Transportation, trade and logistics

Netherlands-Transportland. Along with Germany, the Netherlands is one of the best transportation countries in Europe. Our central location and the international nature of our economy guarantee a competitive market position worldwide.

Improve the efficiency of your organization

The Netherlands has a good road and rail network, a major airport and, last but not least, a good waterway network. However, all these things are no longer enough to permanently compete at the top level. Efficient processes within organizations are critical to maintaining this top position in the coming years.

In a relatively short time, many new challenges have emerged. Just think one of green city distribution, smart warehouses, even faster delivery, ever-decreasing margins due to pressure on selling prices, resistance to landscape dumbing down, road safety and bicycle couriers. But also the continuous quest to respond to laws and regulations where safety and the environment are concerned, expansion, innovation and the utilization of resources are on the agenda at many organizations active in Transport, Trade and Logistics.

Symbol has already helped numerous organizations within this industry improve processes. Symbol is also the right party when it comes to increasing your customer satisfaction, making your data transparent, and lowering your lead times.
