How Top1Toys links Bol.com to ValkAspos
Top1Toys is a major toy store franchise in the Netherlands, where many franchisees sell on bol.com. But keeping stock aligned with ValkAspos was a daily struggle. With Stockpilot, they now sync orders and inventory in real time, without manual work, even during peak season.
Selling on marketplaces, without losing grip on stock
Top1Toys is one of the largest toy store franchises in the Netherlands. Each store operates independently but shares the same backbone: ValkAspos. It’s the cash register and stock system used across the entire franchise network. While originally designed for physical retail, many stores have expanded online, selling on their own webshop, Bol.com, Amazon, and other marketplaces.
For some franchisees, that growth brought operational stress. Without a proper integration, they had to update stock manually, often with Excel lists, late at night. It was error-prone and time-consuming. Overselling became a real risk, especially during peak periods like Black Friday or Sinterklaas.
The demand was clear: stores needed to sell online without losing control of their local stock position.

A direct connection to ValkAspos
Stockpilot provides the connection these franchise stores were missing. It links Bol.com, Amazon, and other platforms directly to ValkAspos. When an order is placed on a marketplace, Stockpilot syncs it into the ValkAspos system as an online sale. At the same time, every stock change in ValkAspos is pushed back to the connected channels, in real time.
This means no more manual stock updates, no spreadsheets, and no double work. Stores keep working inside ValkAspos like they always have. Stockpilot handles everything else in the background.

Built for operational simplicity
What makes the setup effective is that it doesn’t add complexity. The Stockpilot integration is designed to work within the way Top1Toys stores already operate. There’s no need to change workflows, learn new systems, or manage multiple tools.
Whether it’s one store or several, each franchisee stays in control of stock, orders, and fulfillment, across all connected sales channels. Inventory remains accurate, marketplace listings stay up to date, and staff can focus on customers, not administration.

Ready for growth across the franchise
This approach is now live in multiple Top1Toys locations and expanding. It gives franchisees a scalable way to grow their online presence without technical barriers. The connection with ValkAspos allows stores to keep their existing setup while reaching new customers through Bol.com, Amazon, and beyond.
What started as a way to avoid overselling is now a foundation for digital growth. With Stockpilot in place, these stores have a reliable, real-time connection between the systems they already use and the marketplaces where their customers are shopping.

“Before Stockpilot, I updated our bol.com stock manually with Excel every day. Now it syncs directly with ValkAspos. It saves time and prevents mistakes.”
