Managed services have been delivered to clients such as Apple, Tektronix, Stanley, Autoliv and Philips.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situation: In 1995, French-Dutch investors had the ambition to set up a new type of logistics service for launching customer Apple. A service which would later make a name for itself as 4th Party Logistics- or Control Tower services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Challenge<\/em>: To successfully shape services for Apple and scale it to broader market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Approach<\/em>: Logistics process management, in-house developed software and self-organizing teams were the backbone of the service delivered to customers. The software provided transparency in the logistics performance and costs of the contracted sea, air, rail and road transport companies. This enabled the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/en\/focus-on-self-organisation\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"4620\">self-managing <\/a>account teams to optimize the supply chain on the basis of value and urgency, to respond quickly\/effectively to developments and evaluate and pay contracted parties. By actively involving employees and external stakeholders in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/en\/incremental-implementation\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"4623\">iterations<\/a> of the further development of the service, continuous innovation was optimally secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the success at Apple, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/en\/focus-on-customer-value\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"4619\">value add<\/a> service was then scaled to customers such as Tektronix, Autolive, Philips and Stanley. In 1999, ALIS was sold successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group alignfull has-ast-global-color-8-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-bottom  testimonial is-style-shadow has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Patrick-Legal-edited-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Patrick-Legal-edited-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Patrick-Legal-edited-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Patrick-Legal-edited-1-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Patrick-Legal-edited-1-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Patrick-Legal-edited-1-1151x1536.jpg 1151w, https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Patrick-Legal-edited-1-1534x2048.jpg 1534w, https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Patrick-Legal-edited-1.jpg 1775w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"is-style-badge has-ast-global-color-8-background-color has-background\">Start-up, scale &amp; exit <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Exit with excellent return on investment!&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick Legal, CEO Crystal Group<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color\">Let&#8217;s talk!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Let&#8217;s discover whether I can help you accelerate business growth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-0-color has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/en\/contact\/\">Send me a message<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-5-color has-ast-global-color-2-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:0031654676176\">Give me a call +316 54676176<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:278px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium is-resized size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Jord-profiel-rond-wit.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Jord-profiel-rond-wit-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Jord-profiel-rond-wit-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Jord-profiel-rond-wit-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Jord-profiel-rond-wit-270x269.png 270w, https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Jord-profiel-rond-wit.png 428w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4663","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","hentry"],"uagb_featured_image_src":[],"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Jord","author_link":"https:\/\/www.xelero.nl\/en\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Start-up and scale new type of service provider.
