Cornelissen Group

In the transport sector, one runs against the necessary challenges, such as sustainability in energy transition and working smarter with the help of technology and innovation. Cornelissen looks for partners who inspire for the digital transformation and with whom they can implement innovative changes together. And that partner Cornelissen has found in Simacan.

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.

All parties in the transport chain should cooperate with each other, where it adds something. For effective collaboration, a platform is needed where there is an opportunity to connect, including through data. That is why Cornelissen is interested in solutions such as Simacan's, where public data and government data can be linked to connect and enrich one's own customer data.

Mark van der Drift on the cooperation 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."

The transport asset view is a great result of the partnership between Cornelissen and Simacan. Co-creation brings ideas from both sides together and the digitalisation of a carrier to a higher level.

With this new view, Cornelissen gets insight into the daily schedule and availability of its drivers. With this view, it is easy to relate trucks, trailers, or drivers to trips and shipments. Cornelissen now 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.

For Cornelissen it is important that innovative technology can also be applied to existing solutions such as current onboard computers and FMS. Therefore, they are very pleased with the functionalities last mile guidance and safety warnings in the Simacan Control Tower to support the driver, without having to replace all board computers.

The Simacan Control Tower has added value for transporters in the field of:

• Safety by means of Last Mile Guidance and Safety Warnings;
• Available data (planned and realised data);
• Integral approach to data analysis and optimisation of processes;
• Focus on post trip (administrative trip processing), among others by the management connection with e-CMR suppliers via the Simacan Platform;
• The transition from data to information and the approach to do this together;
• Increasing customer value.

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."
