Ecommerce-first warehouse software vs. a WMS + OMS platform.
How BizBloqs compares to Picqer
Picqer is Dutch warehouse software with a strong reputation among webshops: quick to adopt, pleasant to use on the floor, and shaped around the daily reality of picking, packing and shipping ecommerce orders. BizBloqs is a BPaaS platform combining warehouse management, order management and an integration layer, built for operators whose flows are mixed — wholesale next to ecommerce, production next to distribution, or client-owned stock next to their own. Both are credible Dutch products; the choice is mostly about the shape of your orders and where your order truth lives.
Best fit for BizBloqs
Wholesalers, manufacturers, 3PLs and multi-channel operators who need warehouse execution and order orchestration in one platform, driven by the ERP as the system of record, and configurable by their own key users.
Best fit for Picqer
Ecommerce operators running their own warehouse with a webshop-led flow, who want an approachable product with fast onboarding and a well-built picking and packing experience.
Side-by-side comparison

|---|---|---|
| Centre of gravity | WMS + OMS + integration layer for mixed B2B, ecommerce and production flows | Warehouse software shaped around webshop order fulfilment |
| Source of order truth | ERP-led as well as webshop-led; the ERP can stay the system of record | Webshop and marketplace led, with ERP links available |
| Order management | Native OMS with per-channel availability, allocation, splitting and routing rules | Order handling inside the warehouse product |
| B2B wholesale depth | Pallet and colli picking, customer-specific packaging, labelling and delivery windows | Supported, with defaults tuned to parcel fulfilment |
| Manufacturing support | Component issue, assembly, kitting and back-flush against production orders | Assembly and value-added work; not manufacturing-led |
| Batch and serial traceability | Batch, lot, serial and expiry captured per movement, with recall and shelf-life reporting | Lot numbers and expiry dates since September 2026, with FEFO pick-location selection; no serial numbers |
| Multi-client 3PL | Stock ownership separation, per-contract processes and activity-based billing events | Fulfilment plans with each customer's products, stock and orders fully separated, plus a customer portal; activity-based invoicing stated as in development |
| Configuration approach | Workflow-first; business key users configure the process after go-live | Strong opinionated defaults, configured within the product |
| Integrations | Connectors to ERPs, webshops, marketplaces, carriers and EDI | Broad webshop, marketplace and carrier ecosystem |
| Pricing model | Platform subscription scoped to the processes you run | Published tiers by monthly order volume, unlimited users, with a per-order fee above the tier |
| Time-to-value | Weeks on the standard workflow, including the ERP interface | 14-day trial; Picqer puts typical preparation at one to two weeks for a standard parcel flow |
Two Dutch products, two different starting points
Picqer was built for webshops, and it has never really pretended otherwise. That focus is the reason it is well liked: the picking flow is quick to learn, the packing station is designed for the volume and rhythm of parcel work, and a small ecommerce team can be productive without a consultant sitting next to them. When a product is written for one clearly understood operation, the details tend to be right, and Picqer's details are right for that operation.
BizBloqs started from a different question — not how to run a webshop warehouse well, but how to run a business process across systems without the ERP dictating what the warehouse is allowed to do. That makes BizBloqs broader and, in the pure webshop scenario, undeniably more platform than a webshop-only operator strictly needs. It also means wholesale, production and contract logistics were in the model from the start rather than added later. Neither origin is a criticism of the other; they simply lead to different strengths once your flows stop being uniform.
The order shape test
The most reliable way to choose between these two is to look at the orders you actually ship. B2C parcel orders are numerous, small and largely uniform: a few lines, a consumer address, a parcel carrier, a predictable return rate. Software built for that shape can make strong assumptions and gets to be simple as a result, which is a genuine advantage rather than a shortcut.
B2B wholesale orders break most of those assumptions. They are fewer and larger, picked in colli and pallets, packed to a retailer's specification, labelled with that retailer's own barcodes, delivered inside a booked time window, and carrying a purchase order reference that must survive all the way to the invoice. If a meaningful share of your volume looks like that, you are asking an ecommerce-shaped product to work outside the shape it was designed for, and that is where the friction shows up — usually six months after go-live rather than during the demo.
Where the order truth lives: webshop or ERP
In a webshop-led architecture the shop is the origin of the order, the warehouse product picks it, and the ERP receives the financial consequences afterwards. That works cleanly when almost everything is sold online, and it is the model Picqer fits naturally. Article data, pricing and customers can live in the warehouse product without contradiction, because there is no second system with a competing opinion.
In an ERP-led architecture — the common case for wholesalers and manufacturers — Exact, AFAS, Business Central, SAP Business One, King, Uniconta or NetSuite owns the article master, the price agreements, the customers, the purchase orders and the posting. The warehouse has to agree with that system rather than hold its own version. BizBloqs is built for that direction: the ERP interface is a first-class part of the platform, not an export at the end of the day, and stock, orders and receipts stay reconciled in both directions.
Order management is a separate layer from warehouse execution
Warehouse software tells people what to pick. Order management decides what should be picked, for whom, from which location, and in what sequence. In a single-channel webshop those two questions collapse into one, so keeping the logic inside the warehouse product is efficient and there is nothing to gain from separating it.
They come apart as soon as channels need different rules. A marketplace should see a buffered availability figure so it never oversells; a trade portal should see real stock; a key wholesale customer should have units ring-fenced against an agreed delivery schedule; a backorder should split rather than hold the whole shipment. BizBloqs resolves all of that in a native OMS before work reaches the floor, which is why multi-channel operators end up needing it. If you sell through one webshop and nothing else, you will not miss it.
Multi-client contract logistics
If you handle goods belonging to somebody else, the requirements change fundamentally rather than incrementally. Stock ownership has to be separable so the same article can exist for two clients under different batch and valuation rules. Processes have to differ per contract. Every billable activity — receiving, storage occupancy, pick lines, value-added work — has to be captured as it happens rather than reconstructed from memory at month end. Reporting has to be partitioned so each client sees their numbers and nobody else's.
This is core platform capability in BizBloqs, which is why logistics service providers sit alongside wholesalers in our customer base. Picqer is no longer only a brand-owner product here: it publishes dedicated fulfilment plans, separates each customer's products, stock and orders completely, and gives each one a portal with permissions you set per customer. The difference that remains is the billing end — Picqer's own fulfilment page describes invoicing as in development, where BizBloqs captures billable activity as events while the work happens. So the test is the same test either way, and it is the right one to run first: take a real rate card and a real month of activity, not a demo dataset, and see which system can produce the invoice you would actually send.
Batch and serial number traceability
Picqer added traceability in September 2026, so the gap this section used to describe has closed in part. Lot numbers and expiration dates arrived on 9 September and FEFO pick-location selection on 30 September. In practice: lot details are mandatory when you register a receipt, stock from one lot is always kept on one location and two lots are never mixed on a location, a picklist selects the location with the earliest expiration date, and the product page shows which customers received a given lot and where stock from it remains. There is a report for stock approaching or past its expiry date, and a historical traceability report by supplier and by customer.
What is left is narrower than it was, and worth testing rather than assuming. Picqer tracks lots, not serial numbers, so individually registered items — warranty-bearing electronics, medical devices, parts with a serial on the certificate — are outside it. Compositions and products with unlimited stock cannot be made traceable. FEFO gives priority to stock without an expiration date before the earliest-dated stock, and expired stock is still eligible for picking rather than blocked, so a shelf-life rule that has to stop goods leaving the building is not the same thing. And because one location holds one lot at a time, traceability has a real estate cost in locations. BizBloqs captures batch, lot, serial and expiry at the movement level, blocks on remaining shelf life, holds customer-specific minimum remaining shelf life, and does all of it across client-owned stock as well as your own. If you handle food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, medical devices or chemicals, take your own article data and your own shelf-life rules to both vendors and watch each of these behave.
Adoption, implementation and who owns the process afterwards
Both products go live quickly by warehouse software standards, and both will be limited by the same thing: the state of your article data, barcodes, packaging units and location labelling. No platform removes that work, and any vendor who says otherwise is selling rather than planning. Picqer's onboarding is genuinely light for a standard ecommerce flow, and that is a real advantage for a small team without an IT function.
The question worth probing is what happens six months later, when a retail customer changes their labelling requirement, you add a marketplace, or you start assembling kits. In a workflow-first platform a trained key user changes the process in configuration. In a product with strong defaults, a deviation from those defaults is more likely to become a vendor request or a workaround in a spreadsheet. Ask both vendors the same three questions during evaluation: who makes this change, how long does it take, and what does it cost.
Which one belongs on your shortlist
Shortlist Picqer if your operation is ecommerce-first in your own warehouse, your webshop and marketplaces are the origin of nearly every order, your team wants something they can pick up quickly, and you have no significant wholesale, production or client-owned stock. It is a good product doing what it was designed to do, and a webshop operator will rarely regret it.
Shortlist BizBloqs if your reality is mixed — wholesale and ecommerce, manufacturing and distribution, or your own goods alongside a client's — if the ERP is your system of record, or if you need availability and allocation rules that differ per channel. As with any WMS decision, do not settle it on a feature grid: take one real day of your own orders, exceptions included, and ask both vendors to run it end to end while you watch.
Before you decide
The honest verdict
Choose Picqer if your warehouse is ecommerce-first and your webshop is the system your orders come from — it is a well-made product for exactly that operation, and teams tend to like using it. Choose BizBloqs if wholesale, manufacturing or multi-client contract logistics sit alongside your webshop, if your ERP is the system of record, or if you need order orchestration across channels rather than order handling inside one warehouse.
