Our approach
How we keep your logistics moving
Systems available day and night
Your planning, TMS or WMS must not go down. We set up your environment so that an outage in one place does not immediately bring everything to a halt.
- A backup connection if the internet line goes down
- Continuous monitoring of network and systems
- Maintenance at times that do not affect operations
- Agreements on priority during outages
Drivers and warehouse well connected
Drivers, planners and warehouse staff work with phones, tablets and handheld scanners. They must always work, and be secure.
- Phones, tablets and scanners managed centrally
- A Wi-Fi network with full coverage in the warehouse
- New devices set up quickly and automatically
- A lost device can be locked remotely
Reliable links with clients and partners
Orders, status updates and invoices increasingly flow automatically between your systems and those of clients and partners. These links must be reliable and secure.
- A stable network and a reliable internet connection
- Secure access for external parties
- Coordination with your software suppliers
- Alerts when a connection falters
Protected against an attack that halts the supply chain
A cyberattack can hit your business, and your clients and partners too. With good security and an immutable backup, you limit that risk.
- Modern security on all devices
- Two-step verification for all accounts
- An immutable backup as a safety net
- Security requirements of clients and supply chain partners met
Prepared for an outage
If something does go wrong, you don't want to have to think about what to do. With a continuity plan, everyone knows what happens and what needs to work again first.
- A plan with clear priorities
- Agreements on how long recovery may take
- An offline list of contacts
- Practising together once a year
Continuity
What if the internet connection goes down?
This is how we make sure an outage does not bring your operations to a halt.
Plan an introduction- 04:30
Planning starts the day
Planners and drivers start early. Planning, TMS and the links with clients are running as normal.
- 04:32
The main connection drops
Due to an outage at the provider, the internet line goes down. The backup connection takes over automatically, so work carries on.
- 04:35
The outage is reported automatically
Monitoring registers the outage and creates a ticket. That way we know exactly what happened.
- 08:00
Resolved, without downtime
We resolve the outage together with the provider and switch back to the main connection. Nobody was affected.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about IT for transport and logistics
Is your question not listed? Feel free to call us, we are happy to think along with you.
How do I prevent downtime during an IT outage?
By duplicating critical components, such as a backup connection alongside your main connection, and by continuously monitoring your systems. We also draw up a continuity plan, so everyone knows what to do if something does go wrong.
Can handheld scanners and tablets be managed centrally?
Yes. We manage phones, tablets and scanners centrally, so they are set up automatically, stay up to date and can be locked remotely if they are lost.
What happens if our planning software goes down?
We agree with your software supplier who does what during an outage. If we look after the environment around it, we resolve it or bring in the supplier. A continuity plan makes clear in advance how you can carry on in the meantime.
How do I secure links with clients and partners?
By limiting external access to what is really needed, encrypting connections and flagging anything unusual. That way the links stay reliable, without your network being wide open.
Do you also look after the environment around our TMS or WMS?
Yes. We make sure your TMS and WMS run on a stable, well-monitored and secure environment, with reliable connections to clients and partners. For how the software package itself works, we coordinate with your software supplier.
