Jan Kerremans AB-Inbev Director Ontrade Secundary Distribution "Having a good planning means that we do not have to watch over our drivers like ‘Big Brother"
Jan Kerremans AB-Inbev Director Ontrade Secundary Distribution After the system was implemented, more savings were achieved than initially expected and the project has provided a profitable return on investment in less than a year.
Jan Kerremans AB-Inbev Director Ontrade Secundary Distribution ORTEC Shortrec appeared to best meet this requirement. User friendliness, reporting possibilities and linkage
to our AS400 system were also part of our selection criteria. ORTEC Shortrec fits in perfectly with these.
This, together with our confidence in ORTEC and their references, made it a no-brainer to choose ORTEC Shortrec.”
Dave Waller Alberta Health Service Manager "We chose ORTEC’s Workforce Scheduling Solution because it is the one product that provides the ability to take into consideration labor rules, union agreements and service levels while automatically optimizing our employee work schedules".
Dhr. Suijkerbuijk Anticimex “This static method of scheduling no longer meets today’s requirements,”
Dhr. Suijkerbuijk Anticimex “We will definitely increase the number of effective hours. Because we can assume that ORTEC SP will enable us to optimize our routes, we will no longer have to spend time considering them. A small proportion of our administrative activities will also become superfluous. Where other companies focus on miscellaneous separate systems, with scheduling as an afterthought, ORTEC considers scheduling a core business, just like us. This is exactly what we were looking for.”
Cor Vork Arbex Security Contracting Director “We chose ORTEC Harmony because it seemed to be a scheduling system that allowed for a great degree of flexibility. I'm also convinced that ORTEC Harmony will generate us savings. We'll certainly save a lot of time."
Frank Scholten Aviko Transport manager “After only two days, the planners no longer needed to maintain the old system as backup”
Frank Scholten Aviko Transport manager ORTEC Transport & Distibution is an emphatically multi-user application. We quickly had confidence in the system.
Frank Scholten Aviko Transport manager ORTEC very clearly understands us what the integration with SAP means to us.
Andrew Versnel Axxicom With ORTEC’s flexible solution, which can be linked to the flight information system, the schedule is always up-to-date. And this gives us control over the necessary functionality. Point one: we know where the aircraft are and where they will arrive. Point two: we know which PRM’s (Passengers with Reduced Mobility) are on which flight and where they have to go.”
Kurt Arnold BCS Process Excellence Manager “The ORTEC solution has proven to meet all of our specifications for automated dispatch and has already yielded gains of over 4% productivity after only two months of use”,This is proving to be invaluable to the quick and successful adoption by our operations team.”
Roger Blomen Boels Rental Manager external logistics, unit Party and Events "ORTEC Shortrec offers us clear savings"
Roger Blomen Boels Rental Manager external logistics, unit Party and Events We are nothing but extremely satisfied with ORTEC Shortrec. We started with a basic system and, together with ORTEC, have been able to expand as desired every time. In fact, almost anything is possible
with this system and we continue to improve our logistics p
Philip Panjer Boltjes “It was important to us that ORTEC Planwise could be implemented in real time and for multiple users. This enables us to adapt the production process as required by the customer and provides more regular updates regarding the status of orders in progress."
Marcel van den Bleeken Brantano Planning "It's the flexibility of ORTEC Shortrec that is so essential to us"
Marcel van den Bleeken Brantano Planning "ORTEC Shortrec provides solutions we would have never come up with ourselves"
De heer Meyer Brussels Airlines “With ORTEC Harmony, we can now easily respond to changes in minimum workstation manpower levels and are better informed to monitor overtime. This factor has resulted in definite cost savings for the company. Furthermore, new reporting capabilities allow the central planners to assess staffing needs as a result of holidays, sickness, resignation or retirement.”
Hans Wieleman Campina NL Head of Logistics & Transport “Just a standard system is not enough”
Hans Wieleman Campina NL Head of Logistics & Transport ORTEC Shortrec easily exchanges data with the SAP system. ORTEC also speaks the language of the everyday planner. This satisfies our mos important need.
Hans Wieleman Campina NL Head of Logistics & Transport We had faith in ORTEC being able to deliver, which was te most important factor.
Wim Terschegget Capricorn Security Service “After comparing a number of providers, we were left with two. Based on the quality of ORTEC Harmony, we chose ORTEC.
Wim Terschegget Capricorn Security Service “The automatic planner in ORTEC Harmony will be able to schedule 80% of our activities, based on the assumption that the remaining 20% will be of an ad hoc nature, and must therefore be scheduled manually by the planner. ORTEC Harmony will enable us to generate reliable schedules based on actual availability. By means of management reports we will also be able to clarify whether we have idle hours, or overcapacity.”
Ronny van den Driesch Carglass “The vehicles based at these service centers have reduced their kilometers by approximately 10%,” says Ronny van den Driesch, Audit & Vehicle Manager for Carglass® Belgium-Luxembourg. “Furthermore, ORTEC’s scheduling solution has realized time savings, which has reduced stress levels and increased efficiency. A planner can now map out a full route with a variety of service activities at various locations in under ten minutes, which frees up more time for customers at the service desk. Our drivers spend less time on the road. We can reach our customers more quickly and at the agreed time, which enables us to provide them with a better service. Our customers and staff are our prime concern. If they are happy, the shareholders are happy and the circle is complete. Our Site Managers Petra Govaerts (Hasselt) and Bernard Noël (Vilvoorde) are also extremely pleased. Recently, they even went so far as to say that they should have implemented the system much earlier.”
Wobma Centraal Boekhuis "With ORTEC Shortrec, we will be able to manage our processes more effectively. Furthermore, we will continue to provide the required level of quality services in the future, whilst at the same time having more control over our operating expenses."
Cyril Turner Coca-Cola Enterprises Atlanta Division general manager “ORTEC Shortrec is a great tool for analyzing ‘what-if’s’ and comparing different scenarios. The software works from the facts for that day and not a fixed standard. It also allows us to build routes based on time parameters so that everyone has an equitable day.”
Tim Hyatt. Coca-Cola Enterprises Coca-Cola Enterprises Operational Excellence Manager Savings up to 45 mln USD a year. Based on about 21 billion USD revenues, from 430 distribution centers it delivers Coke to an area that is home to more than 400 million consumers on a daily basis.

Atanas Atanosov Coca-Cola Hellenic Shared Services Manager “Since ORTEC best-of-breed optimization solutions are available both in a SAP embedded as well as in a non-embedded version it is possible for CC Hellenic to implement the same functionalities uniformly in every country. In addition to excellent functionalities, this standardization of logistics processes represents decisive cost and services advantages for CC Hellenic.”
Eric Delaroue Cremonini Managing Director “The time, reliability and customized reporting gained through the introduction of ORTEC has allowed us to rightsize our business to match our clients’ needs!”
Bas Hertz. D&B “Our staff deserve the best because they give our customers the best service,“This is why we opted for the ORTEC Harmony workforce scheduling system. Harmony enables us to reduce work pressure, support our growth and at the same time accomplish more work with the same number of staff and resources.”
Bas Hertz. D&B “We are currently still using Excel and an outdated system that we developed ourselves a number of years ago. Using these two systems alongside one another without error is impossible due to double input. Moreover, using two systems is more time-consuming. By contrast, ORTEC Harmony will enable us to work more efficiently, minimize the number of errors, standardize our business processes and print high-quality management reports,”
Ad de Rooy De Rooy Transport – Logistiek Director Logistics "Because ORTEC Shortrec optimizes the planning process, we’ve been able to cut cost significantly”
Ad de Rooy De Rooy Transport – Logistiek Director Logistics Now that all trip information is passed on automatically and we have an
overview of all statuses 24 hours a day, our service
and quality level has also increased!”
Johan Methorst Dimetra Holland “We chose to link ORTEC TD to NACHON in order to simplify the scheduling and have greater control over our delivery times,“Furthermore, we want to be able to provide our customer with timely information on the status of a delivery.”
Florentina Munteanu Dunca Transport Manager "When you are responsible for planning approximately 200 transport orders per day, to deliver goods within Romania and throughout Europe, an effective scheduling system is essential. This is the reason why we selected ORTEC TD in the first place.
Jeroen Mulder DYKA ORTEC Shortrec works perfectly and is exactly what we need.”
Eric Postulart E-LC “We are very happy with ORTEC LoadDesigner,“This gain would never have been possible with a manual process.”
Chris Daenen Electrolux “ ORTEC SP enables us to optimally schedule our staff and resources so that we can offer our client an agreement that suits him best. This significantly improves our customer service..... And this is where we earn our ROI.”
Ineke Eman Erasmus MC “ORTEC provides a good service and no other scheduling software is deployable on such a large scale. ORTEC Harmony has also enabled us to make numerous improvements. For example, our processes have become more streamlined and it has on occasion enabled us to save approximately half an FTE.”
Ineke Eman Erasmus MC “We have been using ORTEC Harmony for years, which means we are extremely familiar with the application.
Roland Bongenaar Eurailscout “We expect to greatly improve efficiency by using ORTEC SP, which means no more double entry and fewer scheduling errors

Theo Bos Farmtrans Director “With ORTEC Shortrec, we were able to save 10 percent and we’re looking forward to taking that a step further with ORTEC TD,”
Wim den Boer Fri-Jado super service B.V. Manager Service “ORTEC pulls out all the stops so the system works as wel as possible”
Wim den Boer Fri-Jado super service B.V. Manager Service Other systems were mainly aimed at automating the field service but we first wanted to automate our inside staff and get everything efficiently underway.
Wim den Boer Fri-Jado super service B.V. Manager Service The system had to be implemented and configured in the extraordinary short period of two months.
Wim den Boer Fri-Jado super service B.V. Manager Service What I find so special about ORTEC and the reason why ORTEC is such a good company to work with is that not only we but also they always used to offer suggestions for improving the process. The mutual givind and taking was definitely good for this coopera
Erik van Mook G4S ICT consultant "On a strategic and operational level, ORTEC Harmony is one of the most important applications within G4S Security. With ORTEC, not only are we better positioned to win new clients, but we can also improve our service to existing clients. The most important benefit of planning in ORTEC Harmony, is the high number of man hour savings we gain. This is valuable time that we can use for the benefit of all our clients, improving service delivery as a result."
Erik van Mook G4S ICT consultant "Our previous scheduling software no longer met the requirements that we sought in a modern solution. ORTEC Harmony meets these requirements and given the positive experience of using ORTEC Harmony in G4S Aviation Security, it was almost a certainty that G4S Security would follow suit." “The greatest advantage of ORTEC Harmony is the automatic entry of objects and work locations,” describes Judith Pronk, Project Manager at G4S. "As a result, the planner no longer needs to fill in these details manually. In addition, employee preferences are taken into account during the planning activities, so the planning is now more objective. Shift allocation is more evenly distributed, which has increased employee satisfaction. Moreover, gone are the times of yellow post-it notes stuck all over the planner’s computer screen."
Peter Noordanus GEAS energiewacht ORTEC Harmony offers the perfect solution to this challenge, both in the short and long term.
Mr. Verhaar Generali Manager of insurance adjusting “ORTEC’s continuous efforts makes this a necessary tool for our work environment”
Graham Foster Hi Way Express Distribution Operations Manager “Reduction in lead-time secures competitive edge”
Graham Foster Hi Way Express Distribution Operations Manager After using ORTEC Shortrec for several months now and experiencing the benefits week by week, we can honestly say our expectation of getting the best value for mony is being realised.
Graham Foster Hi Way Express Distribution Operations Manager We have managed to reduce our planning hours by 33%. Also the stress level in the planning department has been reduced due to the full transparency.
Geert Desmet HLN "Before our collaboration with ORTEC TSS, match analysis was mere guesswork. Now, ORTEC TSS provides us with objective figures. The analyses made by ORTEC TSS are available at the editorial department ten to fifteen minutes after the end of the match. They can then be published in the following day’s paper. This gives us a head start on other media."
Geert Desmet HLN "For us, the system represents a major improvement. If you look at other countries, it’s clear that we’re actually behind in this area. Despite the fact that many more analyses are now being made during the major international soccer events (such as the European Championships, the World Championships and the Champions League), this type of analysis has been in use in countries like the United States for much longer. British and Spanish newspapers also use analyses to supplement traditional sports reporting.
Frank Noordermeer Huis ter Duin Application consultant The system works very well technically and when we had issues, the ORTEC helpdesk provided excellent support. They do what they promise.
Prpic INA “For INA to advance in the European market we must invest in improved transportation systems that will optimize our logistics operation. Innovation is the key. ORTEC Shortrec and ORION are important instruments to achieve this goal. We are dealing with many challenges and constraints, including rising fuel prices, strict legislation, strong competition and increased customer demand. Tools that will improve our fleet utilization and service levels, help manage these challenges and optimize within these constraints, are becoming increasingly important.”
Pieter Jongens Informore “ORTEC Loaddesigner was the best choice given the needs of our clients,”
Pieter Jongens Informore “While this will enable us to help Samsung utilize its loading capacity as efficiently as possible, the carrier will also be able to provide Samsung with a better service. In addition, we may later be able to use the solution to determine routes for the shipper. Major shippers are also considering sharing loads in the future, which a small number of companies are already doing in the Netherlands. For instance, with a central data hub you can match the goods flows of a number of electrical manufacturers to check whether they can be combined for particular customers. ORTEC Loaddesigner, and possibly also ORTEC’s Vehicle Routing and Dispatch scheduling software, would provide an excellent solution in a future scenario of this nature. At Informore, we have implemented ORTEC Loaddesigner based on ASP, and it runs in the Atos Origin data center,”
Andrzej Gawrysiak Infovide-Matrix “ORTEC products provide state-of-the-art decision support. They distinguish themselves from similar products by the speed with which they can calculate optimal solutions to scheduling problems. This – combined with the fact that ORTEC’s products have already proven themselves in Europe and the rest of the world – meant that we were more than happy to enter into a partnership with ORTEC. We are currently busy expanding our Competence Center for sales and implementation of ORTEC’s advanced scheduling systems.”
Greville Coe Isotrak Strategic Partnership Director “Both ORTEC TD and ATMS are highly respected for their unique blend of sophistication and usability, and their ability to scale up seamlessly for many thousands of users. Combined, they close the loop between scheduling the best possible deployment of staff, resources and mobile assets, and being able to get around all the obstacles that inevitably get in the way. With this integration customers have a world-class solution that they can rely on.”
Greville Coe Isotrak Strategic Partnership Director “What’s made the partnership a success is our two companies’ mutual expertise in technology integration, and a shared vision of how technology only truly benefits when it is integrated with business strategy at board level. ORTEC has a very strong global presence, especially in Europe, while Isotrak is a market leader within the UK.”
Eric Zoetmulder Lensveld “In these departments we also need a system like the one offered by ORTEC: flexible and real-time.”
Bernhard Vetter Liebensteiner project leader After a short project duration of about four months, including a one month test-period for fine tuning between the systems, first successes were immediately noticeable. “Early on, Liebensteiner could already notice improved capacity utilization of the vehicles, faster planning of cost optimal trips, as well as improved cooperation between delivery- and pro-duction planning,“In addition, with ORTEC’s solutions we have been very well prepared for the growth, which we have experienced in recent years.“
Walther Ploos van Amstel Logistics Awards chairman "A further positive indicator according to the panel is the support that ORTEC provides to company employees involved in the implementation process. For instance, ORTEC offers a wide range of courses that can help companies to improve their strategic and operational decision-making processes, through its training institute, the ORTEC Academy."
Walther Ploos van Amstel Logistics Awards chairman "ORTEC is innovative and client-oriented,"
Christian Lerognon Loomis CEO "This distribution scheduling tool allows us to optimize the number of miles driven, is adapted to the specific needs of our line of business, takes into account the strict requirements of our clients, and helps us achieve our objective of improving profitability," LOOMIS France CEO Christian Lerognon said, adding that "the extremely short period needed to adapt our distribution operations enabled us to implement the tool in no time at all."
Sébastien Bartaud Masternaut Marketing Manager "The technological and functional synergies between our solutions are clear,"
Jan Peter Müller Müller Transport Managing Director "ORTEC Transport & Distribution
has become indispensable for
Müller Transport!"

success
Augusto Cruz Multibras Logistics Director “Our tailord-to-the-industry solution is now seen as a role model for the dispatch logistics systems of other Whirlpool production facilities”.
Augusto Cruz Multibras Logistics Director The order and routerelated loading patterns designed by LOADDESIGNER are transferred to a conveyor belt that automatically aligns the packing with the refrigerators that are to be turned or tilted.
Marcel Theunissen Nabuurs Transport "We generate more business with less capacity using ORTEC Transport & Distribution"
Marcel Theunissen Nabuurs Transport We have no doubt that we can achieve
these objectives with ORTEC, because of the vast expertise this company has gained in the transportation sector. ORTEC has a firm foothold there.
Len Stark Namasco "We at Namasco are pleased with our partnership with ORTEC. Optimized routes will not only reduce our fleet operating costs, but will also improve customer service by making planned delivery time expectations available for each customer order. With dramatically rising costs to operate our private fleet, it is critical that we learn to manage that resource and cost center, as we do all other aspects of our business."
Edwin Woltering NOS Manager "The overview alone - knowing where you can find information and the simplicity with which it appears - makes HARMONY
excellent to use"
Edwin Woltering NOS Manager The broadcasting Collective Labour Agreement is formulated in such a complicated manner that it is
open to different interpretations. Now all rules are contained unambiguously in HARMONY.
Edwin Woltering NOS Manager The reports that come out of HARMONY are indispensable. The fact alone that our business operations are much clearer makes the system worthwhile.
Frans de Rooij Paragon Decision Technology Sales Manager Europe “We are glad that we have put the long-standing relation between AIMMS and ORTEC on a firm footing for the future with this partnership. I am convinced that ORTEC’s expertise will help customers to leverage their available data and derive significant financial benefits using AIMMS-based optimization applications.”
Van Holsbeke Primagaz Sales and Marketing Manager – Cylinders explains "Our current network is outsourced to six independent bottle centers, according to region. The centers receive the cylinder orders directly from our customers and they also manage the stock, distribution and administration on our behalf. Our main challenge is how to streamline the distribution in order to cut costs and retain more control over stock levels and customer deliveries - essentially making a decision to either bring the distribution in-house or redesign the network along the same lines as the current model."
Van Holsbeke Primagaz Sales and Marketing Manager – Cylinders explains "We were all very pleased with the alternatives presented to us. Currently, our distribution network is not efficient because it consists of a large number of low quantity deliveries over a network of many kilometers. Prior to contacting ORTEC, we were already of the opinion that our network redesign should focus on changing the bottle center distribution. It was really satisfying to see our assumptions confirmed in the results, in addition to a number of options not yet considered."
Van Holsbeke Primagaz Sales and Marketing Manager – Cylinders explains “Tasked with completing our distribution network redesign by early 2010, I searched for a company with the right credentials to assist us. As ORTEC are already familiar to our company, I requested an initial meeting and was impressed by the consultants’ industry expertise and their ability to grasp the context and challenges of Primagaz’ requirements. The working relationship with ORTEC was really dynamic”
Vigouroux Primagaz “Through our collaboration with ORTEC, we are hoping to implement information tools that will truly help us manage our logistics operations.”
Toni Fonteyn Provinciale Hogeschool Limburg   They chose ORTEC’s vehicle routing and dispatch solution because they feel it is the most efficient and user-friendly of all the applications on the market.
Gerrit-Jan Laseur R.Nagel Project Manager “We can now do this using a single system. We intend to use this integrated solution to create a superior, more effective scheduling system, which will allow our planners to work more flexibly and will make it easier for us to factor in time constraints”.
Mr. Larraza Repsol the implementation of ORTEC Shortrec in Argentina was completed in six months. Mr. Larraza: “The commitment of ORTEC and its consultants was very important during the implementation and despite the distance and time differences, our working relationship
was excellent, utilizing all forms of communication to ensure the continuity of the project.”
Jason Hittleman RKA Petroleum Information Systems Manager “ORTEC’s experience and knowledge of routing and order forecasting are world-class”
Edwin Becker Saval “By connecting the mobile application to ORTEC Service Planning we will have a total solution at our disposal, enabling us to optimize the scheduling in consultation with the engineers so they can work more efficiently.” Ninety percent of Saval's work derives from contracts and subscriptions. As a result, the company can predict well in advance when the engineers must visit particular customers. “This is ideal for the scheduling,”
Maarten Maasland Schenk Tanktransport Driver coordinator “Our productivity has grown immensely, yet we still perform our scheduling activities using the same number of planners”
Arnold van Rijs Schenker Stinnes Logistics Manager Schenker Rotterdam "In recent years Schenker
International BV has clearly discovered that LoadDesigner pays for itself"
Jean-Marc Valckenaere Securitas Director of Support Operations "For example, our officers always vary the times and evenings of their patrols and will check the same site several times during a single visit. Our client base comprises many small and medium-sized businesses such as administrative service providers and hotel chains and we are committed to providing them with high-quality and reliable services. The routing solution we selected had to preserve that commitment, and in addition to the strength of its calculation feature, ORTEC’s route optimization software is a perfect match for our business. Furthermore, the flexibility of the software enables our officers to schedule the patrols using their initiative and practical expertise, which is one of our key priorities."
Ronald Bakx Simon Loos Transport “The main benefit is that we are now able to schedule all of our various types of transport using a single total solution. This also represents a major advantage to staff training. This total solution was the most important factor in our selection of ORTEC.”
Gert Martens Stichting Buitenamstel Geestgronden   We did consider a number of other packages, but after a presentation at VUmc we quickly came to the conclusion that ORTEC Harmony was best suited to our needs and requirements.”
Geert Dijkstra Stichting de Hoven “The HARMONY employee scheduling system proved to be the most advanced package available,'
Geert Dijkstra Stichting de Hoven Stichting De Hoven opted for ORTEC because of the professional support it offers. “We have had many years of good experience with ORTEC and we know that they have a lot of experience in the fields of healthcare and planning. The ORTEC staff supporting this project all come from the healthcare sector and know our organization inside and out. They use this to their advantage. They are realistic and know what they're talking about.”
Jean-Michel Colas Telemarket.fr IT-manager "Since our challenge is to find a balance between customer satisfaction and managing logistics and delivery costs, we knew we needed a reliable and experienced partner that would be able to find the best solutions to help us meet that challenge. ORTEC meets our needs perfectly, both in terms of the tools themselves and in terms of the company’s expertise and knowledge of our industry’s specific requirements."
Jean-Michel Colas Telemarket.fr IT-manager "When customers place their orders, they specify whether or not their building has an elevator. That’s another factor that ORTEC's solution takes into account when calculating the delivery times. It allows us to be even more precise and match the actual situation even more closely. In addition, the software is an effective tool for managing the financial aspect: it suggests the most efficient routes with the shortest distance in miles, while still allowing us to meet the delivery commitments we make with our customers."
Mark Bradley TNT 'Already, initial results of the partnership are most promising. ORTEC solutions have already been introduced in several countries around the world and delivered significant unit cost optimization and service improvements in all functional areas of operations.'
Peter de Zwart TNT Innight Manager Information and Communication Technology "We have confidence in the expertise of ORTEC in the area of complex route planning and scheduling"
Ling Bai TomTom “ORTEC and TomTom complement each other, which puts us both in a very strong position – us being the Track & Trace and navigation experts, and ORTEC being the Routing and Resource Scheduling specialists. Together we can offer our clients a standard end-to-end solution, ready to be implemented within any organization. Not only will our joined solution optimize its routing & scheduling, but it will also provide the planners with real-time information coming directly from our ‘Connected Navigation’ devices. Computer Retailer Mycom for example, one of ORTEC’s customers, has recently begun using the interface showing positive results”,
Edward Peeters Toyota “ORTEC’s scheduling and routing system Shortrec significantly contributes to the optimization of our logistic network,”World’s biggest car manufacturer has implemented Shortrec to support its tactical and strategic decision-making processes. “Furthermore, we want to use Shortrec to reduce our CO2 emissions by 10% in 2010.”
Gert Bellekens Transport Bellekens “ORTEC TD prevents such errors. For example, if a specific trailer has already been charted, it simply becomes unavailable for scheduling. This definitely reduces the number of errors.” Gert Bellekens is also convinced that ORTEC TD will help realize time savings, especially by means of the interface with the back office system. “This makes scheduling data immediately available for administrative purposes, so it need not be re-entered.”
Martijn Ouwehand Transportbedrijf A.C.G. Gordijn   “Our main objective is to achieve savings,”
Jo Vandersmissen UZ Leuven "ORTEC was convincing. The fact that they were able to offer us a solution for the workplace scheduling and could offer considerable experience in the field of operational scheduling and staff scheduling, created a very favorable impression.”
Jo Vandersmissen UZ Leuven "Professional scheduling is receiving an increasing amount of attention here. For this reason we decided to implement the ORTEC Harmony staff scheduling system from ORTEC. After all, we cannot afford to leave capacity unutilized. With ORTEC Harmony we are able to optimally deploy our people."
Richard van der Helm Van der Helm Transportgroep “We want to optimize our use of the vehicle fleet so that we can further reduce the number of empty kilometers. Furthermore, we want to have greater control over the administrative process and be able to inform our customers more quickly. The ORTEC scheduling and routing system will be interfaced with the Transport Management Systems and the onboard computers. The fact these interfaces can be created was a decisive factor for us to select ORTEC TD.”
Rene van Maanen Van Maanen Transport “For instance, we don’t just generate a solid transport schedule – realtime adjustments can be made more easily. Using ORTEC’s solution has definitely allowed us to make major savings – and contribute to a better environment.”
Rene van Maanen Van Maanen Transport “We began using ORTEC back in the mid-nineties, which shows that we’re trendsetters in IT! This is one of the reasons why we’ve again received awards.”
Richard Steenbakkers Versteijnen Controller "It is impressive to note how much logistics knowledge exists within the company"
Richard Steenbakkers Versteijnen Controller "ORTEC's knowledge is, quite simply,
impressive"
Peter de Koning Versteijnen Logistics “Due to this combination, the planners have a better insight into the activities in the warehouse. As soon as a load is ready to be shipped, the planning department can start planning the shipping”,Goal of the link was to obtain a better overview, decreasing the communication that is necessary between the two departments. “That is a goal we clearly achieved”,
Peter de Koning Versteijnen Logistics Peter de Koning says he is pleased with the positive outcome of the link between the two systems, which was a first for both companies. “It was the first time that ORTEC TD was paired with Red Prairie’s WMS. It gave another proof of ORTEC’s flexibility and the ease with which ORTEC’s planning solutions can be combined with management software or mobile third party applications.”
Barend van Lieshout. Vlietland Ziekenhuis “The automation of our scheduling processes makes them less labor-intensive and staff have gained a welcome insight into schedules by means of the Internet portal. We can now perform automated, quality-oriented scheduling based on the available capacity and therefore also the production. In the past this was almost impossible.” According to Barend van Lieshout, “this will also save the team leaders who are responsible for the scheduling activities a considerable amount of input work, and therefore also time.” Barend van Lieshout is extremely positive regarding the cooperation with ORTEC. “ORTEC is a highly experienced company that knows exactly how to deal with our Collective Labor Agreement and problems.”
Kris Hemmink VU Medisch Centrum Project-manager If I look at the staff schedulers, I see a lot of enthusiasm. Without ORTEC's experience, things wouldn't have run so smoothly. You immediately notice that they are more than just software suppliers. Support was one of the reasons why we chose ORTEC.
Kris Hemmink VU Medisch Centrum Project-manager We chose ORTEC, not only because of the HARMONY solution, but also because the provided us with excellent service
Anton Servaas Zeeman “ORTEC has listened clearly to our requirements,”
Anton Servaas Zeeman “Our calculations show that with ORTEC we will be able to realize considerable savings on transportation costs,”
Anton Servaas Zeeman It is obvious that, with ORTEC, we have hired a professional team with a wealth of expertise. This inspires confidence.”
