Strix stood out in the selection process because of our affinity with sports, our cases in the sports domain and our phased project approach (Think. Build. Grow.). Since we, like Deventrade, are also active in Europe, it is a nice bonus to combine our expertise and strengths in this area as well. A win-win partnership.

Frank Bouwman, Director of Growth at Strix NL: 'We are very pleased that Deventrade has chosen us. Deventrade's company, culture and ambitions fit us well. We start with a discovery phase and from there we determine together the approach and the right solution for the further realisation of the new platform to push the boundaries in e-Commerce. Hand in hand with Deventrade's vision; Let's play together!
