Bol.com, one of the most popular shopping platforms in the Netherlands and Belgium and offers a huge assortment of different product groups. Except for food, no product can be left out. Thus the slogan "The store of us all".

History

Bol.com was founded in 1999 by Bertelsmann AG, a German media group. Originally, the assortment consisted only of books, music and movies. Since then, the assortment has grown a lot. Today, bol.com is owned by Ahold Delhaize, an international retail group.

Growth and popularity

Bol.com currently has as many as 10 million customers and an assortment of 20 million items. Bol.com has also made its platform available to external sellers. Thus, it is able to offer such a large assortment. This is a win-win situation. Smaller businesses enjoy bol.com's economies of scale and bol.com receives commission on those sales.

Bol.com App

In addition to the website, bol.com also offers an app to make shopping even easier. With this app, you can quickly and easily order your favorite products anywhere, anytime. The app also provides recommendations based on your previous purchases and interests. This increases customer friendliness and engagement with the store.

Sustainability

Bol.com also values sustainability. They are constantly improving their operations to become more sustainable. They have packaging machines that automatically select the smallest possible box to pack the product in. This results in less air being transported and therefore less CO2 emissions. They also work with sustainable suppliers and offer a growing number of sustainable products.

Conclusion

Bol.com is not just another online store. It is a marketplace, a technology platform and an e-commerce giant. As one of the Netherlands' largest online retailers, it plays a crucial role in the digital economy of the Netherlands. Whether you're looking for a new book, toys for your child or a new TV, bol.com probably has it. And the best part? You don't have to leave your house for it.

We have a seamless connection to the Bol.com platform. The connection ensures that new orders appear immediately in the WMS. As soon as orders are packed, the order is automatically closed in Bol.com and the track & trace appears.
