What Wamoco does

Wamoco GmbH is a Bremen, Germany-based e-commerce agency founded in 2018 and owner-operated by brothers Thomas and Christian von Gostomski. The firm specializes in Magento 2 and Hyvä implementations for small and medium-sized enterprises across the DACH region, employing 15 people. Its service portfolio spans custom Magento development, Hyvä migrations, hosting and infrastructure, ongoing support, integrations, SEO, and a recently introduced Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) service. Notable clients include Degussa Goldhandel (gold trading), Campuspoint (a 15+ year relationship), and Störtebeker Braumanufaktur (brewery).

The technical stack is anchored in the Magento 2 / Hyvä ecosystem, with the team holding Hyvä Silver Partner and Maxcluster Gold Partner certifications. Capabilities are demonstrated through complex engagements such as the rescue and rebuild of Degussa Goldhandel's e-commerce platform (2020-2021) and the development of a custom B2B module for Störtebeker Braumanufaktur in 2024. The firm has also built proprietary internal tooling, including Wamoco-KI (an internal knowledge base) and Preiswatch (a price-monitoring solution), and has formed integrations partnerships with Doofinder, Mollie, and Avanta to extend the commerce stack offered to clients. The Hyvä Commerce Suite is positioned as an integrated bundled implementation.

The business model combines fixed-price subscription support contracts with project-based development engagements, generating revenue through both recurring and transactional streams. Distribution is relationship-driven and partner-channel-enabled rather than driven by traditional performance marketing; clients are acquired through referrals and partner recommendations. Pricing transparency is signaled by an online pricing calculator. The firm positions itself as a boutique alternative to larger Magento agencies, emphasizing direct founder involvement, deep platform expertise, and long-term client partnerships rather than scale-driven delivery.
