LimTec

Web development, server management and IT consulting come together at LimTec, a German company with its own data centre.

Web applications and shop systems

LimTec builds web applications with Laravel and Symfony and mobile apps with Ionic. Its shop expertise covers Shopware, a modular open-source system, Cosmoshop, which has a broad set of B2B functions, and WooCommerce for WordPress shops. It also builds frontend and backend modules for Shopware, TYPO3 and WordPress. The company says its team has deep knowledge of both frontend and backend development.

Responsive design and B2B web services

The company designs responsive interfaces that adapt to a computer, a tablet or a phone, with menus and touch events suited to each device. Its B2B web services allow machine-to-machine communication over HTTP or HTTPS, using REST and SOAP. Development follows a set of principles: an early prototype, flexible and extensible software, full project control and managed change.

Server management in its own data centre

LimTec's server work is built on highly available Linux systems, supplied as a full-service package from hardware to software. Clients are served from a facility the company runs itself, which carries ISO certification, and the company says security is not negotiable in its maintenance work. Managed servers receive maintenance, upgrades, backups and security patches. Enterprise cloud setups combine caching servers, load balancers, web and database servers, storage, and services such as DNS, mail and backup. It also helps clients choose and buy server hardware and extend existing IT landscapes.

IT consulting, security and project management

The consulting arm supports the introduction of critical IT processes and of web-based software, including deployment and version management. It designs update and backup strategies, carries out security analyses, protects web applications and server environments, and analyses attacks. Projects are planned and controlled in Redmine, with time tracking, source code management and project documentation. The company says it draws on twelve years of experience.

meetzi, an in-browser meeting room

LimTec also runs meetzi, an online meeting room that works directly in the browser. The company says it allows video meetings for up to 100 people and is built on open-source technology. Since early 2023 the company has also worked with AI and automation, integrating modern models into web and backend workflows, with examples including chatbots and knowledge search. It says clients keep full access to the code once a project is complete.
