With a rich history spanning over a century, Millenaar & van Schaik has grown into one of the largest asphalt transport companies in The Netherlands. Operating from Oude Meer, the company runs its own fleet of approximately 105 vehicles, deployed daily for a wide range of tipper transport operations. Their distinctive yellow-and-black trucks are a familiar sight on road construction projects across the country, from small-scale assignments to large, complex infrastructure projects.
In an organization where high volumes, tight planning, and accurate administrative processing are directly interconnected, a stable and integrated Transport Management System (TMS) is essential. Digitalization plays a central role in this. That is why Millenaar & van Schaik has been working with the FleetGO Tipper TMS since 2011.
The Challenge: Manual Administrative Processing
Due to the fact Millenaar & van Schaik operate in an industry where large numbers of transport movements and freight documents are processed every day, manual administration can quickly result in high costs, errors, and invoicing delays.
“When I joined Millenaar & van Schaik, they had already been using the TMS since 2011. Going paperless in combination with the TMS was an eye-opener for me. At my previous employer, much of the administration was still done manually. Entering data by hand also comes with costs. When you calculate how many transport movements take place and how many freight documents are created on a daily basis, it truly makes a world of difference.”
Marcel Vermeulen – Operations Director
For Marcel, it was clear: further growth and efficiency would only be possible with a fully digital and paperless process, from trip registration to administrative settlement.
By working completely paperless, freight documents are processed digitally and directly linked to the correct trip and customer. This prevents duplicate data entry, accelerates administrative handling, and makes information available in real time for everyone in the office. In addition, paperless operations contribute to more sustainable business practices and a more professional image toward clients.
The Solution: FleetGO Tipper TMS
“I am extremely happy that everything is digitalized; the automatic processing of freight documents saves an enormous amount of work and therefore costs.”
Marcel Vermeulen – Operations Director
FleetGO Tipper TMS streamlines their entire logistics process. From order entry and planning to real-time status and location insights, pro forma invoicing, and digital freight document processing: every step within tipper transport is integrated into one centralized system.
The system also supports seamless order exchange and the efficient hiring of charters. Thanks to integrations with a wide range of onboard computers and built-in communication via email and SMS notifications, information flows quickly and in a structured manner. Drivers receive their trip assignments and tasks directly in the app, ensuring they always have access to up-to-date and complete information.
The Result: Full Digitalization and Seamless Data Exchange
By consolidating all processes within one platform, duplicate data entry is eliminated and real-time insight into both operational and administrative progress is achieved. This not only results in significant cost savings, but above all provides greater control, transparency, and grip on daily operations.
A key advantage of FleetGO Tipper TMS is its ability to facilitate easy data exchange, both internally and externally. In a supply chain where collaboration is crucial, data only becomes valuable when it can be shared.
“What matters most to me is data exchange. Data only becomes information when you can share it. With FleetGO Tipper TMS, it is very easy to exchange data. We not only share information with other transport companies that use the same system, but our reporting to Statistics Netherlands (CBS) is also fully automated. In addition, our drivers genuinely enjoy working with the product. The user-friendly interface ensures they can work with it smoothly. As a result, FleetGO Tipper TMS is fully integrated throughout our entire supply chain and has become an essential part of our operations.”
Marcel Vermeulen – Operations Director

- Faster administrative processing
- Fewer manual actions
- Automated reporting (such as reporting to Statistics Netherlands)

There is a genuine willingness to think along and anticipate future market developments and new legislation, such as mileage-based road charging. FleetGO adapts smoothly and responds proactively.”
