Garden and DIY retail chain across Benelux with distribution and five store locations
Van Cranenbroek operates a five-store garden equipment and DIY retail footprint across Benelux, backed by a distribution center in Overpelt. The tech stack—Dynamics 365, Akeneo, inRiver, Salsify—signals a retailer working to centralize product information and financial operations across multiple locations. Hiring is weighted heavily toward sales (61 roles) and operations (20), with junior staff dominating the intake, suggesting rapid front-line expansion. Active projects span store renovation, NPS improvement, and logistics optimization, while pain points cluster around process bottlenecks, seasonal demand swings, and data integration—typical friction points for a multi-location operator scaling operational discipline.
