About Leeuwerik

With over one hundred years in the business, Leeuwerik is one of the oldest leading importers and wholesalers of structural and decorative sheet materials in the Netherlands. Leeuwerik’s main warehouse spans over twenty thousand square meters, inhabiting a diverse range of approximately three thousand different products. Their product range is separated between both decorative and structural sheet material, which varies in thickness, quality, design, and processing options that often contribute to high consumer demands.

Why Leeuwerik chose Alumio

Leeuwerik opted for Alumio’s integration platform in order to organize and orchestrate a future-proof IT ecosystem and integrate its logistics. This involved connecting their ERP and digital software to help bridge the gap between their import and wholesale operations, bringing orders, services, and cut-to-size processes from their warehouse straight to their customer’s doorsteps.

What Alumio helped Leeuwerik integrate

By connecting Leeuwerik’s ERP (Kerridge, formally known as AGP) to their e-commerce platform (Adobe Commerce, formerly known as Magento 2), data entities such as products, stocks, customers, deliveries, and orders are transformed and seamlessly exchanged in real-time, along with B2B customer-specific prices. Subsequently, Leeuwerik’s customers are able to relish the ability to order at any given time (24 hours a day) with real-time insights on their pricing agreements.

Integrations have also been carried out for orders via the SOAP API of Kerridge (AGP) using Alumio, which allows wholesalers to manage all aspects of business within one central hub. From stock control and sales orders to delivery management and accounting – everything is monitored to ensure real-time insights empower a robust, data-driven business approach.
