What Bollux does
Bollux B.V. is a Dutch e-commerce logistics provider founded in 2020 and headquartered in a 4,000 m² facility at Smaragdstraat 1, Hengelo, Overijssel. The company pivoted in 2021 from its original Bol.com-seller marketing agency concept to a dedicated e-fulfilment and warehousing operation in response to market demand. Its core platform — the Fulfilment Portal — aggregates orders from 150+ integrated sales platforms and marketplaces (including Shopify, Bol.com, Amazon, Marktplaats, Magento, Kaufland, Lightspeed, WooCommerce, Mirakl, CCV Shop, Praxis, Decathlon, and Blokker) into a single dashboard providing real-time inventory visibility, sales analytics, purchase advice, and order status across channels. Services span secure warehousing (priced per cubic metre), pick & pack, shipping through multiple carriers (PostNL, DPD, Ampère, VVB), weekly distribution to LVB/FBA/FBK, and return processing via a Returnless software integration. The company also offers international freight forwarding through partners covering 200+ origins.
Bollux serves SMB and mid-market e-commerce businesses operating across multiple sales channels, primarily in the Netherlands and Belgium, with a 22:00 cut-off for next-day delivery. A quoted named customer, NL25 Shopping, illustrates the target use case — Bol.com sellers outsourcing storage and fulfilment to focus on sales. The revenue model combines recurring monthly storage fees (per m³), transaction-based pick & pack charges, shipping label passthroughs, and return processing fees (typically €1-2 per item). GTM is sales-led with dedicated account managers providing personalised consultations and custom quotes, supplemented by partner referrals, a content-marketing newsroom, LinkedIn and Instagram presence, and TrustPilot/Google reviews.
The company is privately held, co-founded by Thomas van Hagen, Tijmen Jans, and Joris van Lith, with Rob Westerhof as account manager, and operates with approximately 13 employees. It has no disclosed external funding or parent company. Co-owner Joris van Lith won the Saxion Ondernemers Award 2022 (€10,000 prize package). Recent strategic activity includes a March 2023 consolidation into the new Hengelo headquarters, 2024 mechanisation plans (entresol floor and automated packaging line), publicly stated intent to expand into Germany, and a partnership with Returnless for automated returns.
