What is Veloconnect?

Veloconnect is an open standard for data exchange in the bicycle industry.

It enables the automatic exchange of product inventories, prices, orders, and delivery information between ERP systems and suppliers – completely without manual input.

This allows retailers, for example, to:

• Automatically update stock levels and prices
• Send orders directly from their ERP system
• Retrieve order statuses and delivery notes digitally

In short: Veloconnect saves time, reduces errors, and automates workflows.
