About New Black

We are just a bunch of NERDS, transforming the world of (e)commerce with our truly unique Contextual Commerce platform, called EVA. Our purpose is to help globally operating brands and retailers to become adaptive to change.   EVA is the engine that powers digital retail solutions, a secure, cloud-based platform that is setup to improve the consumer experience. We facilitate flexible infrastructure, enable digital transformation, and help our customers deliver a true unified experience and functionality to their customers faster and smarter. We work for leading brands and retailers such as Dyson, Rituals, Intersport, AFC Ajax, G-Star, Kiko Milano, and others.

Our philosophy

New Black, is a company like no other. That is a promise. We believe that work is about more than getting paid for your effort. We have implemented holacracy in our company and we cut the crap so you don't have to report to a manager. We align with each other, but we don't report in one direction. It helps us to be faster and more adaptive to change. But we don’t take it easy. We work hard and the next thing’s always lined up; we don’t take our success for granted. 

New Black is more than a software company; we are a next-generation platform transforming the world of (e)commerce, a company full of passionate people who love what we do and how we do it. 

New Black is very ambitious; we are profitable and fully bootstrapped (no investors, no debts). This is incredibly important in providing us the freedom to shape our company the way we see fit. 

New Black wholly owns its intellectual property; this allows us to make our own decisions about our products and provides us with the freedom to create the best product with the latest technology. 

New Black has entered selective strategic partnerships with best-in-class global brands like Apple, Microsoft, Adyen, Deloitte to create an ecosystem for global expansion and sustainable success.
