Innovation in the container Industry

HelloContainer is the first online booking platform for containers. The platform provides a complete overview of prices, sailing schedules, quality of providers, and the CO2 emissions of transport. Through the platform, you can arrange the entire container transport from A to Z. The platform helps to save a lot of time in terms of logistics since it digitizes the administrative processes.

HelloContainer is a fast-growing concept with a focus on the export of containers from the Netherlands and Belgium. HelloContainer believes in the power of transparency since the container industry is still far from being transparent. Nevertheless, by implementing more integrated processes, costs for shipping containers will decrease and cleaner options will be more popular. Therefore we strive to deliver a more efficient service by eliminating links in the chain and with this, to achieve a more sustainable future.

In 2017 and 2018, Jos de Jonge, Kees Koopman, and Ron de Wit, experts on the container, logistics, and IT sectors respectively, developed HelloContainer in collaboration with the European Institute for Transport and Living Environment. Their dream: “ to create the platform which will become the new standard in the market and thus leave a cleaner world behind for our children and grandchildren”.

A powerful vision, a challenging ambition, and a unique technical solution are a good foundation, but no guarantee of successful growth. Market penetration is just as important. That is why Matthijs Lugtenburg, Executive Director at AddVision, was asked to develop a marketing and communication strategy, aimed at successfully conquering the traditional market. Based on the strategy, the implementation has been taken over by Joyce de Smit,  she develops the content on the site and social media channels since the beginning of 2022. Matthijs is still connected as a strategic advisor.
