Trusted by international clients

Increase margin per trip & order, reduce waiting time without productive actions, and make your supply chain ESG-proof.

The pressure on costs, service, and compliance is increasing. VDS Automation helps carriers, 3PLs, and DCs to operate faster, safer, and more predictably with scalable solutions that deliver measurable results.

KPI platform

One truth for cost/km, OTIF, dwell time, loading rate, CO₂/trip and SLAs.

Energy & sustainability

Insight from depot to vehicle; kWh per order/trip and exports for ESG reporting.

Stock & traceability

Linking WMS/ERP/IoT for complete traceability from order to delivery.

KPI platform

The KPI platform of VDS brings together data from TMS, WMS, ERP, telematics, and finance into one reliable control view. Everyone looks at the same definitions and the same reality, allowing discussions over figures to be replaced by decisions based on causes and trends. OTIF, loading rate, empty kilometers, dwell times, picks per hour, and costs per order or trip are continuously refreshed and can be traced back to order, trip, and stop level. Exceptions automatically come to the forefront with thresholds and alerts, enabling teams to intervene where it matters. Customer SLAs and reports are shared directly via a branded portal, and financial effects, such as DSO and claims ratio, are visible on the same screen. The result is predictable performance, faster decision-making, and a demonstrable reduction in waste and lead time.

Energiemonitoring binnen de transport en logistieksector

Energy & sustainability

With the energy layer, you gain control over consumption from depot to vehicle and link kWh to orders, trips, and zones. Sub-metering on systems like refrigeration and compressors, plus integrations with charging hubs and telematics, make peak loads and anomalous profiles immediately visible.

Dashboards show kWh per order or trip, peak kW, idle consumption, and CO₂ per unit; anomalies automatically trigger actions, such as adjusted charging schedules or setpoints. ESG and CSRD reports roll out with no extra Excel work, because the underlying data integrations are already in place. The result: structurally lower energy and emissions costs, and a practical preparation for the transition to an electric fleet and the reality of grid congestion.

Stock & traceability

The inventory and traceability solution standardizes scanning from receipt to shipping, so that every movement, from component to delivery, is traceable. Serial numbers, locations, and conditions are recorded, forming a continuous timeline with timestamps, operators, and, where necessary, temperature or photo proof. Cycle counting operates based on risk and turnover rate, which increases inventory accuracy and reduces searching. In case of discrepancies, the cause can be quickly identified and correction can take place before a claim arises. Documents such as labels, packing slips, ASN, and ePOD/eCMR are automatically linked and archived, so that order-to-cash is accelerated and audits proceed without friction. The result is higher IRA, shorter dock-to-stock time, and a solid proof dossier for the customer and compliance.

Frequently asked questions

How can I make the energy consumption of my logistics operation transparent?

With VDS's energy layer, you gain control over consumption from depot to vehicle. Submetering on installations such as cooling and compressors, combined with integrations with charging stations and telematics, makes peak loads and deviant profiles immediately visible. Consumption data is linked to orders and trips, allowing you to monitor kWh per order or trip and adjust accordingly.

How do I reduce the percentage of empty kilometers?

Empty kilometers are one of the biggest margin killers in transport. By analyzing trip data, load factors, and planning patterns, structural causes become visible: suboptimal return planning, uneven customer distributions, or missed combination opportunities. VDS's KPI platform makes empty kilometer percentages per route, region, and customer transparent, allowing planners to optimize data-driven instead of relying solely on experience.

How do I achieve complete traceability from receipt to delivery?

By scanning every movement in your warehouse and chain, from receipt to shipment, you build a continuous timeline for each item. Serial numbers, locations, conditions, timestamps, and operators are recorded, supplemented with temperature or photo evidence where necessary. VDS Automation standardizes this scanning process and links it to your WMS and ERP, allowing you to precisely demonstrate what happened, when, and by whom for each shipment.
