Growth 2017
You can also see in comparison with 2016 the growth we experienced in 2017. Thanks to the new webshops that started using Picqer and the growth of our existing customers, we have processed three times as many orders in 2017. We expect even more growth in orders for 2018 and we are continuously working on to prepare our platform for this future growth.
PostNL's PakjeGemak within Magento 2
Good news for users of Magento 2 who ship with PostNL. We now support PakjeGemak for Magento 2.
Together with TIG, the developer of the official PostNL plugin, we ensured that you do not need an extra Picqer plugin anymore, as it is necessary for Magento 1. This makes setting up PakjeGemak even easier. Only install the PostNL plugin from TIG and we will take care of the rest.
PostNL direct
We support PakjeGemak directly via PostNL. You can use the official PostNL plugin of TIG.
Interview with Sonja Kastermans of Fietsparadijs
Sonja and Koen Kastermans started calmly with their Fietsparadijs webshops. But when their whole house was full of stock they had to take the next step and move to a dedicated location. "Thanks to Picqer we did not ship an order too late after we moved to a new location. Without Picqer I could not have done that" says Sonja. She shows us their new warehouse in Beverwijk.
We spoke to Sonja about the growth and relocation of their warehouse.
The November update
Today we have released a major update of Picqer, called the November update.
For this update we focused entirely on improvements for Picqer Fulfilment, the version for fulfilment companies. Because everyone uses the same Picqer platform, most of these updates are usable for everyone.
Buy your hardware in the Picqer Shop
The Picqer software works best with the right hardware, such as printers and barcode scanners. But there are so many options and suppliers available that it's hard to choose the best hardware. To help you out, we launched the Picqer Shop. Where we have made the best hardware choices for you.
Personally tested
All products in the Picqer Shop are personally tested by us and work well with the Picqer software. In our shop you'll see the hardware with the best value for money.
Start quickly
This way we will quickly help you to make your warehouse even better. Products ordered before 16:00 hours are delivered next day (only within the Netherlands).
Of course, you are free to use other supported hardware or to buy the recommended products anywhere else. The Picqer Shop is only available as an additional service to start quickly and without any hassle.
