I&L Logistiek

What I&L Logistiek does

I&L Logistiek is a Dutch temperature-controlled logistics specialist headquartered in Tilburg, founded in 1995, that claims to have coined the term 'Koelkoerier' (cold courier). The company operates an owned fleet of refrigerated and frozen vehicles ranging from small vans to tractor-trailers, with multi-temperature cargo capability from -30°C to +30°C and real-time temperature sensors feeding a Control Tower with deviation alerts. Its service portfolio spans ad-hoc and scheduled courier services (Koelkoerier, Vrieskoerier), fine-meshed chilled and frozen parcel distribution across the Netherlands and Belgium, pan-European express transport up to 30 tonnes, GDP-compliant pharmaceutical logistics, crossdock and warehousing (six temperature-conditioned cells in Tilburg), e-fulfilment via the I&L Shopping platform, urban distribution through the I&L CITY concept, and a Planning-as-a-Service offering.

The technology stack includes telematics and on-board computers, AI-powered dashcams integrated with the Be Safe, Drive Smart safety programme, the PTV AxyLog ETA portal for live shipment tracking, and a transition from the legacy TMS to the Qargo TMS for order entry, ETA displays, and invoicing. Order intake is supported through a web portal, XML/SFTP, Excel templates, phone, and email. The company holds a layered regulatory and compliance stack including FSSC-22000, SKAL-BIO, GDP, PayChecked in Transport, NVWA food and CAT-2/CAT-3 animal byproduct registrations, and a NIWO transport licence.

The business model is transaction-fee driven: revenue is generated per shipment on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go basis, with additional income from storage, order picking, and managed planning services. Go-to-market is sales-led via a dedicated Sales & Advice department serving B2B customers in food & beverage, pharmaceutical & healthcare, production & manufacturing, retail & hospitality, education, marketing/brand activation, and laboratory/research verticals. Distribution is direct through the owned fleet and the Tilburg crossdock hub, supported by 23+ regional offices across the Netherlands. Named enterprise customers include Albert Heijn, FrieslandCampina, and Bonheur Horeca Groep, with public claims of 99.2% delivery success and 98% temperature-critical shipments.
