What detco GmbH does

detco GmbH is a full-service digital agency headquartered in Bremen, Germany, with a secondary office in Hamburg. Founded in 2005 and operating continuously under the same two managing directors, Jens Frischen and Sebastian Constantin, the firm employs 12 people and has completed over 500 digital projects across two decades. It is incorporated as a private GmbH (HRB 35714 HB) with no disclosed external investors or parent company.

The agency delivers four integrated service lines: Konzeption/UX Design (user interface and experience design), Entwicklung (custom software development and system integration), E-Commerce (SEO- and conversion-optimized online shop solutions), and Mobile (native iOS and Android application development). Service delivery is project-based and tailored to each client, with detco positioning itself as a single-vendor partner that covers the full digital value chain from strategy through implementation rather than specializing in a single discipline. The technology stack and underlying platforms are not publicly disclosed beyond the service categories listed on the corporate website.

detco generates revenue exclusively through professional services engagements with B2B clients, primarily large enterprises such as Swiss Life, Daimler, HRS, prizeotel, Oxford, Saas-Fee, and Pax spanning insurance, automotive, travel/hospitality, education, and SaaS verticals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined through direct client consultation on a project basis. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, with direct client engagement through the Bremen and Hamburg offices serving the German-speaking market; there is no self-service, marketplace, or productized distribution channel. Marketing activity is limited to a corporate website (detco.de) and direct outreach, with no published social media presence beyond standard listings.
