Pimcore Development
Pimcore development from someone who ran it in production
Pimcore is powerful, but it rewards a clean data model and punishes a messy one. We build custom data models, integrations, and migrations, and fix the performance and structure problems that slow a Pimcore instance down.
Founder-led from Vienna. Four years administering PIM (Pimcore), DAM (Canto), CRM (Dynamics), and multilingual, audited documentation workflows inside a regulated med tech manufacturer. We have lived inside Pimcore day to day, not just read the docs.

Where teams get stuck
Where Pimcore projects get stuck
Most struggling Pimcore instances are not broken software. They are a data model that grew without a plan, plus integrations that were bolted on under deadline pressure.
The data model grew without a plan
Classes, fieldcollections, and object bricks accumulated over time, so editors fight the structure and new requirements are hard to add cleanly.
Integrations are fragile
Connections to the shop, ERP, or channels were built quickly and break when anything changes, leaving someone to patch them by hand.
Performance degrades at scale
As the catalog grows, listings, exports, and the admin UI slow down because queries and indexing were never tuned for the data volume.
No one owns the upgrade path
The instance sits on an old version because upgrades feel risky, so security and feature improvements stall and technical debt compounds.
What works better
What we build and fix
We bring the clean data model and stable integrations that let Pimcore do what it is good at.
Custom data models
We design and refactor classes, data objects, and relations so the model fits the catalog and stays maintainable as it grows.
Integrations and syndication
We build reliable connections to shops, ERPs, channels, and DAM systems, with proper error handling instead of brittle one-off scripts.
Performance and migrations
We tune queries and indexing, and run version migrations and data imports so the instance stays fast and current.

How we work
How a Pimcore engagement runs
From first call to working software, in clear steps with a fixed price after discovery.
Discovery call
approx. 30 to 45 minWe look at your Pimcore instance, the data model, and the integrations, and identify the real bottleneck.
Audit and plan
approx. 1 weekWe review the model, performance, and integrations, then propose a scoped plan with a fixed price.
Build or refactor
approx. 2 to 6 weeksWe implement the data model changes, integrations, or performance work in a staged, tested way.
Handover and docs
approx. 1 weekWe document the changes and onboard your team, or take over ongoing maintenance, whichever fits.
Run and maintain
ongoingWe can host, monitor, and keep the instance upgraded so it stays fast and secure.
Focused Pimcore engagements typically start around €6,000; smaller fixes, integrations, and audits start from about €2,500. Fixed price after the discovery call.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What does Pimcore development cost?
Smaller fixes, integrations, and audits start from about €2,500, while a focused engagement typically starts around €6,000. We give you a fixed price after the discovery call.
How long does a Pimcore project take?
Most data model and integration work lands in two to six weeks, delivered in staged, tested steps. Larger migrations are planned as their own phase.
When does Pimcore make sense versus a custom build?
Pimcore is a strong fit when you manage a real product catalog with many attributes, variants, and assets. For narrow, single-purpose tools, a focused custom build is often simpler and cheaper.
Can you fix an existing Pimcore instance rather than rebuild?
Yes, and that is the common case. We refactor the data model, stabilise the integrations, and tune performance so the existing instance works properly instead of replacing it.
Do we need our own Pimcore developers afterwards?
No. We can host, monitor, and maintain the instance long-term, including upgrades. If you have an internal team, we hand over clean documentation so they can take over.
