A question we often get.
And the answer is simple: no.
It is true that labor costs are slightly lower in our neighboring countries and that employees there can be deployed more flexibly, but there are also opportunities to do so in Belgium.
We have developed our WMS software in such a way that a new worker can join our warehouse after just 15 minutes of training.
Thanks to this approach in combination with the flexible deployment of work students, we have thus actually created our own flexible labor.
The law on night work was also finally amended at the beginning of 2016.
This allows us to set our cut-off at 22-23h.
This means that if a consumer purchases from one of our customers before 10 p.m., they will receive their order at home the next day.
Our obsession with efficiency through our software and IT ensures that we can easily work at the same rates as e.g. our northern neighbors.
In addition to the same rates for e-fulfilment, from our warehouses in Mechelen (between Brussels and Antwerp) we can also fully exploit the advantages of our central location.
Belgium, and more specifically Mechelen, is located in the heart of Europe on one of the main logistics axes, surrounded by Germany, the Netherlands, France and Luxembourg.
These countries are only 1 to 2 hours away from us.
This allows us to guarantee our customers the best and fastest connection to virtually all logistics networks.
And that in turn results in cheaper shipping rates, better cut-offs and faster delivery times throughout Europe.
