What does the partnership with punkt.de mean to you?

We are very happy about this partnership. In our business, these relationships are crucial - as a supplier you need first-class partners, and punkt.de is one of our biggest. We expect a lot from this!

What benefits do you see?

The partnership means that we can learn together and help each other. This is helpful for the further development of our respective businesses. The partnership makes our communication better, we can exchange ideas and always stay in touch. In short, we strengthen each other's work.

What do you think makes Sylius so special?

Sylius is all about flexibility. It's not just an eCommerce platform. You can build anything with it! We give developers a framework. You can create plugins, marketplaces, CMS integration - whatever you want. What's more, Sylius is very simple and straight-forward.

Where do you think webshops and eCommerce are heading? How does Sylius help with this?

Headless commerce is an extremely important trend in eCommerce and we want to be part of it. By separating the front and back ends, a wide variety of devices and systems can be integrated and the user experience improved. Keyword omnichannel. This flexibility is increasingly necessary.

Our aim is to create a platform that can dock onto all trends. That is why we are not at all afraid of new trends and developments: Sylius can handle it. With a headless store, anything can be implemented if you have the ideas and the skills.

Are there any other plans for the future at Sylius?

We have many plans - we are growing. The paid version of Sylius - Sylius plus - is certainly an issue, as it ensures that our customers can sleep soundly thanks to the support and the well thought-out product. We want to strengthen our community, because the open source concept is very important to us.

We also receive excellent feedback, which confirms that we are on the right track. The developers tell us that store development with Sylius is very fast. That our docks are very user-friendly and stable. We are of course very happy about this feedback.

Thank you very much for the interview!
