"Using the Shopware integration took an enormous load off our shoulders."

Company profile
Implify is a software company based in Frankfurt am Main, specialising in digitising and automating business processes. Its product Implify Connect combines RFID and IoT technology into a solution for automated inventory management – with real-time stock monitoring, automated reordering and fewer errors. Originally developed for the dental sector, Implify Connect is used across industries today.
In addition, Implify runs a platform for the replenishment of implants through its own Shopware store. Payment processing is handled via Stripe, PayPal, and invoice purchase. With several hundred receipts per month and a monthly close including cost-center accounting, a connected, scalable finance setup was essential for the growing company from the start.
Pilot customer for the Shopware integration
Implify made a deliberate decision in favour of Frienton even before the Shopware integration was available – and then joined the development of the interface as a pilot customer.
Since go-live, Shopware receipts and the corresponding Stripe and PayPal payouts are imported into Frienton and matched automatically. Together with the tagging function, this created a connected finance process from the store to the live BWA – without manual uploads.
Pain points
Store receipts had to be uploaded manually and matched via Excel – time-consuming, complicated and error-prone.
Disconnected handovers between the Shopware store, the payment provider and bookkeeping.
Missing central platform bundling all information – from invoices and transactions through to final bookkeeping.
Complex data preparation to get cost-center-accurate reporting.
Goals
Noticeably reduce manual effort in day-to-day bookkeeping.
Connect store, payment and bookkeeping data in an automated, end-to-end way
Establish meaningful, cost-center-level reporting on a real-time basis
Results
From the outset, Implify committed to a fully digital finance administration – and increased that benefit considerably with the Shopware integration and the tagging function:
Shopware receipts, Stripe and PayPal payouts are imported and matched automatically – manual uploads are no longer needed.
The tagging function enables cost-center-level analysis directly in the live BWA.
Noticeable relief in day-to-day bookkeeping: matching learns over time and becomes more efficient month by month.
A connected finance process from the store and bank through to the tax firm – including invoicing via Frienton.
Fast, responsive support with quick adjustments during the pilot phase.
Frienton matches exactly what we need – especially with the tagging function, which lets us map our cost-center logic.
