e-CMR in fruit and vegetables: Kraaijeveld customer case

Kraaijeveld Groente en Fruit B.V. supplies fresh fruit and vegetables to gastronomic wholesalers, processing industry and retail. This family business in Maasland transports the containers from various ports to the Kraaijeveld warehouse itself. The orders for the customers are put together there. These orders are handled by our own transport department and various transporters.

Kraaijeveld wanted to work with e-CMR because there is now a lot of paperwork. The only question was where to start. Leo Molendijk, project manager at Kraaijeveld, says: “On the advice of Collect + Go, we chose to first apply it to the incoming flow. Our drivers and planners were immediately enthusiastic about tackling it this way. This way we can gain experience in a first stream. We can then gradually roll out to the front of our company.”

Fast implementation

Collect + Go quickly implemented the new working method. Molendijk says: “After concluding the contract, we were up and running within two months. The integration with our Business Central ERP package went smoothly and was completed within a few weeks. During the training we immediately saw how it works in practice. Drivers and planners now experience that they are much more flexible. For example, drivers no longer have to drive past Maasland to collect their paperwork. Planners can now make last minute changes that were previously more difficult.”

Security and compliance

In addition to sustainability, data security and compliance with laws and regulations were very important. Molendijk: “We collect goods in the port of Rotterdam. Collect + Go already works with parties that add extra security to the process for collecting and returning containers. This is important, because it puts us ahead of smart integrations that are already being used on other terminals. With the e-CMR recognition from the Benelux authorities, we are compliant with laws and regulations. The ISO27001 certification offers comfort in the field of data security.”

Further rollout

Because e-CMR Kraaijeveld provides important benefits, the application of Collect + Go will be further implemented in the near future. Molendijk: “e-CMR is also interesting for our transporters and customers. We will soon coordinate with them to also digitize the outgoing flow.”
