Germany's banking hub, where Asian food wholesale and restaurant supply concentrate
Frankfurt holds the largest concentration of Chinese food wholesalers and restaurant suppliers in Germany, serving customers across Hesse, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Most still take orders by phone and WeChat and route delivery from a single warehouse. We build ordering, inventory and settlement systems around the way these businesses already work, so existing customers do not need to change how they order.
These are the operating conditions we see in this city, and they decide where the system should start.
Delivery windows are tight and orders arrive in small, frequent batches. A system that only records orders after the fact adds work rather than removing it; ordering, picking and settlement need to run on one record so sales staff can see by the end of the day which customers have not yet confirmed.
German websites must publish a complete Impressum identifying the service provider, and cookie consent must offer refusal as easily as acceptance. Invoices need sequential numbering and auditable VAT breakdowns, with EU intra-community reverse charge noted on the document.
These requirements shape data structures, page behaviour and deployment. Each is confirmed at solution stage; formal legal advice should be confirmed with a local adviser.
The services below have delivery records in this city and follow the same process, with milestones and acceptance items agreed before work starts.
Intra-EU B2B reverse charge, B2C OSS reporting and country-specific mandatory invoice fields are rules that must live in the system; otherwise finance adjusts entries by hand monthly. We configure tax rates, exemptions, languages and numbering rules in the order and invoicing modules, and run validation before each billing run.
The technical baseline for a European site is concrete: Impressum and privacy policy reachable, cookie categories refusable, no silent third-party requests from fonts or maps, and forms stating their processing purpose. We build these as template-level capabilities that new pages inherit, so each new page does not require a fresh audit.
The projects below took place in this city or served clients here, with background, deliverables and outcome stated for each.
Client: Asian food wholesaler in Frankfurt (serving German-speaking restaurant clients)
Restaurants and Asian supermarkets ordered by phone and WeChat, with orders written by hand; next-day deliveries were frequently missed or wrong. Goods carry shelf-life and batch requirements, so near-expiry stock was found by physically searching the warehouse. Sales commission was disconnected from cash collection, and month-end reconciliation consumed days.
Orders moved from paper notes taken by phone to customer self-entry, and missed orders effectively disappeared. Near-expiry stock is flagged in advance, reducing write-offs, and commission no longer depends on manual tallies.
Client: Chinese restaurant group in Paris (four brands, seven locations)
Each of the four brands had a legacy site with inconsistent styling and French content untouched for years. Reservations were taken by phone and could not be handled at lunch peak. Group-level campaigns and new dishes had no consolidated channel.
Brand presentation is consistent and French content is maintained in-house by the group marketing team. Reservations moved online, easing pressure on front desks at lunch, and structured allergen and price data reduced customer enquiries.
Client: Home goods cross-border seller in Amsterdam (pan-European sales)
Marketplace selling was constrained by commissions and rule changes. An independent store was planned but VAT reporting looked complex. Delivery times and return policies differ by country, and customer service gave inconsistent answers. Product pages lacked local language, holding conversion back.
The store captured incremental traffic beyond the marketplace. Tax data exports monthly, so filings no longer require manual assembly, and consistent service answers reduced return disputes.
Our working day overlaps the Frankfurt morning by five to six hours. Requirement reviews are scheduled inside that window, and a written progress note is issued every week so decisions do not wait for the next meeting.
Yes. Product names, invoice fields and interface labels are stored per language, so the warehouse works in Chinese while customer-facing documents are issued in German.
