What Xwift does

Xwift bv is a privately held Belgian transport and logistics company headquartered in Nazareth, founded in 2007 by Pieter Denys. It operates an asset-heavy, vertically integrated model combining its own fleet of 825 vehicles (including specialised refrigerated/Carrier-cooled, ADR-certified, Moffett-equipped, and container/reefer units), a 50,000 m² warehouse network across 14 Belgian sites, and a fully in-house driver pool of 800+ employees, alongside 130+ office staff, 15+ vehicle technicians, and 30+ warehouse workers. Core service lines are Dedicated Transport, Express Transport, 24-hour BeNeLux Distribution, a Control Tower offering that fully outsources customers' transport operations, and Warehousing & Value-Added Logistics (storage, order picking, cross-docking, co-packing, labelling).

Underlying technology consists of a proprietary Control Tower platform providing real-time track-and-trace, route optimization and bundling to minimise empty kilometres, photographic proof-of-delivery, and centralised exception management, complemented by an Eco-Drive coaching system that has driven a 6% fleet fuel reduction since 2018 and an ATP-FRC-certified refrigerated fleet with Datacold temperature printers. No public API, SDK, or developer-facing integration is offered, and no AI/ML-native capabilities are disclosed; analytical capabilities sit under an Analytics & Operational Strategy Director.

Commercial operations run on a sales-led, direct B2B go-to-market: six Senior Account Managers run enterprise relationships (e.g., TVH, Frager, Aliplast, Antargaz, Thribe, Martens Hout), supported by an Inside Sales team and a website order form for SMB and transactional requests. Pricing is entirely quote-based per assignment, with dedicated contracts offering exclusivity at a fixed price. Revenue is generated across transport fees, warehousing storage and per-activity handling charges, and managed-services revenue from Control Tower outsourcing; the company states €135M in revenue and 800+ customers, with a 90% repeat-order rate across manufacturing, retail, wholesale, gas/chemical (ADR), time-sensitive, and warehousing-outsourcing segments in Belgium and Europe.
