ViaZuidWest

What ViaZuidWest does

ViaZuidWest (legal entity Viazuidwest B.V.) is a Dutch-certified occupational health service (arbodienst) that provides absenteeism management, reintegration support, and personnel risk management to SMB employers in the Netherlands. Its core service, Arbodienstverlening, bundles casemanagement, deployment of BIG-registered company doctors, and first- and second-track reintegration (spoor 1 en spoor 2) under the Wet Verbetering Poortwachter, supplemented by labor expert assessments (Arbeidsdeskundig Onderzoek), risk inventories (RI&E), function-specific and preventive medical examinations (PAGO/PMO), and personnel risk covers such as verzuimverzekering advisory and Eigen Risico Dragen WGA/Ziektewet. The firm is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001 certified and holds the legally required Certificaat Arbodiensten, which is mandatory for serving Dutch SMB employers who fall under the vangnetregeling safety net arrangement.

The company operates a SaaS Platform that supports the processing and exchange of personal data between employers, employees, healthcare providers, and advisors, with role-based access, two-factor authentication, and firewall protections; it also runs a Verlengde arm constructie (delegated authority model) in which case managers perform selected tasks under the company doctor's supervision. Service delivery is anchored in five physical offices and consultation locations across Zeeland (Goes, Middelburg, Terneuzen, Zierikzee, Gorinchem) with a nationwide network of cooperating company doctors enabling consultation locations across the Netherlands.

Commercial mechanics are subscription-based: the entry-level Verrichtingenpakket is priced at €33.60 per employee per year (2026 tariff) and the comprehensive All Inn Pakket at €155.25 per employee per year, with additional services (Arbeidsdeskundig Onderzoek at €995 per assessment, PAGO/PMO, RI&E, coaching, mediation, training) billed separately on a pay-as-you-go or quote basis. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting MKB (SMB) employers in the Netherlands with a small dedicated case manager per client, supported by content marketing around Dutch labor law (Arbowet, Wet Verbetering Poortwachter) and partnerships with insurance companies that bundle verzuimverzekering with ViaZuidWest's occupational health services. The firm employs 1-10 people internally and relies on a network of BIG-registered company doctors and specialists for clinical capacity.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• BKV: Dutch HR and healthcare services provider with occupational health and absenteeism management offerings. Comparable customer base of Dutch employers with broader staffing and HR services portfolio.
• HumanTotalCare (HumanCapitalCare): Large Dutch occupational health and absenteeism player within the broader HR services market. Overlaps with ViaZuidWest's arbodienst core but typically bundles services for enterprise clients with broader HR and case management offerings.

Direct peers

• ArboNed: The largest certified arbodienst in the Netherlands, offering end-to-end occupational health, absenteeism management, and company doctor services. Directly comparable in core service offering but operates at national scale with a much larger employer footprint than ViaZuidWest's regional SMB focus.
• Ardyn: Dutch certified arbodienst providing absenteeism management, company doctor services, and reintegration support. Comparable mid-sized occupational health service model targeting Dutch employers with similar compliance positioning.
• Zorg van de Zaak: National Dutch arbodienst providing absenteeism guidance, company doctor deployment, reintegration support, and RI&E. Comparable certified service portfolio serving Dutch employers across verticals and geographies.

Emerging players

• Mijn Loonproces: Dutch digital-first HR services platform addressing SMB employer needs including absenteeism workflows. Compares as a tech-enabled, SMB-focused entrant overlapping with ViaZuidWest's target customer base but with a SaaS-led rather than service-led delivery model.
• Heldergroen: Smaller Dutch occupational health and absenteeism services provider serving regional SMB employers. Comparable scale and target segment to ViaZuidWest, offering similar arbodienst and case management services with a local presence.

Regional players

• Stigas: Sector-specific arbodienst focused on agricultural and green sector employers in the Netherlands. Comparable certified arbodienst model with absenteeism management and company doctor deployment, but concentrated in a specific vertical rather than horizontal SMB focus.
