"Versteijnen has always been part of the forefront of our sector"

Another priority at Versteijnen is connectivity. ”When it comes to this subject matter, we’re at the forefront. ‘Connectivity’ basically means that we try to share the order data with our clients as much as possible. We do so by equipping our trucks with the latest software.”

Both clients and private individuals benefit greatly from this software. ”We want to get to the point where customers immediately know when orders are delayed, because the driver is stuck in traffic for example. In the distribution sector, this kind of software is already available for full truckloads: trucks with just one unloading address. At Versteijnen, we transport truckloads with different unloading addresses in one trailer. This type of shared distribution is still in full development. Therefore, it’s not widely used in the distribution industry yet, though we try to stay at the forefront.”

Why is Versteijnen this invested in such innovative projects? According to Anton, the answer is simple. “We’re very practical. If a client approaches us with a challenge, we’re keen to solve it. We skip the lengthy, tiring corporate trajectories and instead tackle the challenge and get the job done. This approach signals our active attitude and shows our willingness to go above and beyond. A method that matches perfectly with our motto: feel free to grow.”
