Shopware for mechanical engineering& industrial wholesale

Wholesalers in mechanical engineering don't sell standard articles: configurable products, spare-part catalogues and negotiated prices sit directly on the ERP. We build and migrate Shopware shops that model exactly this reality – with real ERP integration instead of CSV imports.

A mechanical engineering wholesaler needs more than a cart: materials and dimensions as variants, part numbers with exploded views, customer-specific prices from the ERP and approval workflows for procurement. Bolt that onto a B2C shop and every special case becomes a plugin patchwork – and the ERP integration a permanent construction site.

Every material and dimension combination ends up as a separate article, not a variant.

You maintain customer prices twice: once in the ERP, once in the shop.

Nobody finds a spare part without an exploded view and part number.

Your customer's procurement wants to order via punch-out, your shop can't.

What matters for Mechanical Engineering & Wholesale

In mechanical engineering wholesale everything rises or falls with the ERP integration. Customer-specific prices, framework contracts and live stock must not be re-keyed in the shop – they have to come straight from the leading system, in real time or batch. We build these interfaces with monitoring and retry logic so a negotiated condition never sits stale in the cart. Which ERP you run and how your pricing logic is structured, we clarify before the first line of code.

Configurable products are the second hurdle: materials, dimensions and finishes belong in the system as clean variants, not hundreds of separate articles. Just as important are spare-part catalogues with part numbers, technical datasheets and exploded views that help your customer find the right part with confidence. Master data and classification ideally come from a PIM, not from manual maintenance. And anyone serving industrial customers needs OCI/punch-out to their procurement systems – we plan for that from the start.

The industry challenges we solve

Configurable products & variants

Technical attributes, dimensions and materials as a clean variant structure – instead of thousands of single articles. We also connect complex product configurators to Shopware.

Deep ERP integration

Connect Shopware bidirectionally to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, proALPHA or abas: stock, prices and orders stay in sync – with monitoring and retry logic instead of nightly CSV imports.

Customer-specific prices & framework contracts

Tiered prices, negotiated terms, framework contracts and budget/approval workflows are modelled via the Shopware B2B Suite and custom logic – in real time from the ERP.

Spare-part catalogues & reordering

Long part numbers, exploded views, CAD data and reorder lists: we make the spare-part catalogue searchable and reorderable – including search across article and cross-reference numbers.

OCI/punch-out to procurement systems

Via OCI and cXML punch-out your shop becomes orderable inside your customers' procurement systems (SAP Ariba, Coupa & co.) – cart handover and return included.

Migration with validated data transfer

We migrate grown legacy shops to Shopware 6 in clear phases: price lists, customer accounts and order history are reconciled against the real dataset before cutover, with a 301 concept and cutover monitoring.

Industrial wholesale is our turf

We know wholesale catalogues, ERP interfaces and punch-out from real projects – and we talk to you as engineers, not as sales.

  1. Real ERP integration

    We build interfaces with monitoring and retry logic instead of CSV imports. Prices and stock come straight from your leading system.

  2. Variants, not sprawl

    We model materials, dimensions and finishes as clean variants. Your assortment stays maintainable, not hundreds of separate articles.

  3. Spare parts people can find

    Part numbers, datasheets and exploded views guide your customer to the right part – including easy reordering.

  4. Punch-out as standard

    OCI and cXML to your industrial customers' procurement systems are standard with us, not a later retrofit.

Frequently asked questions

Which Shopware agency helps mechanical engineering wholesalers with migration and ERP integration?
An agency experienced in Shopware B2B and ERP interfaces. We migrate grown wholesale shops to Shopware 6 and connect SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, proALPHA or abas bidirectionally – stock, prices and orders stay in sync, including customer-specific prices and punch-out.
Which ERP systems do you connect to Shopware in mechanical engineering?
Among others SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, proALPHA and abas. The connection is bidirectional: articles, stock, customer-specific prices and orders are synchronised – in real time or as a robust batch job, each with monitoring and a retry strategy.
How does Shopware handle configurable products and variants?
We model technical attributes, dimensions and materials as a variant structure rather than single articles. For complex configurations we connect product configurators so customers can assemble valid variants and order them directly.
Can Shopware model spare-part catalogues with part numbers and exploded views?
Yes. Long part numbers, exploded views, CAD data and reorder lists can be modelled in Shopware. Search works across article, OE and cross-reference numbers, so technicians quickly find and reorder the right spare part.
Do you support OCI/punch-out for industrial procurement?
Yes. Via OCI and cXML punch-out we make your shop orderable inside your customers' procurement systems – such as SAP Ariba or Coupa. Cart handover and return to the customer system are included.
How safely can a grown Shopware 5 or legacy shop be migrated?
We migrate in clearly separated phases with validated data migration: price lists, customer accounts, order history and media are transferred and reconciled against your real data before cutover. A 301 redirect concept and cutover monitoring add further safeguards to the replatforming.
