LedLoket is a fast-growing webshop specializing in LED lighting. What started as an idea "over a beer," has quickly grown into a mature e-commerce company with a team of fifteen employees. The first steps were taken in Timo's grandmother's garage. During the corona period, LedLoket made a growth spurt and they moved into their current premises in Denekamp.
Co-owner Timo Wiefferink is responsible for the company's marketing and e-commerce. With new webshop software, a growing order volume and increasingly complex payment flows, it was time to set up the administration in a smarter way. He found the solution in Combidesk 's software links.
LedLoket ran on WooCommerce for a long time and worked with Exact Online for accounting. For payment processing, Pay. had been used for many years.
The growth of the company created more and more administrative pressure. Automatic debiting was not properly set up, so payments often had to be checked manually. This took time and made it difficult to keep a grip on the administration.
"It was a lot of manual work. Checking, checking ... and at a certain point differences were no longer correct either."
At the end of 2024 LedLoket made the switch to Shopify. That moment was deliberately used not only to renew the web shop, but also to redesign the administrative processes in a smarter way. The previous webshop, with its complex links, was expensive and difficult to manage. The wish: one solution in which webshop, payments and accounting are logically connected, without unnecessary complexity.
During the switch to Shopify, Combidesk came into the picture as the connecting link between webshop, payments and accounting.
"We just wanted to get it right. Less complex, but set up in such a way that it works automatically."
Pay. has played an important role in LedLoket's payment process for some time now. Online payments are processedvia Pay. for the Dutch, Belgian and German web shops. Linking Pay. to Exact Online creates one clear payment flow. Orders from the web shop, payments via the payment provider and bookings in Exact now match seamlessly.
With the Combidesk links between Pay. and Exact Online and Shopify and Exact Online orders and payments are automatically linked together. Where previously almost everything was checked manually, this is now done fully automatically.
The result: an administration that is always correct and provides immediate insight.
"Now orders and payments are automatically matched. That gives overview and peace of mind."
Why Combidesk and Pay.?
Orders from Shopify are automatically transferred to Exact Online.
Payments through Pay. are automatically recognized in the accounting system.
Bookings and payments are immediately zeroed in Exact Online.
Per sales group in Pay. is automatically zeroed to Exact Online. For example, in LedLoket this is broken down per country (NL, BE and DE).
According to Timo, the implementation of the links was easy. A colleague helped with the setup and the support from Combidesk was also experienced as approachable and pleasant.
"The link was easy to set up and the support from Combidesk was just well organized."
Since the links have been active, LedLoket has noticed an immediate difference:
The growing pains of recent years are now behind LedLoket. The web shop is up, marketing is running and processes are set up to scale. Thanks to the links between Pay., Exact Online and Shopify, the financial administration is no longer an obstacle to further growth.
"The accounting is now in order. That saves an enormous amount of time and hassle."
