Every van in the Holland Star operation runs the same Drivewatch T2 system.

At a glance
Challenge

A growing fleet spread across the country, with no single view of where vehicles were or what happened on a shift

Solution

The Drivewatch T2 across the complete fleet, with live location and anti-theft

Result

One live view for owners and voormannen, and footage on hand when something goes wrong

Background

Holland Star has been moving freight out of Amersfoort since 2009 and has grown into a fixed transport partner for the big names in Dutch parcel delivery: PostNL, TNT Express, DHL and GLS. Its central location puts most of the Netherlands within the hour, and the operation runs on courier work, night distribution, urgent transport, storage and transshipment. The company is NIWO certified.

That mix is exactly what makes a fleet hard to oversee. Vehicles are spread across the country on different contracts, drivers rotate, and a share of the work happens after dark. Owners and voormannen were running a growing operation on phone calls and trust, without one place to see where a van was or what had happened on a shift.

The challenges

No single view of a fleet spread across the country on different carrier contracts

Night distribution work running with the least oversight and the highest risk

Vehicles standing loaded outside working hours, with no way to secure them remotely

Incidents reported after the fact, with nothing to check the account against

The solution

Drivewatch fitted the Drivewatch T2 across Holland Star's complete fleet, so every van reports into the same system regardless of which contract it is running that day.

Drivewatch T2

  • Camera coverage on every vehicle in the fleet
  • Footage tied to the moment an incident is flagged
  • The same system in every van, so nothing is a special case

Live vehicle location

  • Owners and voormannen see the fleet on one screen
  • Answers the where-is-it question without a phone call
  • Route history when a delivery is queried

Anti-theft and startonderbreker

  • Vehicles secured outside working hours
  • Remote disable from the app
  • Protection for vans that stand loaded overnight
Results

With the T2 running across the whole fleet, Holland Star's owners and voormannen work from one view instead of chasing updates:

Why it matters

A fleet that works for four different carriers is really four operations sharing one set of vans. Fitting every vehicle with the same system is what turns that back into one fleet: the same footage, the same live position, the same rules, whichever contract a van is running. For the people responsible for it, that is the difference between running an operation and reconstructing it afterwards.
