Arox ICT Solutions

What Arox ICT Solutions does

Arox ICT Solutions B.V. is a Dutch privately held software company founded in 2005 by Arno Bruining and headquartered in Hoogezand, Groningen, with a second office in Groningen. The company develops and implements custom-built logistics management software consisting of four integrated modules: a Warehouse Management System (WMS), Transport Management System (TMS), Douane/Customs Management System (DMS), and Financial Management System (FMS). Every solution is configured to the exact processes of each customer — no standardised packages are sold — and the platform is positioned for scalability from small warehouses to facilities up to 150,000 m². Arox has a wholly-owned software subsidiary, ScanSolutions, and a sister company, Arox Smart Technologies, which commercialises hardware-software innovations including smart glasses for hands-free order picking and 5G-connected drones for autonomous inventory counting.

The company's customer base is concentrated in the Netherlands with international deployments in Sweden, the United States and Canada, and spans logistics service providers, e-commerce and retail operations, international traders, and transport companies. The WMS underpins most deployments, with cross-sell into TMS/DMS/FMS for customers such as Schavemaker. Arox's go-to-market is a consultative, direct enterprise field-sales motion with bespoke proposals; revenue is generated through custom software licensing (one-time) and recurring professional services and support. Marketing is primarily content-driven via an innovation blog, customer case studies, trade press, and conference participation, supported by LinkedIn and Facebook. The company is an official Zebra Technologies hardware partner and has won Dutch innovation recognition (MKB Innovatie Top 100 2017, Accenture Innovation Awards 2016 nomination, WBSO acknowledgement). Arox operates with a lean team of 11 employees that claims over 100 years of combined logistics experience, and is founder-led with no external institutional investors identified.
