Kruitbosch started out as a local wholesaler for bicycles and accessories before they evolved into an international chain with a partner network that consists of over 2,500 dealers. To get more out of the various sales channels and to enable further growth, Kruitbosch replaced its previous ordering system with an online customer portal. In early 2020, the family-owned company migrated to the latest version of the Intershop Commerce Platform and the Azure SQL Server.

Kruitbosch has developed from a wholesaler for bicycles and accessories to a trading partner for the bicycle trade. The company offers the bicycle brands Cortina, which sells city bikes and e-bikes, and Alpina, a brand for children’s bicycles. Kruitbosch puts the customer at the center of every activity. The passion for bicycles is what unites everyone in the company.
