About me

I’m Kai Lorenzen. I work where technology has to solve real day-to-day problems instead of merely looking impressive.

I’m not a designer who sells you a polished interface and disappears afterwards. My strength is making technology useful in everyday operations: making AI understandable, structuring eCommerce processes, improving workflows, supporting plentyOne, extending Bagisto and building technically sound WordPress websites.

I have worked with Plentymarkets, now plentyOne, from the merchant side since 2009 and have also known the agency side since 2015. That gives me both perspectives: the technical implementation and the practical question of what actually helps in daily business.

I also maintain a strong professional network. If a problem requires expertise outside my own scope, I can usually bring in someone who is a better fit for that specific task. This means you get access not only to my experience, but also to a broader network of specialists.

Outside work I am active in local sports, including HSG Angeln, and live with my family in Süderbrarup in northern Germany. I work locally as well as remotely with businesses throughout Germany and beyond.

Services focused on practical results

I help where technology can make a measurable difference: getting started with AI, developing custom shop functionality, improving eCommerce processes and building maintainable websites.

Use AI in everyday workUnderstand it, test it and apply it where it saves time or improves quality.

Getting started with AI

AI does not need to be complicated. Used well, it can reduce repetitive work, support decisions and make existing processes easier.

Many small businesses hear about ChatGPT, AI automation and new tools but do not know where to begin. That is where I help: I explain what is possible, what is realistic and which trends you can safely ignore for now.

The goal is not to replace people or rebuild everything at once. It is to identify small, useful steps: preparing texts, structuring ideas, improving customer communication, documenting internal processes, analysing data or simplifying recurring tasks.

  • Identify AI use cases that actually fit your business
  • Make AI understandable without unnecessary jargon
  • Develop prompts, templates and simple workflows
  • Focus on practical benefits instead of hype
Bagisto ExtensionsExtensions, support and development for custom Laravel commerce solutions.
Extensions & support

Bagisto development

For stores that need more than standard functionality.

Bagisto is particularly interesting because it is built on Laravel and designed to be extended. That makes it a strong option for businesses with custom processes, specialised product logic or requirements that do not fit into a closed SaaS platform.

I develop extensions, adapt workflows and help turn Bagisto into a solution that fits the way your business actually works. This is especially useful when product data from plentyOne needs to be migrated or extended, or when custom fields, uploads, variants and attributes have to be modelled properly.

Extensions

Custom functionality for products, variants, uploads, admin areas and specialised shop workflows.

Support

Help with installation, troubleshooting, adaptations, upgrades and technical Bagisto questions.

Custom development

If the standard solution is not enough, I develop functionality around your actual business process.

Downloads

My own Bagisto extensions are available separately through the Bagisto shop.

plentyOne processesStructure product data, variants, properties and workflows in a maintainable way.

plentyOne support

When plentyOne technically works but the processes around it do not, the friction costs time every day.

I help businesses get more out of plentyOne. The focus is not technology for its own sake, but workflows that become simpler, more reliable and easier to understand.

Product maintenance, variants, attributes, properties, images, order processing, interfaces and recurring tasks are common areas where small inefficiencies accumulate into substantial daily overhead.

  • Reduce manual work through better processes
  • Improve product data and data structures
  • Structure variants, attributes and properties properly
  • Practical troubleshooting when something does not work as expected
Build WordPress properlyMaintainable websites with a clean technical base, mobile usability and clear structure.

WordPress development

A website should not only look good. It should be discoverable, build trust and support your business.

I build WordPress websites that are technically clean, mobile-friendly and maintainable in everyday use. For small and medium-sized businesses, that matters more than unnecessary complexity: the website should be easy to understand, load quickly and remain easy to update.

Clear structure

Visitors should quickly understand who you are, what you offer and why they should trust you.

Solid technical base

Fast loading times, mobile usability and a stable implementation matter more than visual gimmicks.

SEO considered

Content structure, metadata and internal linking are planned from the beginning.

Easy to maintain

You should not need a developer for every small change. Ongoing maintenance is part of the design.
