Case Study: Web Design | Web Development

MSV Systemhaus Peine is a specialist in advanced archiving systems and media digitisation based in Germany. For over three decades, they have provided tailored digitisation services for institutions such as libraries, government agencies, automotive companies, and logistics firms. This project reflects RubyWeb’s (formerly WeDev.Africa) ability to deliver world-class web development solutions across borders, merging technical innovation with long-standing industry experience.

Brief & Objectives

MSV Systemhaus Peine is a leading German company specialising in document archiving and the digitisation of image and film material. With over 35 years of experience serving sectors such as libraries, public institutions, automotive, and logistics, they required a modern website that matched their industry expertise and technical precision.

This project marked a key moment in our global growth. The goal was to transition MSV Systemhaus Peine’s legacy website to a modern WordPress framework, enhancing usability, content visibility, and long-term scalability — all without losing the authoritative presence they had established in the archiving technology space.

Challenges & Strategy

This digital transformation posed several challenges:

  • Outdated CMS: The client was using a legacy content management system that was difficult to maintain, limiting both performance and flexibility.

  • Complex Content Hierarchy: With extensive industry-specific offerings, restructuring the sitemap for clarity and SEO was critical.

  • Preserving Identity: The new website needed to retain MSV’s long-standing brand image while updating the look and feel to meet modern design standards.

  • International Collaboration: As a German-based business working with a South African agency, clear communication and coordinated project timelines were key.
