Vintro Pro isn't software that was born in a boardroom or dreamed up in theory — it grew out of the everyday reality of an antiques and vintage dealer. Those same challenges — stock, pricing, paperwork — are familiar to anyone working with unique, second-hand or sustainable pieces: from bicycles to clothing, from jewellery to art, and just as much to the craftsperson or artist who makes every piece themselves.
Jerome Leadlay, a British antique and vintage dealer, trades as Jerome Leadlay Antiques from within Crystal Palace Antiques, and lives with his wife Griet Coussement in Bruges.
Vintro Pro started in Bruges, but it is not limited to it: dealers across Belgium, the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom work with it just as well. Do you trade in Bruges or nearby yourself? Then stock management for antique dealers in Bruges was written especially for you.
Every day he buys, registers and sells unique pieces: antiques, vintage furniture, decorative objects, art and collectibles. Like many dealers in one-of-a-kind goods, he kept running into the same challenges:

What used to be manageable with spreadsheets and loose notes grew harder as the inventory grew. There was a clear need for a system that doesn't just manage stock, but brings structure to the entire flow of goods.
Griet Coussement — a trained teacher working as a learning developer and accountant, also providing freelance administrative support to other businesses, and founder of Vintiques Export — saw the same challenge from a different angle. She noticed how difficult it becomes for entrepreneurs when important information ends up scattered across:
Together, Jerome and Griet arrived at the same conclusion:
The problem isn't the inventory. The problem is the lack of structure around that inventory.
That idea is what led Griet to build Vintro Pro.
Vintro Pro was built to give every item its own identity. From purchase to sale, the important data is kept in one central place:
That doesn't just create better inventory records — it gives you a better view of the business itself.
Vintro Pro was built for entrepreneurs who work with one-of-a-kind pieces — pieces you only have once, and that each need their own photo, price and description:
In short: for anyone working with pieces that exist only once — whether you find them, restore them or make them yourself — and who wants better oversight of their inventory, paperwork and margins.
New to Vintro Pro? What is Vintro Pro? sets out in plain words what the software does, what it does not do and what it costs.
We believe successful second-hand businesses don't need more admin. They need better processes.
When you know what you bought, where it is, what it cost, what margin it earns and how fast it sells — you make better decisions.
That's why Vintro Pro isn't just software. It's a way to bring structure to a business built on unique goods.
In that same spirit, we're also building a knowledge base for second-hand entrepreneurs, with practical insights on margin VAT, inventory management, stocktaking, administrative organisation and growing a second-hand business — because we believe better information leads to better business owners.

After Brexit the paperwork around international trade outgrew spreadsheets and loose notes. The problem was not the stock, but the lack of structure around that stock.
For dealers who work with one-off pieces: antique dealers, vintage shops, second-hand shops, charity shops, brocanteurs, art dealers and galleries, jewellery makers, furniture restorers and collectors.
Yes. We use Vintro Pro every day in our own antique business. What does not hold up in practice does not stay in it.
