Be-Trans and DKV draw the digital transformation card

In the past years, Be-Trans from Geel, Belgium has been investing considerable amounts in varying IT-solutions. Apart from a highly efficient records department this also produced them the Truck ICT Award. Bert Vranckx, CEO of Be-Trans explains: “Be-Trans can boast an annual growth of 10 to 15 per cent. These are rather unusual figures for a transport firm, and I am convinced that this growth is thanks to our incessant investment in IT. Our records department for instance has been very much simplified and automated. Thanks to DKV eREPORTING we now dispose of a very versatile analysis tool for optimum control of all DKV transactions relating to our fleet. This is a tool that for instance makes it possible for us to easily monitor the fuel consumption of each individual truck and the tolls paid for the vehicle. It’s the figures that tell the tale after all. Obviously, calculations like these greatly contribute to our firm’s competitiveness, which also comes as a benefit to our customers.”

Gertjan Breij, Managing Director of DKV Euro Service Benelux is fully aware of the many technological challenges involved. What’s more, he expects the speed of these changes to only pick up. “No change, no progress. Also for the transport industry it is very important to keep on investing in automation of the organisation. This goes for optimal route planning and for all actions involving fleet management. It requires a little courage and some degree of IT-intelligence on the part of management, and Be-Trans is a prime example of this. So we are very proud of the fact that Be-Trans has chosen for our DKV eREPORTING tool to monitor its fleet effectiveness.”
