About Cortina

Cortina is a brand of Kruitbosch, a Dutch bicycle manufacturing company with over 200 employees, in business since 1955. Cortina has become a significant player in the e-bike and city bike markets not only in its home country, the Netherlands, but also in Belgium, France, and Germany.

The challenge

Cortina aimed to transition from an outdated CMS to a more future-proof solution. They required a CMS that was flexible for the IT department, while also being user-friendly for the Content Management/Marketing department. Additionally, some product data needed to be sourced from the company's product API.
