Neele-Vat 's strength lies in dynamic consolidation, the smart bundling of loads in real time so that trailers are optimally utilized. The process is as follows:
- Booking and order analysis
First, customers register their shipment via the Neele-Vat customer portal. Based on this data, the system automatically determines whether the cargo is suitable for groupage or fits better within an FTL trip.
- Cross-docking in Belgian hubs
Neele-Vat then collects the shipments in strategically located hubs such as Antwerp, Ghent or Liege. There, the team combines smaller volumes with other goods that follow the same route to Luxembourg.
- Smart route planning
Then the planning software calculates the most efficient route on a daily basis, regardless of whether it is via a full trailer (FTL) or a combined trip (groupage). Thanks to this approach, empty miles are kept to a minimum.
- Daily departures to Luxembourg
Every day, trucks depart from Belgium and the southern Netherlands via fixed corridors to Luxembourg City, Esch-sur-Alzette, Diekirch and Ettelbruck.
- Transit time: 12-24 hours on average.
- Frequency: daily, with additional departures at peak periods.
- Delivery and return loads
Finally, Neele-Vat delivers goods directly to distribution centers or end customers. On the way back, the team takes return shipments, packaging or empty pallets, keeping the rides efficient even in reverse.
