Forehand E-commerce Platform
Using the Forehand E-commerce Platform requires a personal account. This account is linked to the organisation you work for.
To create and manage this account, we process your name, business contact details and the details of your organisation, among other things.

-
contact details;
-
order, delivery and invoice data.
The Forehand E-commerce Platform is linked to our ERP system SAP Business One. Data required for the delivery of our services may be exchanged between the webshop and SAP Business One. This allows us, for example, to process and make available customer data, prices, product information, stock, orders, deliveries and invoices.

legal obligation: for example, for our financial and tax administration;
-
legitimate interest: for example, to secure and improve our services or to maintain business customer relationships;
