The new way of logistics
"We mapped out where the suppliers of Steel & Stockings are located," adds Joep van de Kamp. "Based on this, we created a route where all products ready for shipment are picked up immediately. This allows manufacturers to use their space much more efficiently. All products are stored at our facility in Druten, consolidated for orders, and then delivered to Steel & Stockings’ 200 dealers."
"In February 2023, we immediately started with this new approach. Now we can focus on creating beautiful things," says Lianne Smits. According to Joep van de Kamp, it took some time to figure out how to implement the new method, and both parties invested a lot of time in getting to know each other well. After an initial phase, the concept is now in place, and both parties are very satisfied with the result. Now that’s smart business.
