Shopware Agency · Food & Beverage
Food wholesale is heavily regulated: best-before dates and batches, mandatory labelling, reduced VAT rates and deposits all have to land correctly in the shop. We build Shopware shops that model these rules cleanly – without your team maintaining every detail by hand.
A standard shop knows no reduced VAT rate per product group, no deposit, no batches and no mandatory food-labelling data. In food and beverage wholesale, these are exactly the points where things get serious – legally and logistically – and where generic agencies have to pass.
What matters for Food & Beverage
In food wholesale, the mandatory details decide whether you can sell at all without legal exposure. Allergens, nutrition and origin under food-information law belong cleanly structured on the product, not in a PDF nobody maintains. In the same way, reduced VAT rates per product group and deposits have to land correctly in cart and invoice automatically. We model this logic directly in the data model and ideally pull the details from your ERP or PIM, so your team never maintains anything twice.
Logistics and reordering are not a side issue in the food business. Batches and best-before dates need to be managed by FIFO or FEFO, the cold chain and delivery windows have to fit the order process, and your regular customers order the same packaging units week after week. We model packaging and unit sizes cleanly, from single to case to pallet, and make fast reordering the default. Through the ERP integration we keep prices and stock current instead of pulling them in by CSV at night.
The industry challenges we solve
Batch & best-before management
We connect batch and lot tracking as well as best-before control (FIFO/FEFO) to shop and ERP – so traceability and sell-by sequencing line up.
Allergen & nutrition data (labelling)
We maintain allergens, nutrition values and ingredients per the EU food information regulation (LMIV/FIC) cleanly in shop and PIM, so mandatory details are output correctly and completely per article.
Reduced VAT & deposit
Reduced VAT per product group as well as deposit and returnables are modelled correctly – including one-way/returnable logic in cart and invoice.
Cold chain & delivery windows
We control cold chain, delivery time windows and minimum order values in the order process, so perishable goods ship predictably and correctly.
Packaging & unit sizes
Single, case or pallet: packaging and unit sizes with different prices and quantity tiers are modelled as clean order logic.
Food logic that holds
We know the legal and logistical traps in food and beverage wholesale and model them cleanly in Shopware.
Structured mandatory data
Allergens, nutrition and origin under labelling law sit structured on the product and ideally come straight from your PIM.
Tax & deposit automated
Reduced VAT rates per product group and deposits land correctly in cart and invoice automatically.
Batches & best-before handled
Batch tracking by FIFO or FEFO and best-before logic are modelled directly in the data model, not by workaround.
Real ERP integration
We keep prices, stock and packaging units current through a stable ERP interface instead of a nightly CSV import.
