with Opt-In/Opt-Out), operational monitoring (Monitoring Basic, Plugin Update Notifications, Monitoring Advanced as a cloud-based service), and shop functionality (AddCharge Manager for deposits/surcharges, Special Character Search). Plugins are typically licensed on annual or monthly subscription models with prices ranging from €8.99/month to €499.99/year. The company holds multiple official Shopware certifications (Certified Developer, Certified Template Developer, Certified Partner, Certified Business Partner) and has been a Shopware Extension Partner since 2015.

Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) professional services from custom Shopware development, hosting, and integration projects sold via direct sales engagements, and (2) recurring subscription revenue from proprietary Shopware plugins distributed through the Shopware Store marketplace. Customers are distributed across SMB and enterprise segments and include named brands such as Advanced Sports, ARS24, Manufaktur Jörg Geiger, EvoBus, Mars, and MagnetShop. The company is exclusively focused on the Shopware platform and exclusively serves the DACH region, with no disclosed geographic expansion, external funding, or acquisition activity. Operating status is active as evidenced by maintained website, blog, and Shopware Store listings.
