Six engagements of Spryker depth. B2B features built in, not bolted on.
Spryker consulting for B2B industry. Audit of existing setups, migration from Hybris or custom build, project rescue for stalled engagements. Tenants, contractually agreed prices, approval paths — Spryker brings them built-in. We earn no license margin from Spryker — if it is not the right path, we say so.
We come into play at three clearly defined points in the Spryker lifecycle. Each occasion with its own output, separately budgetable, stop conditions at the end of each phase. No bundle selling, no delivery obligation.
Vendor-neutral diagnosis. Architecture assessment against your B2B reality, performance profile, custom module inventory, license and ACP sanity check. Core focus: what Spryker actually delivers for you — and what it doesn't. Written findings with a prioritized lever list, no slide decks.
SAP Commerce On-Premise mainstream maintenance ends 31 July 2026. We assess Spryker as a migration path honestly against the alternatives (SFCC, commercetools, SAP Commerce Cloud), design a slice roadmap instead of big bang. Senior sparring in the steering committee plus architectural depth in the code.
Stalled Spryker project. Implementer conflict, steering committee escalation, catalog still not live after months, performance bottleneck under load. We go in, stabilize quickly, hand over cleanly. Spryker-specific rescue, not generic turnaround theater.
Spryker is powerful — and that is exactly what produces recurring stress points in growing B2B industry and supplier setups. Three patterns that come up regularly in our mandates, with the honest ranges from real assessments. No industry study, no vendor whitepaper.
Mid-size Spryker setups with twenty or more custom modules require significant engineering capacity for major version jumps, driven by module version cascades, Symfony and Twig major bumps, and custom plugin drift. Senior guidance doesn't shorten this by magic — it prevents the fourth attempt.
Source: Own mandate intake since 2019 · Experience valueAbove roughly one million SKUs or fifty thousand active B2B customers with individual price lists, the Spryker storage and search stack (Redis, Elasticsearch, Yves) shows reproducible bottlenecks. We read the storage layer first, before touching custom code. Sequence is everything. Typical segment: large mid-market to enterprise subsidiary.
Source: Own mandate intake · Spryker performance practiceDACH industry setups with subsidiaries in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland require clean Spryker store configuration (multi-currency, tax logic, locale routing). Incorrectly initialized in standard implementations, and later the trigger for expensive data migrations. Architecture review before re-implementation is the cheaper path here.

Two senior voices from multi-year Spryker mandates — one on platform depth, one on stakeholder navigation. Both are clients with senior engineering backgrounds and a correspondingly sharp eye.
„Swiss Army knife among developers. Trusted at every level of an organization, from dev team to C-level. Calm, reliable, solution-focused." — Karsten Krause-Ablaß, TOWA
Four years of senior sparring during the build-out and scaling of the Spryker practice, from platform architecture through team scaling into the steering committee. Exactly the bridging capability that decides Spryker mandates between engineering reality and board language.
„Technical depth combined with strategic perspective. Navigation through complex system landscapes and different teams." — Martin Kousek
Complex Spryker program with multiple implementation houses, internal teams, and ERP integration. Architecture depth and stakeholder navigation in one mandate, without team politics, without vendor loyalties.
We build with you, not for you. Engagements are workbenches, not theatre. Delivery in short loops. Clean handover, then your team carries it alone.
Method in detail
25 years in IT, 14 of them in B2B commerce. Architecture mandates with large enterprises, building and steering distributed expert teams, vendor-neutral project rescue. Focus areas: platform architecture, project rescue, team operations.

Anyone who profits from platform delivery cannot audit honestly. We chose against the implementation margin so that your Spryker assessment is based on your B2B reality — not our pipeline. That costs us more. It costs you less.
How we workWhether you're an existing customer under stress, a Hybris migration candidate before the deadline, or currently evaluating platforms — a few minutes on the phone and we'll know if we can help.
