Built in Bruges, by someone who stands at the market herself. Stock, labels and margin VAT in one place — and free up to ten pieces.
There is plenty of stock software. Almost none of it is built for a trade where every piece exists only once.
Ordinary packages count on an article number that comes back a hundred times, and on a supplier who will deliver the same thing tomorrow. In the antiques, vintage and brocante trade neither is true. So almost everyone falls back on Excel — and that list breaks quietly as it grows.
Vintro Pro is built for that. Not by a software company looking at the trade from the outside, but from a shop on the Grote Moerstraat in Bruges, alongside the ordinary work of buying, restoring and selling.
Bruges is where it started, not who it is for. Vintro Pro works for any dealer in one-off pieces — in Ghent, Antwerp or Liège just as much as in the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom. This page describes the Bruges trade; the system itself is tied to no city.
Photos, dimensions, condition, buying price and asking price. You enter it once, and everything below reads from that same record.
Print to a Zebra or to a portable Bluetooth printer — from your phone, without a computer. At the market you scan that code at the sale instead of retyping a number.
Belgium requires three registers for trading in second-hand goods, and the margin scheme requires complete records with the purchase and sales invoices behind them. If the tax office cannot establish your margins from your books, VAT is due on the full selling price instead of on your margin. How that scheme works exactly, and what has to go in your register per piece.
Tick a piece and it appears on the marketplace, with a description in Dutch, French and English. Bruges draws buyers from across Europe; they would rather read their own language.
Bruges is not a random place for this trade. The city has a dense concentration of antique and brocante shops, a steady stream of visitors who come specifically for it, and dealers who know each other from the same markets and auctions.
That changes what software has to be able to do. You do not only sell in the shop: you stand at markets, you do the occasional auction, and you sell online to someone in France or the United Kingdom. Each of those routes has its own paperwork — and it all has to come out of the same stock list, or your margin will not add up at the end of the quarter.
Then the rules diverge. The Netherlands asks for an opkopersregister, France a livre de police, the United Kingdom a stock book — and the thresholds above which you become liable for VAT differ sharply. In the knowledge base there is an article per country, with every figure checked against the government source itself.
Free up to ten pieces in stock. No card details, and no trial that runs out. Anyone with a small shop or a market stall can keep using it indefinitely.
Above that it is 19,99 € per month excluding VAT, per business — with unlimited pieces and unlimited colleagues. The full pricing page.
Try it with your own pieces. No card details are needed and you can keep using it free up to ten pieces.
Rather talk it through first? That works too — I answer myself.
Most use Excel or a paper ledger. Ordinary stock software does not fit, because it counts on article numbers that come back and on suppliers who deliver the same thing again. In the antique and vintage trade every piece exists only once. Vintro Pro was built for that, by a dealer from Bruges.
Yes. Belgium requires three registers for trading in second-hand goods, and the margin scheme additionally requires watertight records with the purchase and sales invoices behind them. If the tax authorities cannot work your margins out of your books, VAT is due on the full selling price instead of on your margin.
Free up to ten pieces in stock, without a card number and without an end date. Above that, 19.99 euro per month excluding VAT per business, with unlimited pieces and colleagues.
