    {
      "question": "What is BizBloqs?",
      "answer": "BizBloqs is a Business-Process-as-a-Service (BPaaS) platform that delivers enterprise-grade Warehouse Management (WMS), Order Management (OMS), and system integrations to SMB and mid-market operators worldwide, with its centre of gravity in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Founded in 2015 in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, BizBloqs serves 200+ active customers on several continents across 15 industry verticals, supported inside their own working day by teams in the Netherlands and the Philippines, and has processed more than 7,000,000 shipments."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is a WMS and does BizBloqs provide one?",
      "answer": "A Warehouse Management System (WMS) controls day-to-day warehouse operations: receiving, putaway, replenishment, scan-driven picking, packing, shipping, and cycle counting. BizBloqs provides a full cloud WMS as part of its BPaaS platform, with handheld and wearable-device support and real-time inventory at location and lot level."
    },
    {
      "question": "How much does BizBloqs cost?",
      "answer": "BizBloqs is priced per user and per site rather than by transaction volume, which keeps costs predictable as order volumes grow. Exact pricing depends on the number of users, sites, and modules (WMS, OMS, Integrations). Contact BizBloqs for a quote tailored to your operation."
    },
    {
      "question": "What systems does BizBloqs integrate with?",
      "answer": "BizBloqs ships pre-built connectors for major ERPs (Exact, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite and others), e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce), marketplaces (Amazon, bol.com), carriers (DHL, PostNL, UPS, DPD, GLS and others), and EDI trading partners. Custom integrations are delivered through the same integration layer."
    },
    {
      "question": "How long does a BizBloqs implementation take?",
      "answer": "Because BizBloqs is workflow-first and pre-configured rather than custom-built, most SMB and mid-market implementations go live in weeks, not months. Actual timing depends on the number of sites, integrations, and the complexity of existing processes, but a single warehouse with standard connectors typically launches in 4 to 12 weeks."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is BizBloqs suitable for 3PL and multi-client warehouses?",
      "answer": "Yes. BizBloqs supports third-party logistics (3PL) operators with multi-client inventory segregation, per-client billing rules for storage and handling, and portals or APIs that let each shipper's ERP or OMS talk directly to the 3PL's warehouse."
    },
    {
      "question": "Which industries does BizBloqs serve?",
      "answer": "BizBloqs serves 15 industry verticals: automotive, MedTech, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, agriculture, fashion, cosmetics & personal care, luxury goods, home & decoration, technology & electronics, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), construction, chemicals, paper & packaging, and technical wholesale."
    },
    {
      "question": "Where is BizBloqs based?",
      "answer": "BizBloqs Management Solutions B.V. is headquartered at Rietveldenweg 12A, 5222 AR 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. The company was founded in 2015 by Willem ten Asbroek and serves customers worldwide, with its centre of gravity in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Two offices — the Dutch head office and BizBloqs Manila in the Philippines — cover European and Asia-Pacific working hours, alongside a network of 30+ global system integrator partners."
    },
    {
      "question": "How does BizBloqs differ from SAP EWM, Manhattan, or Descartes?",
      "answer": "BizBloqs is delivered as BPaaS with a workflow-first configuration model, so customers get enterprise-grade WMS and OMS capability without the multi-year implementation and heavy custom development typical of tier-one suites. Pricing is per user and per site rather than by transaction volume, which is a better fit for SMB and mid-market operations."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does BizBloqs offer a demo?",
      "answer": "Yes. You can request a live demo or a call with a solutions architect from the Contact page. Demos walk through WMS, OMS, and the specific integrations relevant to your operation."
