Auctus

AUCTUS Capital Partners is not just a fund. It is a team of entrepreneurs - for entrepreneurs. Since its foundation in Munich in 2001, AUCTUS has developed into the first address for sustainable investments in European SMEs. With over 450 majority shareholdings realized, 50 active platform companies and a total portfolio turnover of around 3 billion euros, AUCTUS stands for sustainable growth. And in the best sense of the word: the term “AUCTUS” comes from Latin and means exactly that - growth.

Since 2021, bestbytes has been supporting AUCTUS in its digital development - from the corporate website to the smart modular system for the portfolio companies. Flexible, efficient, brand clear.

The task

The task was clear: the digital presence of AUCTUS Capital Partners AG was to be modernized, internationalized and operationalized at the same time. The clear objective was:

• A contemporary corporate website based on WordPress - modern, clear, trustworthy

• Trilingualism (German, English, Italian) for the international positioning of the company website

• And the special feature: A flexible modular website system that new portfolio companies can use to set up their own websites quickly, in line with their brand and cost-efficiently.
  What was important here: a well thought-out, pragmatic setup that grows with the needs of portfolio companies - from hidden champions to new market leaders.

The result

• Implementation of the AUCTUS corporate website with WordPress in three languages

• Integration of team and investment data with an automatable, dynamic structure

• Visual development of the digital brand identity - minimalist, focused, confidence-building

• Development of a flexible WordPress web toolkit for AUCTUS portfolio companies

The launch of the corporate website is by no means the end of the collaboration: bestbytes supports ongoing operations and is already planning the next expansion stages - for example, new portfolio websites and landing pages. In this way, the platform continues to grow hand in hand with the AUCTUS portfolio and remains ready for the next step at all times, both technically and in terms of content.
