about cratebase

No. More. Workarounds.

When it comes to selling records online at scale, we feel your pain. As sellers ourselves, we understand the limitations of the current marketplaces and tools for pro sellers. We built Cratebase to help sellers like you ship orders faster with less hassle so you can focus on growing your business.

We're building towards enabling record stores, labels and sellers to manage inventory, sales and fulfilment across channels and marketplaces with the ease you may expect from technology today.

Headquartered in Amsterdam we're a diverse team based across Europe and our sellers ship from US, UK, Denmark, The Netherlands, Germany, France, Japan & more.
We're ready to work with sellers and shipping carriers around the world.
our story

Back to growth 📈

We’ve felt the frustration of selling records and other collectibles on platforms that aren’t set up to handle volume. With 10 years of selling + 15 years of building tech products and seller tools, we’re using our expertise to build a better future for record stores, labels and sellers.
‍
Rocking with the best: From day one, we partnered with the best in the industry who refuse to accept the status quo and strive to build an efficient business that scales. Are you one of those sellers? Reach out and join in!

Big plans ahead: The industry is evolving and so are we. With fulfillment and shipping sorted, Cratebase sellers focus on expanding channels, taking more of their operations back in-house and even offering fulfilment services to external partners. We’re committed to simplifying the full spectrum of operations and support sellers as they scale their business.

Crafted with Passion.

Founder Daniel Spijker combines his passion for music and technology to drive Cratebase's mission of supporting the physical music community. With extensive experience in collecting and selling music, a tech career at Facebook, building NearMint, and working at Discogs, he felt the need for better tools for physical music sales.

Together with his team and partnering with Vinyl.eu, he developed the prototype for Cratebase, focusing on streamlining fulfillment operations and slashing their time spent per order by 3x. Since that initial beta in 2022, Cratebase has added numerous integrations, carrier connections, its own international shipping service and onboarded many of the largest sellers around the world.

Daniel is dedicated to helping the Cratebase community of record stores, sellers, and labels grow and thrive.
