The Project
When therafundo was established as a spin-off from Buchner, it faced an urgent challenge—launching a fully operational e-commerce platform in just seven weeks. The new therafundo platform had to go live February 1, 2025, to ensure business continuity, as the previous store was no longer available from that date.
SUNZINET stepped in to take on this challenge, bringing expertise in e-commerce, agile project execution, and system integration. We set up a store within the tight schedule. We relied on proven standards to ensure that therafundo didn’t miss out on any sales potential.

The Challenges
- Strict deadline: The new store had to be fully developed, tested, and launched within just seven weeks.
- Ensuring No downtime: The old store was shutting down, and the new one needed to go live without any service interruptions.
- Seamless ERP integration: The store had to be fully connected with Microsoft Business Central for smooth order processing and inventory management.
- Custom feature development on short notice: One of the major last-minute requirements was the implementation of the Wunsch-Terminplaner configurator, a custom-built JavaScript application to enhance customer experience.
- Brand consistency: The new store needed to reflect therafundo’s unique corporate identity while leveraging out-of-the-box Shopware 6 functionalities to meet the tight timeline.
Our Approach
Strategic and agile approach to deliver the project within the limited timeframe
- We developed a fully customized e-commerce platform
The new e-commerce platform was built on Shopware 6, utilizing a pre-designed theme that was customized to match therafundo’s branding.
This approach balanced speed and efficiency, ensuring a visually appealing and user-friendly design while leveraging existing functionalities to accelerate development. - Ensured seamless ERP integration
To ensure seamless ERP integration, SUNZINET collaborated closely with therafundo's partner, to seamlessly integrate the store with Microsoft Business Central.
This integration allowed for real-time synchronization of inventory, order management, and customer data, ensuring operational efficiency from day one.
- Implemented high-performance hosting
High-performance hosting was a key factor in maintaining stability and scalability. SUNZINET partnered with Timme Hosting, a provider specialized in Shopware 6, to guarantee fast load times, reliability, and a seamless shopping experience for customers. - Delivered a custom Wunsch-Terminplaner configurator in record time of 2 weeks to enhance customer experience.
- Integrated marketing automation for future growth
To support future marketing and customer engagement, we integrated marketing automation tools into the store.
This allowed therafundo to automate email marketing, maintain customer relationships, and drive repeat purchases efficiently.
