Context & challenge

Many companies work with multiple partners for warehousing and transportation. This can lead to miscommunication, delays and lack of transparency. At a time when customers expect short delivery times, real-time information and flawless service, this can be a major risk. Companies therefore need a logistics partner that offers warehousing and transportation under one roof fully integrated and digitally supported.

How does Neele-Vat combine warehousing and transport?

Strategic locations

With warehouses in Rotterdam, Zeebrugge and Venlo, among other places, storage and distribution are optimally linked to ocean freight, air freight, rail and road transport. This enables rapid switching to all European markets.

Direct link with transport planning

Orders processed in the warehouse are automatically forwarded to the transport management system. As a result, there is no loss of time between order picking and shipping.

Cross-docking and fulfillment

Cross-docking allows goods to be loaded onto trucks directly from the warehouse, without lengthy storage. For e-commerce and retail, fulfillment is linked to fast distribution channels.

Customs clearance

With its own customs departments and bonded warehouses, shipments are cleared quickly and flawlessly, so transportation is not delayed.

Digital integration

Thanks to modern Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Transport Management Systems (TMS), customers have real-time insight into both inventory and transportation status.

Value Added Logistics (VAL)

Services such as labeling, repacking and assembly are directly linked to transport, so that products go to market in the right shape and packaging.
