Venlogistics

What Venlogistics does

Venlogistics BV is a privately held Dutch freight forwarder and logistics orchestrator founded in 2006 (originally as Steenbergen Expeditie BV, renamed on May 1, 2010) and headquartered in Venlo, Netherlands. The company operates a six-service portfolio: Groupage (consolidation of shipments from 1 kg to 2,400 kg across multiple European consolidation points), Forwarding (FTL and LTL), Drop 'n Stop (a third-party drop-off and consolidation service at Venlo for shipments up to 3 pallets), Dangerous Goods Transport under ADR certification across most European countries, Express/Spoed Transport including overnight guaranteed delivery, and Warehousing with cross-dock facilities in Venlo and partner network coverage across Europe. Its customer base spans three primary mid-market segments: logistics service providers, manufacturers with their own transport needs, and transport companies seeking flexible capacity for smaller shipments.

The underlying technology is a Transport Management System (TMS) with linked modules for cargo tracking, direct carrier communication, and load optimization, exposed to customers through the Statusweb web portal for online booking and real-time shipment tracking from origin to delivery. Venlogistics does not own transport assets at scale; instead it acts as a transport conductor, aggregating demand and matching it to a network of reliable carriers, subcontractors, and local final-mile partners. Strategic partnerships underpin network reach, including SIM-Cargo for 24-hour overnight delivery in Germany, Schreurs Ex-Tra for combined logistics expertise, and regional partners (Steenberg Transport, TBT Logistic in Romania, JDS, FNOI, ASLB, In2Solutions, and Supply Chain Valley) for country-specific execution.

The business model is transaction-fee based: pricing is quote-driven per shipment, determined by destination, weight, volume, service level, and surcharges (e.g., for ADR), with no publicly disclosed price list. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, executed by experienced expediënten (forwarders) supported by the Statusweb self-service portal and quote-request forms on the corporate website. The company operates with approximately 12 team members across planning, sales, accounting, and administration, currently hiring for additional expediting and customer service capacity. The company is owner-managed by Ron Decker (CEO/Owner) and Rob Flos (General Manager/Owner), with no external institutional investors or funding rounds disclosed.
