Base Logistics

What Base Logistics does

Base Logistics is a Netherlands-based, privately-held logistics service provider founded in 1994 in Dordrecht and now headquartered at Logistic Boulevard 5 in Klundert (Port of Moerdijk). The company delivers time-critical and mission-critical B2B logistics for the High-Tech, Healthcare (Medtech/BioPharma), and Field Service verticals, with core service modules spanning Transport Management, Warehouse Management, Control Tower, Customs & Compliance, Exception Management, and Value Added Services. Specialized offerings include Service Parts Logistics with global network coverage and Benelux Innight Logistics for overnight parts distribution supported by an outsourced European partner network.

The operational backbone is Klairy, a proprietary in-house logistics application that provides real-time shipment visibility, exception management, and value-added activity tracking through a secure customer portal. Klairy functions as the integration layer across transport and warehouse operations and is positioned as the company's primary technology differentiator versus competitors reliant on third-party TMS/WMS platforms. The company operates state-of-the-art warehousing at Port of Moerdijk alongside a smaller Dordrecht presence, delivering both in-house and outsourced distribution center solutions.

Base Logistics generates revenue through managed-services contracts with enterprise B2B customers, with pricing determined via consultative 'Talk to a specialist' engagement rather than published rates. The company executes a sales-led GTM targeting premium, high-performance environments where reliability, visibility, and speed are decisive buying criteria. It is a founding entity of the privately-held Base Logistics Group, alongside sister companies HealthLink Europe (healthcare/medtech logistics, acquired 2017) and Special Logistic Services (SLS), enabling cross-vertical supply chain solutions. The group is backed by Waterland Private Equity (investment dated 2016), and founder Robin Voet serves as CEO.
