Success story

Cornelissen Group

Cornelissen Group was the first carrier to fully utilize the functionalities of the Simacan Control Tower. This innovative partnership gives Cornelissen a comprehensive, real-time overview of all trips for their various clients (shippers), enabling seamless and efficient logistics operations.

Cornelissen: pioneer in digital logistics

Transport company Cornelissen is a modern family firm that believes in the power of progressive logistics, with heart for staff and customers. Everything revolves around high-quality time-driven operations that respond to customer needs. Cornelissen currently has 1200 employees and a fleet of over 500 trucks. Cornelissen’s customers are primarily in the retail and pharmaceutical sectors, consisting of various organizations that deal with high quality transport and storage, such as Albert Heijn, AS Watson (Kruidvat), Jumbo, KarftHeinz and Novartis.

Partnership with Simacan: driving digital transformation

In the logistics sector, challenges like sustainability, energy transition, and technological innovation are paramount. Cornelissen seeks partners who not only inspire but also drive digital transformation. Simacan is such a partner.
Mark van der Drift, CEO Cornelissen: “Simacan is exactly the kind of partner who thinks with Cornelissen about how processes and customer contact can be significantly improved, which in turn moves the organization up the value chain. That is for a family business like Cornelissen, who also goes for continuity, of course very important.

Simacan: a foundation for collaboration

To foster effective collaboration among all parties in the transport chain, Cornelissen relies on the Simacan platform. The platform connects public and governmental data with Cornelissen’s customer data, creating enriched and actionable insights. Van der Drift emphasizes the value of working with Simacan: “I have found Simacan to be extremely innovative from day one, even when we were only using the Simacan Satellites via our clients. Really an example of a company coming up with solutions you didn’t even know existed, focused on cooperation. Cornelissen brings in practical cases and then the clever minds at Simacan get to work and come up with wonderful solutions.”

Transport asset view: a co-creation success

One of the most notable results of the collaboration between Cornelissen and Simacan is the Transport Asset View, a solution that digitizes and elevates logistics operations. With this asset status view Cornelissen gets insight into the daily schedule and availability of its drivers. That way it is easy to relate trucks, trailers, or drivers to trips and shipments. Cornelissen has insights at a glance into the planned versus actual status of all their transport operations. Scheduling conflicts are clearly marked and thus easy to notice.

Added value for carriers

Cornelissen values innovative technology that integrates seamlessly with existing systems like onboard computers and fleet management systems. Simacan’s solutions ensure that technological innovations are easy to implement, avoiding the need for system overhauls.

Mark van der Drift: “Simacan has also understood the customer value of the customer’s customer. Both should be made as easy as possible. Notifying consumers in a home delivery operation, for example, contributes enormously to that. This creates a much greater added value for Cornelissen in terms of technological innovations and sustainability.”
