About
Bikedesk is a comprehensive, cloud-based shop management system designed specifically for bicycle retailers — from single-owner shops to multi-location chains. Unlike generic retail software, Bikedesk is tailored to the day-to-day realities of running a bike shop, providing a unified platform that handles every operational touchpoint. At its core, Bikedesk includes a fast and intuitive POS (point-of-sale) system that runs on any device — PC, Mac, or iPad — making it easy to process payments, issue gift cards, and print labels. The workshop management module gives technicians and owners a clear overview of repairs, orders, and full customer histories, reducing miscommunication and lost jobs. The inventory system supports mobile barcode scanning for stocktaking and tracks the entire process from purchasing to receiving goods. Bikedesk also automates customer service reminders, sending notifications when a bike is due for a service — a proven way to drive repeat business. For shops working with major suppliers like Shimano, Cycle Service Nordic, and HF Christiansen, Bikedesk pulls in product master data directly, eliminating manual data entry. With over 100 integrations including Shopify, WordPress, Mailchimp, e-conomic, and Dinero, the platform fits seamlessly into existing business workflows. Bikedesk is trusted by hundreds of bike shops across Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and beyond, and offers a 14-day free trial with no commitment required.
