20 years of success – Winweb celebrates its anniversary

1997: Once upon a time…

Managing Director Willi von Berg founds Winweb Informationstechnologie GmbH and begins marketing the winweb-food software he developed. These are not exactly ‚garage days‘, as the company has bright offices in its own building, but it starts small with two additional programmers. One of the first customers – and still a customer today – is Schwarzwaldfleisch GmbH in Achern.

2017: What has changed…       What has remained the same…

Today, 45 employees, primarily programmers, consultants and support specialists, look after the needs of more than 150 customers. The offices have moved from the founder’s home into a separate building, equipped with the latest technology and everything that makes a workplace pleasant. – Nevertheless: Winweb still does not need a grand, elaborate company building. Other priorities take center stage:

The software has grown almost tenfold, from an initial 200 screens to around 1700 screens today. Customer requests and specific industry requirements in the food industry, particularly the meat sector, continuously drive innovation and user-focused improvements to winweb-food.

Willi von Berg is still the dependable central figure at Winweb Informationstechnologie GmbH – dependable for the employees in a company with flat hierarchies and direct access to the boss, – but above all dependable for customers when it comes to fulfilling customer requests and responding quickly to new requirements. As an owner-managed company, Winweb remains a software partner that works with its customers as an equal.
