For Neele-Vat, digitalisation is a strategic enabler for international growth. Neele-Vat is an international family-owned logistics company headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Since its foundation in 1975, the company has grown into a leading global logistics service provider with more than 40 offices in over 20 countries, approximately 1,700 employees and over 550,000 m² of warehouse capacity across the Benelux. By combining entrepreneurship, innovation and personal commitment, Neele-Vat delivers integrated supply chain solutions covering Sea Freight, Air Freight, Road Transport, Warehousing, Customs and Value Added Logistics. To support these global operations, Neele-Vat relies on Fiton's integrated logistics platform.
One platform for global freight forwarding
International freight forwarding requires continuous collaboration between origin offices, destination agents, shipping lines, carriers, terminals, customs authorities and customers. Fiton's Digital Freight Forwarding platform brings all stakeholders together in a single integrated environment. The Sea Freight Forwarding solution supports the complete shipment lifecycle, from quotation and booking to documentation, container planning, customs declarations, invoicing and financial settlement. Origin and destination agents work within the same platform, enabling operational teams worldwide to share information in real time and eliminating duplicate data entry. The result is complete visibility and operational control throughout the entire shipment journey.
A connected supply chain powered by APIs
Modern logistics depends on connectivity. Through extensive API integrations, the Fiton platform exchanges real-time information with shipping lines, terminals, carriers, customers and other logistics partners. Shipment milestones, container events, transport updates, documentation and operational data are automatically synchronised across the platform. Customers benefit from a comprehensive self-service portal providing real-time visibility into shipments, container tracking, warehouse inventory, customs status, documents and operational milestones. This enables both Neele-Vat and its customers to work from a single, always up-to-date source of information.
AI-powered workflow automation
Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of the operational workflow. Fiton's AI Agents assist logistics professionals by automating repetitive administrative tasks, processing transport documentation, recognising exceptions, prioritising activities and supporting operational decision-making. By reducing manual work and improving data quality, employees can focus on customer service, exception management and value-adding logistics activities while increasing operational efficiency across the organisation.
Fully integrated customs management
International logistics cannot operate efficiently without seamless customs compliance. Fiton Customs supports virtually all Dutch customs processes within a single integrated platform. Customs declarations are automatically generated using operational data from Freight Forwarding and Warehouse Management, eliminating duplicate data entry and significantly reducing processing time. Because customs, forwarding and warehousing all operate on the same data model, every shipment remains fully traceable throughout the entire logistics process while ensuring regulatory compliance.
A scalable platform for international growth
By integrating Freight Forwarding, Warehouse Management, Customs and Finance into one platform, Neele-Vat has established a scalable digital foundation for continued international expansion. New customers, warehouses, countries and logistics operations can be onboarded efficiently without disconnected applications or duplicated processes. Employees work within a unified environment, while management benefits from real-time dashboards and complete operational visibility across the global organisation. The partnership between Neele-Vat and Fiton extends beyond software implementation. It represents a long-term collaboration focused on continuous innovation, digital transformation and supply chain optimisation.
