Bronx Shoes, a 125-year-old Netherlands footwear manufacturer, moved from a custom Windows application to Handshake, an off-the-shelf SaaS order management solution. The legacy system required laptops, third-party support for updates, and ongoing maintenance fees. Handshake delivered iPad-based mobile ordering, internal catalog control, and automatic cloud updates without custom development cycles.

Key takeaways

Custom OMS created dependency on external developers for simple price and catalog changes

Mobile iPad ordering replaced laptop-based desktop application for field sales reps

Internal teams gained direct control over product data without vendor intervention

SaaS model eliminated annual maintenance fees and long update project timelines

Complex wholesale pricing structures were supported without additional customization
