Modernizing and migrating a German B2B procurement platform in record time for industrial client
byte5 is a specialist in mission-critical web and software development, based in Frankfurt, Germany. With over 20 years of experience, we take pride in identifying world-changing technologies early on and using them to bring ambitious digital visions to life — always with a clear goal: driving our clients’ long-term success.
Our approach starts with a deep understanding of business processes. We translate these into streamlined, digital workflows that save time, reduce costs, and create real value — all while ensuring scalability, performance, and security.
With Medusa, we’ve found the ideal foundation for modern commerce projects. We’re proud to be one of the first Medusa partners in Germany.
From urgent rebuilds to complex B2B setups – our Medusa.js cases show how byte5 delivers scalable commerce solutions under real-world pressure. Each project highlights our ability to turn challenges into high-performing, future-ready platforms.
Lippold, a well-established supplier of industrial components for over 90 years, launched Flixpart to streamline procurement for clients in the industrial sector. But when key team members unexpectedly left, their existing shop infrastructure became unsustainable—putting business continuity at risk.
That’s when byte5 came on board. With no access to the original codebase, our team acted quickly: we analyzed the old system, recovered all accessible data, and rebuilt the entire shop from scratch using Medusa JS as the commerce backend.
A custom data migrator ensured a smooth and secure transfer of users, products, and order history. The shop’s frontend was modernized while staying true to the Lippold brand. Thanks to Medusa’s modular architecture, we delivered a scalable, maintainable, and high-performance solution—fast.
byte5 ensured a smooth relaunch of our shop and helped us avoid operational downtime. Their clarity, prioritization, and solution-oriented mindset made all the difference.Gerrit Lamché
