Twice As Nice: from local jewelry brand to international retailer
Ever since the 1980s, Twice As Nice has been a fixture in Antwerp. What began as a jewelry brand with its own style, grew step by step into an international retailer with a strong brand identity. Today, the company combines a mix of own stores and franchise partners and looks beyond Belgium alone. With recent openings in the Netherlands and ambitious plans towards France, it is clear: Twice As Nice's growth has only just begun. Read more
Challenge
- Complexity due to mix of owned stores, franchise partners and omnichannel sales.
- Tracking in two systems and data that was not accessible everywhere without local application and additional servers
- High operational pressure and back office that did not scale with growth.
Solution
- One central cloud platform that unifies ERP and retail.
- Real-time data, available anywhere, without servers or sync.
- Configurable processes and seamless integrations for accounting, marketing and reporting.
Advantage
- Expand to new countries without the need for additional back office teams.
- Opening new stores is as easy as adding a user.
- Full focus on brand experience and international growth.
Growth brings complexity
That expansion goes beyond simply opening an additional store. It means inventory management across multiple countries, distribution keys for franchise partners, click & collect options that must perfectly match the customer experience, as well as accounting that must continue seamlessly across borders. For many retailers, this creates a maze of systems and extra people in the back office. Not so for Twice As Nice.
From link to central engine
The story of Twice As Nice and Tilroy is one of evolution. Initially, the brand used Tilroy as an omnichannel interface on top of their existing ERP. That worked, but also brought limitations and processes had to be tracked in two different systems. This not only caused duplication of effort, but also errors and delays.
Those days are over. Data that used to require constant synchronization is now available anytime, anywhere, regardless of location or device. Because Tilroy runs entirely in the cloud, additional servers or local installations have become unnecessary. As a result, the organization works faster, lighter and more reliably.
Tilroy became the beating heart of the organization. It completely replaced the custom ERP and grew into the central engine that drives all stores, franchise partners and e-commerce channels in real time. Today, for Twice As Nice, Tilroy is much more than an ERP: it is a growth accelerator and a data platform that, thanks to its integrations with Exact (accounting), Custobar (marketing automation), Channable API(orders from marketplaces) and Power BI (business analytics platform), also performs functions that you would typically find with a CDP.
International scalability in practice
The result is an organization ready to grow without a brake. Tilroy's strength lies in the simplicity with which growth becomes possible. Opening new stores in the Netherlands, from The Hague to Rotterdam, Utrecht and Arnhem, was no longer a large IT project, but a standard process. Administratively, creating a new store is almost as simple as adding a new user.
This allows Twice As Nice to focus on store design, brand experience and customer service, while the technology supports everything in the background. The next step, jumping into France, therefore becomes not a complex challenge, but a logical step forward.
The foundation for the future
What Twice As Nice is experiencing today is the power of a modern SaaS platform that grows with their ambitions. Tilroy not only continuously delivers new features for modern retail, but at the same time offers the flexibility to make specific processes, such as franchise models or profit distribution, configurable. So you get a scalable SaaS solution that feels like it was custom built.
For Twice As Nice, that means a solid foundation: one platform, real-time data and an ecosystem of integrations that supports all departments. Finance, marketing, operations and the store floor all work from the same central source of truth.
Conclusion
Twice As Nice proves that technology need not be a brake, but rather can become the lever for expansion and brand experience. By using Tilroy as a full-fledged ERP and central engine, the brand has a scalable foundation that effortlessly supports local complexity, national expansion and international growth.
This case simultaneously illustrates a broader trend: the future of retail no longer lies in rigid custom systems, but in configurable SaaS platforms that connect seamlessly to the broader ecosystem of modern retail technology. In this, Tilroy is not just a replacement for ERP, but a strategic foundation: it simplifies, accelerates and creates the agility needed to grow internationally.
