Interface Medien

What Interface Medien does

Interface Medien GmbH is a privately-held German digital agency and software company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Münster, Germany. The company operates a hybrid business model combining digital consulting, proprietary software development, and marketing services, serving roughly 380 active customers across the DACH region with a team of approximately 34-40 employees. Its named enterprise clients span diverse industries — manufacturing (Aerzener Maschinenfabrik, Busch-Jaeger, Kochs), logistics (DPD), energy (Westfalen AG), lighting (MA Lighting, BJB, Lightpower), food and beverage (Mövenpick, Vossko, Teutoburger Ölmühle), healthcare (Bodenseeklinik, Nürnberger Klinik, Intermed), telecommunications (Deutsche Glasfaser), and retail/health (Kräuterhaus Sanct Bernhard) — with 688 completed projects over 26 years of operation.

The company's core technology is ibase3, a proprietary modular platform developed in-house since 1999 that functions as a CMS, e-commerce engine, and web application framework. The platform comprises the ibase3 Website/CMS module, the ibase Shop B2C module (with personalization, intelligent product recommendations, and review management), and the ibase Shop B2B module (with customer-specific pricing, approval workflows, multi-user capability, and ERP integration). In 2025, the platform was augmented with AI-base, an integrated AI module providing automated text creation, image generation, translation, analysis, and AI-powered customer communication. The company also co-developed the Praxismanager practice management software with claysen.com for the healthcare vertical. The platform integrates with ERP systems, PayPal, Payone, FACTFinder, TYPO3, and Shopware.

Interface Medien generates revenue through a mix of professional services (consulting and marketing engagements), software licensing and implementation (ibase3), and a recently introduced success-based compensation model where fees are tied to client outcomes. GTM is sales-led with direct enterprise engagement through dedicated account managers. The company's most recent strategic initiative is KI CREW, a dedicated AI service sub-brand offering masterclasses, bootcamps, consulting, and custom AI engineering. The company holds Google Premium Partner status, is GDPR-compliant, and has 26 team certifications across technologies.
