ÜBERSTUNDE

When ÜBERSTUNDE wanted a modern and fully custom event management platform they contacted Ventureon GmbH

A new kind of challenge

It quickly became clear that this would not be a small project. ÜBERSTUNDE needed both a customer facing event platform as well as a separate management system for event organizers.

Their specific requirements meant that existing event platforms like Meetup.com would not be an option. They also needed both platforms to be fully responsive as both participants and event organizers would need to use them during the events. The event management platform even required a QR code scanner to allow organizers to scan tickets at the door.

“I thought it would be impossible to build something like this in in my life because I don't want to code but Nordcraft made it fun!”

Jumping in

Prior to this project, the team at Ventureon had primarily worked with Webflow, but realized that the scope and complexity of the project meant that they would have to find a different solution.

Nordcraft was an obvious choice for them since it combined the developer experience of webflow with the power and flexibility of a modern web framework. Coming from Webflow meant that the team were already fluent in HTML and CSS which made Nordcraft much easier to learn.

“The way you build with HTML and CSS is very similar to Webflow and made it fun to build UI. Creating the functionality and logic was a bit overwhelming at the beginning but once it clicks your can create anything.”

Joyful onboarding

Their latest colleague Chris joined a month after the project had started. Chris was hired straight out of university but quickly got up to speed with Nordcraft. He worked on a custom news letter feature for the management platform. This would let event managers create custom emails in a visual editor, as well as manage sending schedules, recipients and cohorts etc.

A modern stack

Ventureon choose to pair Nordcraft with the backend platform Xano to create a stack that would let them move quickly without sacrificing performance and flexibility.

"The switch from standard software to our customized solution was a big step, but it was worth it! After just a few weeks, it feels like we have a whole new company. Instead of improvising, our processes now run automatically, and we can develop exactly what our customers really want. "
Steffen Heyde Managing director of ÜBERSTUNDE:

Happy customers

ÜBERSTUNDE was a massive success. Since its launch in June of 2025 they are grown to over 1000 members. They are running events in 8 different cities across Germany with over 2000 participants each month. 

The team at Ventureon is not slowing down. They already started on their next project. Taking on Ticketmaster and StubHub with a custom ticketing system.
