How Vebatrans keeps its transport operations flexible when almost every journey is ad hoc and every minute counts

The Challenge

At Vebatrans, trucks are rarely at a standstill. Transport assignments change continuously, and drivers need to receive new instructions immediately while on the road. This requires an on-board computer that responds quickly, provides accurate truck navigation and enables seamless communication with the planning department.

Vebatrans also wanted to further automate its administrative processes and minimise manual data entry.

“Every minute counts in transport. Our trucks are rarely at a standstill.”
— Roelof Hakvoort, Vebatrans 

The Solution

Vebatrans opted for Rietveld’s latest Efficio VT7PRO on-board computer. The combination of powerful hardware, integrated TomTom Truck Navigation and a direct connection to the Transport Management System ensures that drivers always have access to up-to-date trip information. 

EasyTacho and EasyHours were also integrated, enabling tachograph data to be processed automatically and working hours to be recorded entirely digitally.

Workshop employees also record their hours digitally, creating one integrated process for the entire organisation.

 “We aim to minimise our dependence on suppliers so that we can get our trucks up and running quickly.” 

The Results

By integrating the Efficio VT7PRO with its TMS, Vebatrans has real-time insight into trips, vehicles and drivers.

Administrative processes have been significantly simplified, as working hours and tachograph data are processed automatically. Handwritten lists are now a thing of the past, and payroll processing is clearer and more efficient.

New vehicles can also be put into service more quickly because Vebatrans’ own employees have been trained to carry out installations independently.

 “Thanks to the training provided by Rietveld, our own employees can equip additional trucks themselves.” 

Developing solutions together with Rietveld

For Vebatrans, the partnership involves more than simply supplying an on-board computer.

Having its own technicians certified by Rietveld enables Vebatrans to scale up quickly without depending on external parties. Direct communication, practical support and a flexible approach are well suited to the dynamic nature of the company.
