Bata Industrials & Schotpoort

André Daas has been working for the company that produces safety shoes and socks for over 22 years. Of these 22 years, he has been the Supply Chain Manager for 18 years. During that time, André has worked with a large variety of different logistical service providers such as Schotpoort Logistics.

”When we decided to make the transition to a new logistical service provider, we conversed with several parties. Schotpoort hit the bull’s eye straight away, as far as I was concerned. They came with just two people, the director/decision-maker together with a real professional. No broad sales pitches, but short and to the point.”

”Schotpoort designed and arranged the set up of a warehouse on our premises. This arrangement has been very advantageous, providing us with short lines and a high level of efficiency. It is our building, but their equipment, their forklifts, scanners and Warehouse Management System (WMS). But most important of all: it’s their people. It is perplexing how flexible and motivated the Schotpoort employees are. They swiftly adapt and excellently cooperate with our clients.”

”Schotpoort unburdens our entire supply chain, from transportation to warehousing which includes processing, stickering and placing of the goods, storage and the outward journey that is the delivery to our clients. A small but very important aspect of the cooperation is the presence of a key contact person at Schotpoort. Schotpoort automatically provides a replacement in the event of holidays. Of course, this is someone who has studied the way our company operates beforehand.”
