About us

As a Senior backend developer Java you are part of Winparts' international growth ambitions. We have been growing 30+% per year for years and are the most important e-commerce partner of GPC worldwide in Europe. Our dot on the horizon? Times 10 in 10 years! How? By launching Winparts in the 9 AAG countries, including France and Spain.

Winparts is also in a transition phase in terms of software: while the majority still runs on Vanilla PHP applications, we are making a switch to composable, in which SAP plays a major role. We deviate from the SAP standard because we use a different storefront (Alokai, a React framework) and have connected a different headless CMS. At the same time, we will still be stuck with our Legacy systems and the systems of linked warehouses for some time, making the transition slower than the 'rock-hard' development time.
