PakrWho we build for

We build for a narrow slice of the market

Warehousing, fulfilment and contract logistics with a warehouse of your own, a WMS that runs and work around it that is still done by hand. What AI should do for you, we do not know in advance. Within this profile we do know where to look.

What we look at

Sector

Warehousing, fulfilment and contract logistics, cold storage included.

The warehouse runs for other companies. Every agreement is on paper and can be checked.

Size

From fifty people on the floor.

From fifty people on the floor, manual work can no longer be kept up. Bigger is always fine, thousands of people included.

Systems

A WMS that runs, plus Excel, email and PDF around it.

The WMS is where the work has to land. What happens by hand next to the WMS today is what we build.

Orders

Orders arrive as email, PDF or Excel.

Retyping costs hours and causes errors. It is usually the first piece we pick up.

Clients

Several clients or carriers, each with their own file or connection.

Every new client means a new connection today. We build that once and properly.

This is usually where it is decided

  1. Question 01

    Where does most of your manual time go: orders, hours, invoices or documents?

  2. Question 02

    Which systems run today: WMS, TMS, ERP, time registration?

We ask these two questions in the first five minutes. If it does not fit, you hear that at the end of that call.

What is coming at you over the next two years

The admission scheme for staffing agencies (Wtta)

On 1 January 2027 the Dutch admission scheme for labour providers, the Wtta, comes into force. From 1 January 2028 it is enforced. From then on you may only hire through admitted staffing agencies. You have to check that yourself in a public register, and otherwise you risk a fine. So the administration around hiring has to get tighter anyway. You may as well have it right at once.

40.9 per cent

In transport and storage, 40.9 per cent of companies name the labour shortage as the main obstacle to running the business. Across the Netherlands that is 32.8 per cent. Logistics administrator, transport planner, customs declarant and freight forwarder are on the UWV list of occupations in demand for 2026-2027. So that shortage sits in the office too.

This is a quarterly figure that moves: in the second quarter of 2026 it stood at 30.7 per cent. The stable part is the distance to the national average.
