What Go4logistics does

Go4Logistics NV is a Belgian software company founded in 2010 and headquartered at Noorderlaan 147/30 in the Port of Antwerp, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cronos Groep — the largest IT group in Belgium with more than 9,000 employees, 750+ operating companies, 25 locations across Benelux, Germany, Austria, Spain and the US, and €982 million of consolidated revenue in 2021. The company's core product is Go4TMS, a cloud-based Transport Management System built natively on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Microsoft Dynamics NAV) that manages and schedules shipments across road, water, rail and air, with modules for order management, planning and execution, invoicing, and a deep vertical layer for container, groupage and distribution, tank, short sea, inland waterway (barge) and intermodal transport.

The product is monetized through monthly cloud subscriptions, one-time implementation and training fees, and tiered support contracts (standard 9:00-17:30 plus an extended 6:00-22:00 SLA with standby fees and out-of-hours surcharges). Add-on modules include Go4Reporting (Power BI-based analytics), a renewed customer-facing Web Portal for order entry and status tracking, an Order Material Module for empties management, a Cross-Dock Scanning Solution for groupage operations, and a Customer Portal for support ticketing. Distribution is augmented by a Danish reseller (D&P Solutions), an implementation partnership with Ultimo for EAM-customer cross-sale, and integrations with Trimble onboard computers, Transics fleet management, Suivo mobile apps, PTV route optimization, Continia document capture, T-Mining blockchain-based Secure Container Release, NxtPort Certified Pick Up and PSA/DP World TAR/TAS terminal booking systems.

The company operates a sales-led, enterprise field-sales motion anchored on demo booking and direct engagement with transport and logistics prospects, layered with participation in industry events such as Transport & Logistics at Antwerp Expo. The customer base is enterprise within the transport and logistics vertical — including DD trans, VRD Group, Van Moer Logistics, Xwift, Collitax and Molenbergnatie — geographically distributed across Belgium, Netherlands, France, Denmark and Germany. Headcount is stated as 11-50 employees; leadership is a CEO-CTO tandem of Veerle Goossens and co-founder Joeri Lyssens (since February 2020), with a Sales & Marketing Manager (Luc van Put) appointed in March 2023 to support cross-border expansion.
