Well organised: De Vos Transport runs on TMS ONEtobeONE

As the owner of a small but professional transport company, Gert de Vos from Boertange knows exactly what he wants: calm, clarity, and control over his operations. With his company, De Vos International Transport B.V., he handles daily trips across the Netherlands and abroad. “I just want everything to be right,” he says. “What goes out, what goes in, who drives what — everything needs to be properly arranged. That gives me peace of mind.”

Recently, Gert started using the ONEtobeONE TMS, the platform for transport planning, administration, and communication with clients. In addition, he and his drivers work with the ONEtoMOVE boardcomputer: an app that allows documents, load details, and statuses to be linked in real-time to the correct order. This combination has significantly changed the way he works.

“Before, I’d often spend half of Saturday and Sunday behind the laptop after parking my Scania at the yard,” Gert explains. “Sorting receipts, retrieving CMRs, entering weights, and typing up information for clients. Now, most of it is already done by the time the trip ends. My drivers enter the loaded cargo, attach documents via the onboard app on their phones, and it’s automatically linked to the order. I barely have to look at it.”

Efficiency on Wheels

The software supports daily operations and compliance with regulations. With ONEtobeONE, Gert also manages his GMP+ records. “I can now see exactly what’s been transported in each trailer. That has to be correct, especially when you're handling products for the animal feed industry.”

According to Gert, it doesn’t just save him time — it gives him mental clarity. “It’s all clear, and I don’t have to chase things afterwards. When I open my laptop now, it’s just to make a few invoices. Everything else is already done.”

Working Together Toward Progress

According to Logistics Engineer Bonne van Veen from ONEtobeONE, De Vos International Transport is a textbook example of a company that benefits from smart digitization. “Gert is hands-on, pragmatic, and knows what he wants. No fuss — just everything correct and time-efficient. That’s exactly what we offer.”

Bonne worked closely with Gert to ensure a smooth implementation. “What I find great to see is how much it’s helped him. He clearly has more peace of mind, even while he’s still on the road a lot. That’s the goal of ONEtobeONE: allowing entrepreneurs to focus on what they do best — without being haunted by admin.”

Looking Ahead

Gert is now fully used to working with ONEtobeONE. New orders come in automatically, he assigns them to drivers, and the feedback to clients is generated automatically. “We now have a system I can rely on,” Gert says. “I don’t need to worry anymore.”

Bonne agrees: “When practical entrepreneurs like Gert see that it works, they really get on board. That’s when progress happens. And for us, that’s confirmation we’re on the right track.”
