Dorstlust

Change it up a bit

DIGITAL COMMERCE

Dorstlust is killin' it in the non‑alcoholic drinks scene in the Netherlands, with a mission to give the country a different drinking experience. With both their business brand, Dorstlust, and consumer brand, Drankerij, they're becoming a big player in the drinks market. They've got a wide range of non‑alcoholic sodas, as well as wine, beer, and spirits. They've been building a strong brand for 10 years with a clear vision, and now have a scalable platform to show for it.

Dorstlust and De Drankerij take it personal

Stephan and Tessa, the brains behind Dorstlust and Drankerij, have a personal approach to their business, both online and in their physical store in Amsterdam‑East. They talked to customers and bar owners to figure out that "drinking differently" wasn't just about soda. So they expanded to include beer, wine, and spirits. Even as they grew, they made sure to keep their personal touch and customer focus. Whether you're a consumer, small business, or big chain, they've got a story and some personal advice for each drink.

Flexible platform that grows along with the business

Their original WooCommerce platform wasn't cutting it, so they teamed up with Touchtribe for a custom solution. After checking out some tech, they went with the scalable and connectable Bigcommerce e‑commerce platform. It's got more online options and works great on both desktop and mobile.

"Dorstlust is an excellent example of an organization that has pushed WooCommerce's limits through its success. With BigCommerce as a new e‑commerce engine, they can move forward for years to come."

Two platforms, one backend, optimal control

Now the two Dorstlust platforms are connected to one backend, which saves time and reduces communication errors between drink manufacturers and bar locations.
