With over 65 years to show for it, Kruitbosch is a well-known brand in the cycling industry. Contrary to other industries, the bicycle market has had a wonderful year.

About Kruitbosch

Does the Cortina city bike or Alpina children’s bike ring any bells? Good, because that means you’ve heard of Kruitbosch. Founded in 1955, the family business has become a big name in the cycling industry. Apart from their own brands – e.g. Cortina –  Kruitbosch delivers thousands of bicycle parts and accessories, advises shops in terms of their interior design, communication- and promotional materials. Both off and online.

In 2020 Kruitbosch finds itself in the midst of a digital transformation. Not just the company but the entire cycling industry has been introduced to e-commerce. And Kruitbosch wants little else than be the frontrunner within the bicycle niche. They have said goodbye to their legacy and these modern times have called for the addition of Intershop as their e-commerce platform. It has two important channels: b2b and b2c. Both these want to expand internationally.

From setting up payment providers to the logistics part and the link with the b2b, the biggest challenge is part and parcel of the b2c department. And by building exactly this part of the business the Lead Developer Intershop is going to be kept quite busy.
