What +Pluswerk does

+Pluswerk AG is a full-service digital agency headquartered in Munich, Germany, operating as a network of ten wholly-owned partner companies across Germany, Austria, Poland, and Romania. Founded in 2015, the company employs 160 experts and serves more than 1,000 customers, ranging from mid-market and enterprise clients to universities and public-sector institutions. The core technology stack is built on three open-source platforms — TYPO3 (enterprise content management), Pimcore (product information, master data, and digital asset management), and Shopware (e-commerce) — over which +Pluswerk offers strategy, UX/UI design, web development, online marketing, analytics, accessibility (WCAG 2.2), cloud hosting, and AI readiness services.

The company monetizes primarily through project-based digital transformation engagements billed via custom quotes, hourly consulting, and retainer arrangements, supplemented by recurring managed-services and cloud hosting contracts (delivered through its mobilistics GmbH subsidiary). Distribution is consultative and direct, targeting enterprise and public-sector buyers across DACH and Central/Eastern Europe, with demand generation supported by deep involvement in the TYPO3 and Pimcore open-source communities, an annual +Pluscamp event, and thought-leadership content. Leadership consists of CEO Jens Krumm and Supervisory Board Chairman Hans-Jörg Raphael (founder of network partner raphael GmbH).

+Pluswerk holds Platinum partnership status with the TYPO3 Association and Pimcore, is a certified Shopware partner, and has won multiple industry awards including the T3Awards 2025 (Culture), TYPO3 Award 2024 (Health), and German Design Award 2024. Recent strategic moves include the 2024 acquisitions of Polish AI/Pimcore specialist LemonMind and Viennese accessibility specialist Earlybird GmbH, plus the launch of dedicated industry verticals such as a PET and packaging compliance practice.
