The company monetises through a combination of subscription/recurring software licences and consultancy/professional services for implementation, integration and managed services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales, with prospects able to request demos, quotes or appointments and engagement handled by named logistics sales staff. Named enterprise customers span large Dutch and European retailers (HelloFresh, Action, Bol.com, HEMA, Colruyt, Kruidvat, Rituals, ICI Paris XL) and 3PL/terminal operators (Eurogate, Contship Italia, Seacon Logistics, Röhlig Penske Logistics, ECT DELTA), with the brand portfolio operating as part of a five-brand ICT Logistics roll-up (alongside ICT Transport & Logistics, ICT Incore, Modality and MobileNXT) under a parent (ICT Group) that has undergone delisting.
