Connecting Bol to Exact Online and PostNL
By the KoneX Team | Last updated: August 2026
With KoneX, you can connect Bol to Exact Online and PostNL in a single integration: Bol orders are automatically sent to Exact Online for your accounting and to PostNL for shipping labels and Track & Trace. Inventory and shipping statuses are automatically kept in sync across all three systems—without any manual entry.
Do you sell through Bol, manage your accounting in Exact Online, and ship with PostNL? Without integration, these three systems can quickly fall out of sync: orders have to be retyped, inventory levels are off, and shipping takes up more time than necessary. KoneX connects the entire chain—from order to accounting to package—into a single, seamless process.
Instead of three separate point-to-point connections (Bol–Exact, Exact–PostNL, Bol–PostNL), with KoneX you connect each system once and link it to all the others. Integrate Once. Connect Everywhere.
KoneX connects Bol, Exact Online, and PostNL Seamlessly and automatically integrates with your business processes. No manual data entry and no unnecessary complexity. This way, your business can grow while your systems continue to work together seamlessly.

What data does KoneX integrate?
KoneX automatically synchronizes the most important data flows between Bol, Exact Online, and PostNL:
- Products – Product data is automatically transferred from Bol to PostNL, so the fulfillment partner knows which items need to be shipped. This way, you don’t have to create items manually.
- Orders – New Bol orders are automatically forwarded to Exact Online (accounting) and to PostNL (shipping). This allows processing to begin immediately, without the need for manual entry.
- Shipping & Track & Trace – PostNL automatically generates shipping labels; shipping statuses and Track & Trace information are sent back to Bol and the customer. This way, everyone always knows where the shipment is.
- Inventory – Inventory levels from PostNL (fulfillment) are automatically synced back to Bol and Exact Online. This prevents overselling and ensures that Bol always displays up-to-date inventory levels.
- Accounting (order-to-cash) – Bol orders are processed in Exact Online, ensuring that your accounting records are automatically accurate. This keeps your books up to date without the need for manual data entry.
The Bol–Exact–PostNL integration synchronizes these processes
The integration automates the following operational processes, eliminating manual work, delays and data inconsistencies:
- Order Processing – Bol orders are automatically transferred to Exact Online and prepared for shipment via PostNL. This shortens the turnaround time and eliminates the need for manual data entry.
- Accounting & Order-to-Cash – Orders and payments are processed automatically in Exact Online. This ensures your accounting records are accurate without the need for duplicate data entry and speeds up your order-to-cash process.
- Shipping via PostNL – Products, shipping orders, labels, shipping statuses, and Track & Trace are automatically exchanged between Bol and PostNL. This ensures that the shipping process runs smoothly without any manual steps.
- Inventory Management – Inventory levels from PostNL are synchronized with Bol and Exact Online, ensuring that your sales channel always displays up-to-date inventory levels. This helps you avoid overselling.
- Multi-connection orchestration – KoneX automatically determines the correct route between Bol, Exact Online, and PostNL based on business rules. This ensures that every order automatically aligns with your business processes, even as you add new systems.

Real-world examples
Every organization grows differently, but in practice we see many of the same challenges emerge.
For example, one organization already sells through Bol and handles its accounting in Exact Online, but still manually prepares orders and shipments for PostNL. Another organization already ships with PostNL, but lacks automatic feedback on shipping statuses and inventory levels to Bol and the accounting system. In both cases, the challenge revolves around the same question:
“How do you get Bol, your accounting, and your shipping to work together without having to track everything manually?”
During our KoneX Community Talks™, we discuss these kinds of issues with e-commerce entrepreneurs, fulfillment companies, and software partners. The answer almost always boils down to the same principle: Integrate Once. Connect Everywhere. — Connect each system once and link it to all the others.
