Sustainability & Efficiency – Hand in Hand
Vlot Logistics, a family business with over 125 years of experience in the logistics industry, continues to innovate. With a wide range of services, from B2C and B2B transport to zero-emission construction logistics and storage, the company has long been a leader in sustainability and innovation. And with the growing demand for efficiency in a rapidly changing market, Vlot Logistics decided to further digitize and optimize its internal processes.
For this, the logistics service provider chose Boltrics’ Warehouse Management System (WMS), 3PL Dynamics. A solution that not only supports the sustainability of their fleet but also elevates their operations. According to Supply Chain Manager Shon Partapsing, the WMS has helped streamline their processes, reducing waste and increasing efficiency.
“Where we used to need more time to prepare one order, we now process multiple orders from different customers in the same time.”

The results speak for themselves: both the warehouse and the back office now operate significantly more efficiently. Operations Manager Erik Vonk adds that the system minimizes errors, ensuring that orders are always processed correctly and completely. This allows Vlot Logistics to continue prioritizing quality for their customers with the same amount of resources and staff.
Additionally, digitization has great benefits for Vlot Logistics’ customers. Thanks to the advanced scanning process, the WMS offers full traceability. “Our customers can view their inventory directly and maintain control over their logistics processes,” explains Erik. This transparency fosters trust and convenience.
But it goes beyond just efficiency and error reduction. Vlot Logistics also uses 3PL Dynamics to offer customer-specific services. An example of this is Value Added Logistics (VAL), where additional activities such as packing can be easily integrated into the processes. “Our goal is to unburden our customers completely, and thanks to the system’s flexibility, we can offer each customer a customized solution,” says Shon.
With this step towards further digitization and a customer-oriented way of working, Vlot Logistics not only remains relevant in a competitive market but also strengthens its reputation as a sustainable, reliable partner in the logistics sector.
