Global online marketplace BikeExchange (BEX) is proud to announce new partnerships with industry-leading eCommerce software companies to enhance its marketplace offering, significantly improving the experience for its consumers and retailers.
By partnering with the eCommerce specialists at commercetools and implementation partner Overdose, BEX will upgrade its technology stack to a best-in-class, composable commerce architecture, enhancing the experience for the modern buyer and seller including search, content, payments, AI driven recommendations and personalisation.
BikeExchange is committed to its strategy of generating scale and expects the technology upgrades will significantly improve all key conversion metrics including pagespeed, SEO, search performance and usability. The result, along with the better experience for existing customers, will provide an ideal pathway for BEX to scale globally via technology.
“We are especially excited about what this means for our customers: a modern and personalised buying experience driven by market-leading eCommerce components and bike-specific functionality helping consumers find exactly the right bike,size, specification and options that suit them and their riding styles. With a clear focus on building out its technology IP and capabilities, the BEX team is driven by the goal of building a destination that changes the way bikes are bought and sold,”

With an architecture backed by microservices, BEX will be able to introduce a wealth of commerce functionalities and unique customer experiences.
Overdose shares the excitement about the new partnership.
“Being entrusted with the future innovation and technology of BEX is the type of project that doesn’t come around often. When we were presented with the BEX team’s vision, it was a project we knew we had to be a part of. We can’t wait to showcase our commercetools and Marketplacer expertise, as we bring cyclists around the world a new standard of customer experience,”
