Roline

What Roline does

Roline (legal entity ROLINE INTERNATIONALE SPEDITION s.r.o.) is a Czech private logistics company founded in April 1989 by Martin Záboj in what is now the Czech Republic. It is a founder-owned family business that has grown from a single Š 706 truck into a multi-modal transport and warehousing operator with roughly 200 employees, daily Czech Republic–France linehaul departures, and an international partner network reaching 80+ countries. Revenue is generated through six streams: international and domestic truck transport (own DAF and Volvo fleet supplemented by contractual partners), air and sea freight forwarding with customs clearance and bonded warehousing, the FOFR domestic piece and express consignment service operated through an eight-company association for Czech and Slovak coverage, 3PL logistics at the Cerhovice, Cheb and Rudná u Prahy warehouses (15,000 m² combined), and integrated fleet-support services including authorised Schwarzmüller and PANAV truck servicing, tyre service, truck wash, and the 24/7 AS 24 fuel station at the Truck Stop 606 facility in Cheb alongside driver accommodation.

The underlying technology stack is operationally oriented rather than differentiated: GPS-based fleet monitoring and dispatch coordination, plus the Netspedice client application for track-and-trace, sit on top of a KAIZEN continuous-improvement process framework. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused: 24/7 dispatch is staffed by specialised teams for international, domestic, air/sea, FOFR, and logistics/warehousing customers, the company states that 90% of customers work with Roline long-term, and named enterprise accounts include BWI Czech Republic (automotive), Vorwerk CS (manufacturing), and Texaco/Prista Oil Czech. The business model is transaction- and managed-service-fee based across all streams, with no public pricing. Multilingual capabilities (Czech, English, French corporate site and a French-speaking logistics manager) and ISO 9001:2008 certification from Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance support cross-border credibility with EU shippers.
