Van den Bosch, with a rich legacy and a stronghold in bulk freight logistics, sought a solution to navigate the unprecedented volatility in capacity and prices post-Covid. Their existing, predominantly manual pricing model, coupled with limited information, prompted a critical evaluation of the efficacy of Machine Learning and external data integration.

ClearD3™ implemented an automated external supply-chain data-driven pricing system for Van den Bosch. The primary goal was to achieve maximum cash contribution margins by matching the company’s quotes with estimated demand for lanes, departing from the industry-standard “cost plus margin” approach.

The needs of society, customers, employees and network are changing with sustainability playing an increasing role. Solutions change with it. For the long term, we want to further increase our positive impact to make the bulk sector more sustainable together. Data plays a big role in this.”

ClearD3’s solution not only enhances pricing performance but also aligns with Van den Bosch’s commitment to leading the digital transition in transport. This collaboration signifies a major leap forward in leveraging technology to achieve operational excellence and competitive advantage.
