Existing maintenance clients should use the communication channels defined in their contract so we can document and track every case.
What to Tell Us in the Initial Conversation
The free initial consultation is most productive when you provide us with some information about your project in advance. Finished documents are not required, but a rough overview helps us conduct the conversation purposefully.
Platform and Hosting
Which system do you use (Shopware, WordPress, other)? Where is your shop hosted? Do you have access to the server and the CMS backend?
Current State
Are you aware of security issues, performance problems or pending updates? Have there been outages or security incidents in the past?
Goals and Expectations
What should maintenance primarily achieve: improve security, boost performance, prevent outages or all of the above? What response times do you expect?
Scope and Complexity
How many plugins or extensions are installed? Are there custom modifications? How large is the product catalog or the website?
Previous Support
Who has maintained the shop so far: in-house, an agency or no one? Is there a handover or documentation from the predecessor?
Timeline
Is it urgent, for example after a security incident? Or are you planning an orderly transition? Both are possible and influence the onboarding process.
What Happens After You Reach Out
From your first message to an active maintenance contract, you follow a structured three-step process. It gives you planning certainty and allows us to properly assess your project from the very beginning — without you committing to anything in advance.
Inquiry and Confirmation of Receipt
You submit the form or call us. Within minutes you receive an automatic confirmation of receipt, a maintenance specialist reviews your details and gets back to you personally within 24 hours on business days. For emergencies, intake starts immediately — by phone at +49 5123 9579000.

Confidentiality and Data Protection
We understand that information about your shop is sensitive. Details about systems in use, known vulnerabilities, hosting configurations and planned investments are treated strictly confidentially — even if you decide against a collaboration after the initial conversation. Your data is used exclusively for processing your inquiry: no disclosure to third parties, no use for marketing purposes and no storage beyond the processing period. Our communication infrastructure meets the requirements of the GDPR, and your inquiry is processed on servers in German data centers. This discretion forms the foundation for an open initial conversation in which you can describe your situation without reservations.
Why a Personal Conversation Makes the Difference
Maintenance is not a standard service that can be configured via a web form. Every shop has individual requirements, a different plugin landscape, different business cycles and different priorities. In the personal initial consultation, we take the time to understand these specifics. We ask about your previous experiences with maintenance, about concrete problems you have had in the past and about your expectations of a maintenance partner. Based on this information, we can create an offer that truly fits your project.
At the same time, the initial consultation gives you the opportunity to get to know us and assess whether the collaboration works on a personal and professional level. Maintenance is a long-term partnership, and the chemistry between the parties involved plays an important role. We value direct, straightforward communication without excessive jargon and without glossing over problems. If we think a measure is not worthwhile, we say so openly. And if a problem is urgent, we act first and clarify the details afterward.
Typical Inquiries We Receive
The inquiries that reach us fall into four categories — and there is a proven starting point for each. Regardless of the category, every collaboration begins with the same step: a personal conversation.
Takeovers
Your previous agency can no longer or will no longer provide maintenance? After a technical audit, we assume full maintenance responsibility — including an orderly handover.
First-Time Support
Your shop has not received professional maintenance since launch and updates have accumulated? We work through the backlog in a controlled way and move operations into fixed cycles.
Emergencies
Your system has been compromised or has gone down? Emergency support begins immediately with analysis and recovery — long-term support is clarified afterward.

Our Location in Lower Saxony
XICTRON is headquartered at Glockruthenallee 16 in 31185 Söhlde, in the Hildesheim district of Lower Saxony. Söhlde is conveniently located between Hildesheim and Salzgitter, with good connections to the A7 and A2 motorways. Hildesheim central station is reachable in 15 minutes, Hannover airport in approximately 45 minutes. On-site meetings are available by prior appointment and are particularly suitable for kick-off meetings when taking over complex projects where in-person exchange accelerates the start.
At the same time, we manage the majority of our maintenance clients remotely. Through standardized processes, transparent documentation and defined communication channels, collaboration works regardless of location. Whether your company is based in Hamburg, Munich, Vienna or Zurich: the quality of our support is independent of location. For important milestones, we are happy to visit you in person. Learn more about our team and working methods on the About page.
What Happens After the Initial Consultation
After the initial consultation, you receive a written summary of the points discussed along with a first assessment of your shop's maintenance needs. If you are interested in working together, the next step is the technical audit. In this audit, we analyze the current state of your shop in detail: installed software versions, plugin landscape, server configuration, existing backup routines, performance metrics and open security gaps. The result is a prioritized action plan that serves as the foundation for the individual maintenance offer.
The audit itself is a standalone, clearly calculated commission. You can also use the action plan without a subsequent maintenance contract, for example to implement the recommendations internally or through another provider. However, we recommend combining the audit with a maintenance contract, as the findings from the audit feed directly into ongoing support and the transition is seamless. Most clients choose this path because it is the most efficient both in terms of time and cost.
For Agencies: White-Label Maintenance
Do you operate web projects for your clients as an agency and are looking for a specialized partner for ongoing technical support? Our white-label maintenance model enables you to offer professional maintenance as part of your own service portfolio without building internal DevOps capacity. You remain the primary contact for your end client, and we work in the background with individual SLAs, brand-compliant reporting and direct technical coordination.
The collaboration in the white-label model is based on clear agreements: escalation paths are tailored to your agency-client relationship, reports carry your branding and communication runs through channels you define. For your end clients, nothing changes about the familiar contact structure. For you, everything changes: you can offer your clients professional maintenance services based on years of experience and standardized processes while focusing on your core business in design and development.
Initial Consultation: What to Expect
The free initial consultation typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes and takes place by phone or video conference. Our maintenance specialist asks targeted questions about your shop system, the current maintenance situation and your requirements. In return, we give you a first assessment of which maintenance measures are a priority from our perspective and which SLA model fits your situation. You learn how our onboarding process works, what timeframe the takeover requires and what order of magnitude the monthly costs fall into: the three SLA tiers are €199, €349 and €699 per month net.
The initial consultation is not a sales pitch but a professional exchange on equal footing. If we believe your shop does not need a professional managed service, for example because it is a very simple installation without business-critical function, we say so openly. Our goal is to offer the right clients the right service, not to sell every prospect a maintenance contract. This honesty creates the foundation of trust on which long-term partnerships are built. After the initial consultation, you receive a written summary and can decide at your own pace whether a technical audit makes sense as the next step.
