Vanderlande is a market-leading, global partner for future-proof logistic process automation in the warehousing, airports and parcel sectors. It’s owned by Toyota Industries Corporation and has a growing turnover of € 1.8 billion.

The challenge

The internal logistics team was looking to optimize processes to reduce the costs. The person responsible for this project dropped out. Usually, such cost reduction projects go to traditional consultancy firms but Vanderlande required specific expertise and was under time pressure.

“ We quickly found the right person via Sweav. The expertise was exactly what we needed and the output was very practical. This allowed for the in-house team to directly work with the recommendations to realize our goals. ”
