| Best for | Choose integer_net when a German or European B2B store's slowness is tangled with shared catalogs, portals and ERP logic, and the storefront is moving to Hyvä, whose 1.0 release its site describes as a joint effort with the theme's creator. |
| Not for | Not for a buyer who wants published Core Web Vitals figures on a named project, since its site and blog give Lighthouse statements without client before-and-after numbers, or for a store whose problem is the hosting tier. |
What the published record shows
integer_net states on its site that it is at Oppenhoffallee 115 in Aachen, Germany, and that since 2012 it has helped companies digitize their sales processes. Its services list covers Magento 2 development, B2B eCommerce, Hyvä frontend implementation, process automation, self-service portals, digital product catalogs, shop audits and consulting. Clients named on the homepage include Knüppel Verpackung, Cherry, Design Bestseller and Butterfly, and it shows a Hyvä Platinum Partner badge. No team size is stated, and no Clutch profile was found.
hyva.io lists integer_net as a Platinum Partner and describes it as the main partner and initial co-creator of Hyvä. Its own account, in a post dated 29 July 2021, is careful about the credit. Hyvä is Willem Wigman's project, begun in his spare time in June 2020 and presented to integer_net in July 2020, after which the team joined in, and release 1.0 in February 2021 is described as a joint effort between him and integer_net, with named frontend and backend contributors from the agency. That history is the strongest fact on the record and is why the Hyvä tier criterion is fully met.
On performance the site's statements are general. The Hyvä page states that Hyvä achieves a Google Lighthouse score of over 90 by default, even on mobile devices, that it is based on Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js, and that it is an alternative to Luma and to PWA approaches. The Butterfly launch post from 22 February 2021 shows desktop and mobile Lighthouse screenshots and states that the only optimization after switching to Hyvä was shrinking the homepage images, which the post says had a large effect on the score, but the post carries no before-and-after figure and no Core Web Vitals reading. The first page of its blog covers events, security patches, event-driven architecture and a payment provider, with no performance article.
Its homepage also shows a hosting partner badge, and its services list names no hosting of its own. No pricing, hourly rate or audit price is published.
On the six criteria integer_net scores full on Hyvä tier, low on published results because no client figure is published, low on backend depth and hosting layer control, moderate on open engineering material for its role in Hyvä 1.0, and low on published terms. That places it sixth, one place below ParadoxLabs, which has a lower Hyvä tier but publishes results and rates, and one above Snowdog, whose Gold tier and deprecated build tool score lower.

Questions people ask about integer_net
- What is integer_net's connection to Hyvä?
- hyva.io describes it as the main partner and initial co-creator. integer_net's own 2021 post says Hyvä is Willem Wigman's project, begun in June 2020, and that release 1.0 in February 2021 was a joint effort between him and integer_net, with agency developers contributing frontend and backend work. He then founded Hyvä Themes B.V. and worked on it full time. integer_net remains a Platinum Partner.
- Does integer_net publish Core Web Vitals results?
- No client before-and-after figure was found. Its Hyvä page states the theme reaches a Lighthouse score of over 90 by default, even on mobile, and its Butterfly launch post shows Lighthouse screenshots with no numbers in the text. A buyer should ask for the Chrome UX Report view of a comparable B2B project, which every agency can export from Search Console.
- Where is integer_net and what does it build?
- Aachen, Germany, at Oppenhoffallee 115, since 2012 per its site. It builds Magento 2 stores with B2B logic, self-service portals, digital product catalogs and Hyvä frontends, and offers shop audits and consulting. Clients named on its site include Knüppel Verpackung, Cherry, Design Bestseller and Butterfly. It does not list hosting as a service.
- Is integer_net a fit for a 40,000-SKU distributor?
- On the published record, yes for the B2B logic and the Hyvä storefront. Its services list names B2B eCommerce, self-service portals and digital product catalogs, and hyva.io lists it as Platinum. The server tier would come from a hosting partner. scandiweb is the alternative on this page for the same catalog size with the backend and hosting in one scope.
